Nina Dismukes

I am currently working on my Masters Degree at Marquette University! I am studying clinical mental health and I am very passionate about the field of psychology and working with people. I am currently completing my internship at Rogers Behavioral Health and I work with adolescents that struggle with dual diagnosis - suffering from both substance abuse and mental health disorders. I interact with the patients on the unit and lead therapeutic groups! This Fall, I will be finishing up my last year and I am looking forward to applying to PhD. programs across Mid-Western States. I would like to become a licensed Psychologist and be able to provide services to children and adolescents who identify in the African American population. I am thriving to become as educated as I can be to better serve this community of people whom I can identify with. I would like to be a person that helps break the stigma and barriers that are associated with mental illness and substance abuse.I am excited to see what the future holds for me and what opportunities open up for me.
