Robert Herndon, LCSW, LMFT

I am a native of Memphis, Tennessee, and lived in North Carolina, Texas, and California before I settled down in San Marcos in 1982.  I received my B.A. degree from Memphis State University and my Master of Science of Social Work from the University of Texas in Austin.

I hold two licenses, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. 

I have practiced family therapy in rural western North Carolina and inpatient psychotherapy at the San Marcos Treatment Center.  I was asked to start and develop the outpatient program for the treatment center, which was called the Riverwood Professional Center, and served as its director for five years, supervising all its employees and programs, before starting my private practice in 1991.  While I was the outpatient director, I served on the Senior Management Team for the treatment center.  Drawing on the training and experience I received in that position, I have consulted to a number of local businesses on management and employee issues, and still enjoy doing that from time to time.

My current practice includes individual therapy for all ages; couples therapy; family therapy; infant mental health; and play therapy with children.  I am on a large number of managed care panels and employee assistance program lists, and I assist  EAPs in critical incident debriefings.

I am married and have 2 children, 19 and 15 years old. I enjoy reading, family activities, running, and refereeing youth soccer.
