-A little bit about Miss Dingman...

I am very excited to be here for my third year at Divine Mercy Academy! I have a masters in professional counseling with a concentration in school counseling and a BA in psychology. I practice person/child centered therapy, where the therapist uses a non-authoritative approach and listens without judgement. This therapy allows the students to build confidence and build a stronger sense of identity. I believe that emotional development, like academic development, is essential. In my free time I love skiing, hiking, and spending time with my two dogs!

For students that are remote this year please email OR reach out on my google classroom to set up a meeting. I would be happy to see any student during school hours Monday-Thursday on google meet!
