Dr. Connie Stomper
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, EdD, DSS
Soul Musings is coaching/ counseling with Dr. Connie Stomper which is focused on helping people overcome stress, anxiety and depression as well as chronic illness (which I have lived through and overcome.) or who just want to pursue personal growth. This work is for people who seek to live in an expanded experience of joy, loving and peace. In addition to my training in psychology, counseling skills, my work is informed by my decade of organizational consulting and training where I worked with communication skills, listening skills, problem-solving, group decision-making and team building. I also have extensive training in relationship and group dynamics. This experience helps me assist clients with inter-personal and communication skills in both personal life and work situations.

Soma Aloia, Holistic Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, SE, CSC, CYT
Healing isn't about fixing what's wrong with you - there is nothing wrong with you. Healing is permission to your nervous system to experience the safety, support, and connection it may have missed earlier in life. When the body begins to feel safe, many symptoms that once seemed unrelated can begin to make sense. Then you begin to heal and develop into your full potential. I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. I help you make sense of complex experiences that seem disconnected so you can heal into wholeness.

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.

I have worked with individuals and couples for over 10 years on everything from relationship challenges to working through personal crisis or unrealized goals.
