Colleen Prendergast , LPC

Colleen Prendergast is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with 18 years of experience supporting adults across the lifespan, from young adults to seniors. She works with people facing a wide range of emotional, psychological, and behavioral concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, separation and divorce, family conflict, grief and loss, trauma, stress management, and social isolation.

Her approach to therapy is integrative and tailored to each person's needs rather than relying on a single method. She draws on person-centered and strength-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, family systems and emotionally focused strategies, mindfulness practices, and creative therapies. In addition to these methods, she has training in grief counseling, expressive therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and therapy-based yoga interventions.

Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is central to her practice. She emphasizes warmth, positive regard, and acceptance while offering a nonjudgmental space where individuals can explore concerns and learn practical skills to reduce distress and improve well-being. Colleen describes her work as holistic, attending to body, mind, and spirit, and she aims to help clients find balance and greater resilience.

Clients have described her as energetic, genuine, creative, empathetic, and present. She welcomes conversations with prospective clients who are ready to seek support and explore change.
