Who I Am

Kimberly Wulfert photoWelcome, I am Dr. Kimberly Wulfert, a California licensed clinical psychologist since 1989,  in private practice in southern Cal via encrypted video, not Zoom. I see clients virtually throughout the state. I am also trained in in and provide Life Coaching, and Journal Coaching, nationally and in Canada.

I bring you 35+ years of experience helping clients. My approach is mindfulness-based and brain change psychotherapy. I believe our mind and body are completely intertwined, one affecting the other. I take an integrated approach to reach emotional wellness by focusing on your whole self, your body, mind, food, health, environment, your whole story and your whole potential. I help adults who live in California and can coach nationally by phone.

If this sounds like what you are looking for, arrange a 10-minute no-cost phone meeting with me to find out if my mindfulness-based and integrated approach will help you.

I teach classes and workshops I’ve developed with a holistic health + mindful perspective, such as Meditation for Mind Body Health, Mindful Living, Meditate on Paper, Mindful Eating to Lose Weight, Chakras, and journaling workshops.

I’m licensed by the California Board of Psychology (License # PSY 11065)  to practice as a Clinical Psychologist to residents of California. My BS, MA, and PhD are all in psychology. I trained in clinical psychology for my Masters at Pepperdine University (1976-79) and my doctorate at William Lyon University (1983-86). I received my California license to practice clinical psychology in March 1989.

For many of those years, I specialized in pre- and perinatal psychology with individuals, couples, and infants. I led groups at St. John’s and Community Memorial Hospitals for women and couples experiencing pregnancy, childbirth, infertility, and loss. Post Doc, I trained in diversified settings including psychiatric hospitals and private practice, with all types of problems and diagnoses. I specialized in psychometric test batteries for a long period of time, but no longer do this.  I provided therapy to groups, couples, families, and individuals from infant to elders. I’ve developed and led a variety of groups, workshops, and classes in a few select areas.

Today, I work with individuals over 20 years old.

Additionally, I am a meditation practitioner and teacher. I’ve taught various methods of meditation for Mind-Body Health at Ojai Park & Rec, Ventura Community Adult Ed at Ventura College, City of Ventura Community Ed,  and the Holistic Healing Center in Ventura.

I also taught mindfulness classes for losing weight, relief from chronic pain, and mindful solutions for those working from home and entrepreneurs, through a physician’s office, the City of Ojai, and the City of Ventura. I discontinued the workshops through the city due to the pandemic.

I am a professional member of the California Psychological Association. Formerly I served three years as Program Chair for the Ventura County Psychology Association, a chapter of the California Psychological Association, and I was on the Advisory board of New Life for women who suffered domestic abuse and are needing help as they start their new life.

I was on the Advisory Board for Ribbons of Life Ventura, Breast Cancer Awareness, a wonderful non-profit org. that serves mostly local women and their families in any stage of breast cancer, recovery, and reconstruction. I was awarded the Certificate of Appreciation for two years for my volunteer contributions including leading some meetings when needed and teaching workshops.

For seven years I was a licensed coach for HeartMath, I teach and help people to reduce stress, build resilience, and calm their nervous system using a heart-based approach and biofeedback technology. I let this license expire in 2017 as I find mindfulness techniques to be powerful and easy to learn.
