Getting to know Monica Prendergast

Have you been carrying burdens that feel too heavy to manage on your own? Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, family challenges, or the lasting impact of abuse or domestic violence, you deserve a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Reaching out for help can be difficult, but it can also be the first step toward meaningful change. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York, I work with adults across all stages of life who are facing emotional challenges, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, helping clients build insight, develop healthy coping strategies, and move toward greater emotional well-being. For those who find strength in their faith, spirituality, or religious beliefs, I can thoughtfully incorporate those values into the counseling process. I believe healing happens when people feel safe enough to be themselves and supported enough to grow. My goal is to provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to help you find clarity, resilience, and hope for the future. You don't have to face life's challenges alone.
