I provided therapeutic services to UCSB students and faculty, as well as other community members through the counseling center in Goleta and Isla Vista locations for three years. A great resource with many wonderful therapists with specialties who take insurance.

I worked with CALM as an associate clinical social worker in both Lompoc and Santa Barbara. I worked there on the Whatever it Takes (WIT) team for three years, providing therapy to children, adolescents and families. I provided trauma therapy to children and teens who experienced some form of abuse, and provided therapy to families working on reunification, or foster care.

Also a great resource for free or reduced individual and group therapy for those that qualify.
