Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Sage Grazer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my therapy practice, I balance depth and practicality. I don’t just help you talk about what’s wrong. I help you understand the patterns underneath it and give you concrete tools to change them. I specialize in working with high-functioning, thoughtful adults who may look put together on the outside but feel anxious, burned out, or self-critical internally. My approach is non-judgmental, collaborative, and insight-driven, blending emotional processing with evidence-based strategies so you can build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a life that feels aligned.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
If you’re looking for a therapist who can help you strengthen your relationships, reconnect with yourself, and feel more confident in who you are, you’re in the right place. I have specialized training in working with relationship challenges, sex addiction, sexual concerns, trauma, and identity-related stress, and I work with both individuals and couples who want meaningful, lasting change.
I also provide LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and support clients in a wide range of relationship styles, including non-monogamous relationships. Offering online therapy allows me to work with clients who might otherwise struggle to find the right fit.
Whether you’re working to improve communication, heal from past experiences, or better understand yourself and your relationships, I’m here to offer a supportive space where real change can happen in your personal life and in your relationships.

Lorraine Schwartz
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA LMFT
I am a warm, straight forward & occasionally a funny therapist who will ask you a lot of questions to help you find your own authentic answers. I speak plainly & provide a non-judgmental, safe environment where we can explore what's going on in your world at your pace using traditional talk therapy and/or EMDR. I believe sometimes we learn early on that in order to stay safe we need to hide parts of who we really are and to not express our needs. Sometimes we do this too well and for too long. We can work together so you learn to re-connect to those parts of yourself that have stayed hidden. We can work to develop the ability to understand what your needs are and how have them met. The body is designed to propel itself towards health like it does when healing a cut on the skin or getting better from a cold. The same is true for our brain & our mental health. We are designed to heal.

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.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.
