Preston Lavin

Accepting Clients

Hi there! I'm Preston, an AMFT in San Diego, offering evidence-based in-person and online therapy in California.

Associate Marriage & Family Therapist in san diego, CA
Supervised by MIRIAM TORRES BRINKMANN

About My Clients

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, including panic attacks, rumination, OCD, generalized anxiety, avoidant behaviors, and social anxiety. Anxiety often impacts various areas of life—work, school, and relationships—leaving you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, depressed, or even angry. Together, we can work toward reducing anxiety and helping you reclaim control

My Background and Approach

I use a blend of evidence-based approaches, including Mindful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, to empower clients in forming new neural connections that support growth and resilience. While anxiety is a natural and essential part of human evolution, our response to the fight, flight, or freeze mechanism greatly influences how we feel in the moment. Together, we can explore these responses and develop healthier ways to navigate them.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m a passionate animal lover and proud pet parent to three rescued dogs who bring endless joy and meaning to my life. Traveling and exploring new places energize me—my husband and I make it a goal to visit a new country every year. I’m also a yoga enthusiast and practice mindfulness daily, which helps me stay grounded and balanced. Whether I’m in the desert, rainforest, or my own backyard, I feel my best when I connect with nature and embrace its calming beauty.
