Linda Shields, MA

Linda Shields, MA

 As co-owner with Ray, of Reflection’s Counseling and Educational Services Ltd., Linda shares the vision of their private practice.

Linda has recently retired as an active provider for public education. However, this has allowed more time for her to support their growing practice as well as being available for consultation services. Linda’s background and passion for preschool education has continued to be evident to those who “stay in touch” with her. Her educational training as a Speech Pathologist from Mankato State University in Mankato, Minnesota and her Early Childhood Specialist training from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona have served her well. Her myriad of experiences in the field of education can be drawn upon for advice and support.

 

Parent Consultation appointments are available upon request.
