Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Whether you're adjusting to life with a new baby, wondering if your young child is on track developmentally, worried about your child's anxiety, navigating a difficult transition, or feeling stuck in patterns with your teen, you don't have to figure it out alone.
I believe that behavior always has meaning. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work to understand the experiences, relationships, and developmental needs that may be shaping them. Together, we'll build on your family's strengths while helping your child or teen develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive.
I specialize in working with infants and young children, children, and parents. My approach is grounded in attachment, developmental science, and play therapy, creating a space where children feel safe enough to express themselves and parents feel supported rather than judged. I also have specialized training in infant mental health and enjoy working with families during pregnancy, infancy, and the early years to strengthen the parent-child relationship, support healthy development, and address concerns before they become bigger challenges.
My goal is for every family to leave therapy with a deeper understanding of themselves and one another, along with practical tools and renewed hope for the future.

New Beginnings Counseling Center (NBCC)
Pre-Licensed Professional
At New Beginnings Counseling Center's (NBCC) Donald J. Willfong Community Counseling Center, we are deeply committed to supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges with compassionate, accessible, and culturally attuned mental health care. For over 50 years, our nonprofit clinic has been a cornerstone of the Santa Barbara community, offering confidential counseling and therapeutic services that empower people to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Our diverse team of masters- and doctoral-level counselors — supported by experienced clinical supervisors — provides evidence-informed therapy in a traineeship setting, helping clients explore life transitions, relationship concerns, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, compulsive behaviors, substance use challenges, stress, anger management, isolation, and more. We offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling, available both in person and through telehealth to meet the varied needs of our community.
We believe that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of financial means. That’s why we provide one of the most affordable sliding-scale fee structures in the region — many clients pay less than $15 per session — and we never turn anyone away due to inability to pay. Counseling is available in both English and Spanish.
In addition to our clinical services, New Beginnings is dedicated to fostering community well-being through training the next generation of clinicians, integrating trauma-informed practices, and ensuring that our services are responsive, respectful, and strength-based. Our mission is to help individuals not just cope, but truly thrive, by supporting their emotional growth, resilience, and overall wellness.
We warmly welcome you to begin your journey toward healing and self-discovery with us.

Nina Marikian
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Life can leave you feeling shaken—betrayal, relational abuse, or divorce can erode trust, shake your sense of self, and make relationships feel unsafe. It’s normal to feel hurt, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
I also specialize in sex therapy and intimacy work. Whether sexual desire feels distant, connection feels confusing, or intimacy brings anxiety, we can explore what’s getting in the way and work toward sexual confidence, satisfying closeness, and authentic connection.
In a supportive, nonjudgmental space, we’ll address the patterns holding you back, strengthen boundaries, improve communication, and take practical steps toward safer, more fulfilling relationships and intimacy—so you can feel heard, valued, and connected again.
