New Beginnings Counseling Center

If you have any deep concerns about life, or are processing ACES too high, if you have PTSD, or even if you are doing great, and just want to process something not too big, Id avoid this place. The last two encounters were really not helpful at all. If this place gets any government funding, gosh, sorry taxpayer taxes are going here.

they wont help with housing, they dont do counseling.they say there is no housing in the area and offer to send you to a homeless shelter. they're not sincerely friendly.they're funded as SSVF for rapid rehousing in santa maria but they dont have housing options except one house in santa maria which the landlord sits on the board of new beginnings. the caseworkers for new beginnings arent helpful and lie to the VA to hurt your case.

just be careful. in my experience the "safe" gimmick can be deceptive. this was supposed to be an all woman lot in SB city but I was harassed by two men and one who behaved threateningly towards me. these were supposedly residents. I don't know what the dangers are in regards to other parkers. had to quit the program. back to being overnight homeless but hopefully treated better. do these "permits" mean anything? no Lot Attendant answers the phone and are you ready to call 911? bad situations happen fast. not worth the risk. no residents or anyone should approach you, that's common sense. would include other things in this review but don't want to jeopardize confidentiality....read full review
