About Me
Hello, my name is Mary Dew and I have been teaching at the College of DuPage since 2001 and Elmhurst University since 2013. I currently teach in both the Photography Department and in the Psychology Department, blending my passions for art and science while helping others. As a dedicated instructor, I enjoy creating an interactive educational environment that is creative, challenging, and promotes insightful thinking. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor with the state of Illinois in 2004, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in 2015. Since then, I have been working part-time in the counseling field at various prestigious hospitals in the Chicago area and am dedicated to providing quality care to my diverse patients and clients. In my limited free time, I enjoy family-time with my husband and three kids, volunteering, painting, welding, baking, and of course, making photographs.
