David B. Biggs
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Hello and thank you for checking out my profile. I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist with more than 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in clinical, residential, and private practice settings, and have received training in multiple evidence based therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy. Choosing the right therapist from a website can be difficult, which is why I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation so you can get a sense of whether I'm a good fit for your needs. If I'm not, I will make every effort to refer you to a therapist that is. If we do choose to work together, I will work hard to build an authentic, trusting relationship with you, so together we can uncover your inner resources to overcome the challenges you’re facing, and attain the personal growth you're committed to accomplishing.

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.
