Ed Wimberly, Ph.D. began his professional career in private practice 30 years ago. He earned his undergraduate degree in 1968 from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California, and a doctorate degree in 1980 from United States International University in San Diego, California.

Ed has served on various boards of non-profit organizations, including the Santa Barbara YMCA, Shelter Services for Women, Sports Outreach, and Kid's Cancer Network. He has also served on the Alumni Association of his undergraduate alma mater.

He has published articles in various magazines and newspapers, including The Gilroy Gazette, Kid's Vermont News, Melbourne's Child, Mom's and Dad's Florida Magazine, Parent's Line in Maryland, Parent's News in Illinois, Santa Barbara Family Life in Santa Barbara, Sydney's Child, and Ventura County Parent Magazine in Ventura, California. In addition to working with married couples, he also treats individuals and conducts groups and marriage seminars.

Ed believes that addressing child-rearing issues and difficulties is usually best accomplished by working more with parents than with children. His reasoning is that, as parents deal more effectively with their issues, what likely follows is a new, improved, and usually more successful approach to raising their kids. It is his belief that "kids are not usually 'the problem' but rather the symptom of something in the parent's efforts that needs fine tuning. Fine tune and adjust the parenting and you will get the desired results in the behavior and growth of your kids."
