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.

Alyssa Habschmidt
Therapist, AMFT
Sensitive people who desire a more meaningful, self-led life come to me for support to talk through some of the trickiest, most vulnerable parts of their lives. I work with people in long-term, insight-oriented therapy and will help you understand what's going on beneath the surface — the fears, longings, and protective patterns that quietly shape your life. We will approach these parts of yourself with curiosity, creating space for healing, growth, and self-trust. I am warm, collaborative, engaged, and supportive, offering an environment where you can say things you've never had the permission to say out loud. You lead the way; I walk beside you.
If this resonates, reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Stuart Kaplowitz / Serene Pathways Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MFT
Like a volcano, 2 things tend to happen if we stuff our thoughts and feelings; we can explode or implode. We may blow up and we all know what that looks like. Other times though, we stuff what's on our mind, thinking it will just go away. It wont. In fact, doing this can lead to angst and depression. We can help you best address your needs. 30 of us here to offer specialized care. We all get stuck sometimes. You deserve support to address bumps in the road and help you through them.
