Colleen Prendergast, LPC

Colleen Prendergast is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience supporting people across the adult lifespan. She works with clients from young adulthood through the senior years who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma, stress management, and social isolation. Her practice also addresses addictions, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and a range of mood and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

Colleen uses an integrative, eclectic approach that is tailored to each person rather than relying on a single method. Her work commonly draws on client-centered principles, positive strength-based strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, family systems perspectives, emotionally focused methods, mindfulness practices, and creative therapies. She has additional training in grief counseling, expressive therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and therapy-based yoga interventions. As an LPC - a licensed clinician trained to provide assessment and counseling - she combines practical skills with a holistic focus on body, mind, and spirit.

She seeks to build a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and acceptance, aiming to create a nonjudgmental space for exploration and skill development. Colleen values collaboration and tailors interventions to each person s goals and circumstances. People who have worked with her have described her as energetic, genuine, creative, empathetic, and present. She acknowledges the courage involved in asking for help and affirms that taking that first step can be an important part of change.
