Get started with Inspiration Point Counseling, today.
Carlos Guerrero received his bachelors degree from UCSB and went on to complete his masters at CSU Long Beach. However, his real world training and experience comes from working in individuals experiencing medical and behavioral life-limiting conditions (cancer, diabetes, end of life, chronic addictions, homelessness, PTSD, panic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and other major mental health challenges). This humbling experience and human connection is what motivated him to further his studies and trainings. Carlos has practiced in community mental health, medical social work (oncology), urgent care psychological first aid responder, supportive housing (homeless prevention) , group practice corporation, and most recently hanging up his own shingle in private practice.
His years of experience, gaps in the healthcare system, and need for therapist to have ownership and equity over their clinical practice and interventions is what motivated him to start his own group practice. In doing so, the goal is to increase access to mental healthcare by accepting various forms of contracted insurances.

I believe that I work well with folks who have had a history of trauma which has led to internal or external conflict, or both. Now, they find themselves ready to begin or move further along the healing journey.

Ashley Moody, AMFT
It takes courage to find out who we are, what we need, and be willing to look at the different parts of ourselves to process and heal.
I like to work with individuals, couples, and families to uncover the unconscious patterns that could be causing unnecessary suffering in relationships. Identifying generational patterns, family systems, attachment, religious trauma, and stepfamily dynamics are some areas that I specialize.
Rebecca Roark, AMFT

I entered the field to help support folks process, heal, and find a way to lessen their pain. Therapy can be helpful in any stay of life. I want to work with clients to help support them to talk about their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
I have experience with CBT and DBT. I am here to support folks in finding coping skills that can help in the current situation as well as in the future.
