ABOUT TEACHER
Allison Kincaid, Mindy VanderLinden
Allison Kincaid
Bachelor of Fine Arts
Bachelor of Science
Master’s in Clinical Mental Health
Allison is a graduate of Colonial Heights High School and went on to pursue her love of art by attending John Tyler Community College and then VCU. She worked as an interior designer for many years and later became an art teacher at Richmond Christian School. During her career as a designer, she had the privilege of being on the design team for the renovation of the Richmond Capitol. Feeling led in a different direction, Allison became involved in the homeschool community where all three of her children, Jordan, Jonathan, and Landon graduated. She has been teaching elementary and middle school art at a local homeschool co-op for many years. Approximately eight years ago, Allison began working part time with those battling addictions. It was through the merging of her love of teaching and her desire to help others that led her down another path. She began working at a substance abuse recovery facility in expressive art therapy helping those in recovery express through art what they cannot express in words. This led her back to school where she obtained her BS in both Art and Addiction studies at Liberty University graduating Summa Cum Laude in 2019. She graduated from Liberty University with honors with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
