Leanne Prendergast
2024 USTR Alumn | MSW, PhD, University Of Houston

Leanne Prendergast is a dedicated advocate for mental health and social justice, and a graduate of the Fathers’ UpLift’s United States Therapist Recruitment Fellowship. Leanne’s inspiration to engage in this fellowship stemmed from her desire to deepen her clinical skills and gain exposure to therapeutic practices that emphasize the importance of accessibility, particularly for individuals within the BIPOC community. She sees the opportunity as a transformative platform not only to learn from experienced Black leaders in the therapy field but also to better serve diverse populations, including men and fathers, in her future practice.
