She has extensive experience working with children and adolescents with learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety, and depression.  Dr. Bishop specializes in child-centered therapeutic strategies for children ages 6 through 12 and also provides therapy to adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating depression, anxiety, and self-esteem challenges. 

Dr. Bishop is passionate about working with children, adolescents, and their families from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds. She has learned the importance of being culturally competent when working with children and teens of color while also seeking to understand the influence of their environment on their life experiences. She seeks to understand children and their families by broadening her own exposure to others and by approaching her work with intellectual curiosity about the people she serves and their worldview. Her goal is to empower and advocate for youth while building upon their strengths. Dr. Bishop uses evidence-based therapeutic strategies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a Person-Centered and Strengths Based approach that focuses on empathy, active listening, and wellness. She also provides parenting psychoeducation to help the whole family achieve stability and wellness. Outside of the therapy room, she enjoys traveling, listening to music, and decorating her home.
