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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Dawn Holtan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I bring deep empathy and a healthy sense of humor into the work that I do. Together, we will be able to hold the darkness and begin to let in the light. Folks I work with regularly tell me that they love being able to laugh with me, and that it helps them to be able to tell me anything without feeling judged or shamed. You deserve to be seen for who you really are.

Sage Grazer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You may look like you have it together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or constantly questioning yourself. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship stress, or feeling emotionally exhausted despite appearing capable to others. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical, helping you better understand the deeper patterns behind your struggles while also giving you concrete tools to create meaningful change and feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your daily life.

Emily St. Amant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-MHSP-S (TN), LPCC (CA)
My approach is very down-to-earth, and I aim to use research-backed therapy interventions in a way that’s accessible and helpful. Those who work with me can expect to experience a safe and supportive space. I believe no two people need the same approach. The job of a counselor is to help you find your footing and support you on your unique journey. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to all potential clients to ensure we are a great fit.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My practice is especially supportive for people navigating transitions, burnout, identity shifts, or the quiet sense that something in life needs to change. I bring steadiness, creativity, and a deep respect for your lived experience, offering a space where you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. You get to arrive as you are, and we move at a pace that feels safe, honest, and sustainable. If you’re longing for clarity, connection, or a more spacious relationship with yourself, I’m here to walk with you as you find your way forward.
