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.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
You’ve spent years being the capable one, and you’re still running into the same patterns in your relationships, your work, and the ways you get in your own way. Maybe you’ve done therapy before and it only went so far, or this is your first time and you just know you need to go deeper.
I’m a depth psychotherapist and astrotherapist, and I use astrology with every client as one of the ways we understand what you’re carrying. I work with high achievers, entrepreneurs, creatives, healers and therapists, and people moving through big life transitions or spiritual awakenings. Most of the people I work with are neurodivergent or highly sensitive, and many are cycle breakers healing what came down their family line.
My work is relational and goes to the root. It includes shadow work, IFS-informed parts work, ancestral healing, and ritual. I’m an initiated Dagara diviner, and my spirituality is grounded. I don’t use it to bypass the human parts of healing.
I offer therapy intensives in person in Sacramento, open to anyone from anywhere, and online in California and Texas, along with limited weekly online therapy.
