Dr. Kathleen Ayers, CA Psychologist 18954

Dr. Kathleen Ayers is a clinical psychologist with more than three decades of professional experience working with people facing chronic medical conditions, pain, sleep disturbances, and emotional challenges. She is licensed in California - CA Psychologist 18954 - which indicates her credential as a practicing psychologist in the state. Her work blends cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients manage symptoms, build coping skills, and clarify values that guide meaningful action.

She holds certification in CBT for insomnia and has pursued additional certifications related to nutrition and diet - though she is not a dietitian or nutritionist. These complementary interests inform her approach to conditions such as chronic pain, fatigue, and sleep problems, and she offers both individual and group formats. Her clinical areas include trauma and abuse, anxiety and panic, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and caregiver stress among others.

Recognizing that people with chronic medical issues are sometimes not believed about their symptoms, she strives to create a caring, accepting environment where concerns can be voiced and addressed. Her long experience has deepened her compassion and commitment to practical, evidence-based strategies. She has also developed an interest in assisting people who report traumatic responses after paranormal experiences.
