Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
I’m an EMDR therapist with a PMH-C certification, specializing in trauma and perinatal mental health. I work with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or impacted by past experiences, as well as those navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, or the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum.
My ideal clients are open to growth and looking for more than just symptom relief—they want to better understand themselves and feel more at ease in their daily lives. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can process what’s been weighing on you.
Using EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, I help clients heal from past experiences and build resilience. I also welcome individuals with a range of mental health concerns.

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.
