About Allan
Allan Herem is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 23 years of clinical experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem.

Allan works with adults who want clearer communication and more stable connections. He offers a calm, respectful space to talk through hard feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and impulsivity. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings, not just talking about problems.
His style is direct but empathic. He listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different ways of relating. That may include learning new communication habits, setting boundaries, or managing uncomfortable emotions so daily life feels more manageable.
Allan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's goals. He aims to help clients build better relationships, recover from betrayals, and find more confidence in parenting and fatherhood roles when that is a concern.
Because he works from California, scheduling and fees vary by location and availability. Sessions are conducted in English. People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to his availability.
Approaches that guide online work
Allan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful interaction habits and teaching clearer communication skills so partners and family members can be understood rather than blamed. This method is useful for relationship problems, trust issues, and improving everyday conversations.Another frequent focus is working with attachment and abandonment wounds. This approach helps people notice how past hurts shape current reactions, learn ways to manage strong emotions, and practice new responses that reduce impulsivity and isolation. It often helps with caregiver stress, commitment worries, and feelings of emptiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Allan will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and life situation. He checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change so the plan stays practical and relevant.
