Our story

Putting the past
in the
rearview.

Rearview Counseling was built on the belief that understanding where you've been is what empowers you to choose where you're going.

“True healing begins with self-discovery, and the courage to look honestly at your own story.”

Licensed Therapist & Founder

Colleen T. Bergren, LCMHC

Colleen founded Rearview Counseling on a conviction she's carried throughout her career: that healing begins with self-discovery. Her journey in the mental health field spans over 15 years, beginning with direct care, crisis work, and community-based roles that shaped the clinician she is today. For the past 10 years she has practiced as a fully licensed independent clinician, earning her credentials as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and certifications as a Mindfulness-Informed, Grief-Informed, and Trauma-Informed Professional along the way.

Her background spans clinical and community-based settings, including crisis intervention, long-term therapeutic support, and work with individuals and families navigating a wide range of challenges. That breadth of experience means she can meet clients where they are, without judgment and with real insight.

Colleen's approach is collaborative and grounded. She helps clients explore their own stories, develop meaningful coping strategies, and gain clarity about the road ahead. The goal is never to dwell on the past, but to understand it well enough to stop letting it drive.
