Dana Elmendorf, ATR-BC, LPC is the Program Director of the Seton Hill Graduate Art Therapy Program. 在全职加入澳门金沙博彩娱乐平台学院之前, she provided art therapy and counseling services in a variety of settings which included homeless and domestic violence shelters, 老年部分项目, community mental health centers for adults managing mental illness and inpatient psychiatric facilities focusing on behavioral health. This variety of professional experience brings a practical perspective to teaching from the front lines of mental health care. In addition to experience in clinical mental health work she continues to facilitate arts experiences within community-based settings which have included work with individuals experiencing homelessness and also individuals with Intellectual Disabilities. ----- 在她的职业生涯中, Dana has always been eager to explore the world around her and has lived and worked overseas in Thailand while traveling extensively throughout South East Asia and Europe. 这些经历的故事被编织到教学中, and Dana encourages students to think from diverse and multiple points of view while consistently seeking to disrupt assumptions and stereotypes of others. 她毕生学习的信条是, " The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, 而是有了一双新的眼睛.——马塞尔·普鲁斯特
