Dorothy Muirhead Demers, LPC, NCC has been a therapist at two university college counseling centers over the last four years. During this time she gained specialization in behavioral health, and drug and alcohol interventions, as well as worked with students with high acuity during their return to campus post-hospitalization. She also has experience working at two inpatient psychiatric hospitals on acute, mood disorder, medical detox, and geriatric units as a mental health counselor. The perspective from these work experiences has made her passionate about promoting the best practices throughout the hospitalization and post-hospitalization experience possible for students.
