About me:
My name is Pennie Dismukes, and this is my second year as a licensed professional school counselor. I have been in education for several years as a teacher and Reading/Math Interventionist. I completed my Master of Arts in Teaching from Trevecca University in 2013 and have been at Station Camp Middle School ever since. As much as I love working with students, I felt that I could best serve them outside of the classroom as a school counselor, so I returned to school and completed my school counseling education through the University of TN at Martin in 2020. Prior to working in the field of education, I spent 11 years as a paralegal specializing in Employment Law at Dollar General Corporation. |
Mrs. Dismukes' personal counseling style:
My personal counseling style is an integration of person-centered, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and existential. I am very relational naturally in my personality and see each person as a unique and valuable member of society who has a purpose for the greater good. I believe that with so may distractions and busy schedules nowadays that people, especially students, are missing out on that vital aspect of direct human connection and communication. My goal is for individuals to feel more positive, empowered, and hopeful after leaving a conversation with me.
