Getting to know Preston Herdt

My name is Preston Herdt, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University. My approach is client-centered, and I tailor my therapeutic techniques to best fit the needs of each client. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients to explore their thoughts and emotions and work toward their personal goals. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I utilize EMDR and Emotionally Focused Therapy to support my clients in achieving their goals. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and tailored to your unique needs. You can count on me to help as we work toward a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, I am here to help you navigate life's challenges and stresses. My communication style is compassionate and client-centered, shaped by my upbringing in a small town and my experience working in law enforcement. In that role, I learned the importance of genuine relationships, dedication to helping others, and showing a high level of respect for everyone. My journey to mental healthcare began with a desire to make a difference in people's lives. Starting in law enforcement, I witnessed the challenges faced by first responders but wanted to impact others in a more lasting way. When my wife and I prepared for marriage, she encouraged premarital therapy. Initially, I was resistant to sharing personal challenges with a stranger, as that was not part of my family's approach. One condition I had was that the therapist be male. Based on my experience working with that therapist during premarital therapy, I realized the value of this work and decided to pursue this path professionally.
