Mrs. Linda Van Valkenburg-Bishop

My extensive experience in the educational field as a teacher of special education/regular ed/gifted ed, and as a school counselor, has been so beneficial in my private practice work with children/families. I am a certified outpatient therapist for Laureate Hospital, and I'm on many insurance provider panels. I am in frequent contact with primary care doctors/psychiatrists, so if medication management is necessary, there can be smooth continuity of care between doctor and myself. My office is easily accessed off the BA Expressway at 15th Street between Lewis and Delaware in a cozy red brick house.

I use various treatment modalities, including: cognitive behavioral, life coaching, conflict resolution; and reconciliation therapy for parents/children of divorce.The reconciliation work necessitates that I work closely with attorneys, as most of these referrals are court ordered. The best interest of the child is always my top priority!

I enjoy working with clients of all ages concerning issues across the life span. I begin working with children at the age of two, and use a family systems approach to family/marital therapy. My clients present as individuals, couples, families, blended families and multi generational families.
