About Clearing the Path Therapy

Breaking the Cycle.
Clearing the Path.

At Clearing The Path Therapy, LLC, we help those affected by trauma break free from cycles of stress and uncertainty.

Our focus is on providing practical, effective tools to help you regain control, build confidence, and set clear boundaries that improve your relationships and overall well-being. Using proven methods like EMDR and EFT therapy, we guide you through processing past trauma and help you move forward with a clearer, stronger mindset. No fluff, just real results.

“I used to be dismissive about therapy, thinking it wasn’t for me—until I discovered how powerful it could be.”

-Preston Herdt, Founder
Clearing the Path Therapy

What Preston once thought would be a simple check-the-box experience turned into a transformative journey that left him energized and seeing therapy in a whole new light. That’s what inspired him to become a therapist, and ultimately create Clearing the Path Therapy. Now, his team of therapists help others break free from the cycle of trauma, set stronger boundaries, and build healthier relationships.

A Collaborative Approach to Therapy

We believe in a collaborative and client-centered approach to therapy, treating everyone who walks through my door as an individual. We take the time to hear you out to understand your unique situation and experiences and ensure the help we offer makes a difference in your life. Through working with our Idaho therapists, you’ll build confidence and safety within yourself, using that confidence to build a fulfilling life and lasting, healthy relationships. We take our work seriously, continuing to learn as therapists and honing our skills to better help others.

Our goal is to create a therapy space where you can feel free to open up, without judgment or blame. Through working with any of our therapists, our aim is to give you a sense of clarity and control, like the weight you’ve been carrying is finally lifted. You’ll be invited to explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insight on who you are and how you want to show up in the world, and learn new communication and coping strategies. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or life transitions, we can help you navigate your path forward.
