About Me
My name is Preston Herdt, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the San Diego, CA. area. I grew up in a small town where I gained experience working in Law Enforcement where the emphasis was on genuine relationships with others, being dedicated to help others, and to show a high level of respect for everyone. I received my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice from California Baptist University and my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. I am a father and a husband and we enjoy quality time together listening to music, going to church, watching movies , and playing games together. 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. Whether you’re looking for individual, couples, or family therapy, you can count on me to help you work towards a healthier and more fulfilling lifestyle.
