Bio

Mary-Therese B. Dombeck has more than 40 years of experience serving in clinical, educational, administrative, and leadership roles. Dombeck joined the School of Nursing faculty in 1979 as senior associate professor in nursing and served in various capacities throughout her career. Most notably, for the last 17 years, she has served as professor teaching a variety of courses on cultural diversity, religious and spiritual issues in health care, and group and family psychotherapy.

In 2014, Dombeck formed a spirituality subcommittee within the Council for Diversity and Inclusion focused on recognizing how spiritual, religious, and moral beliefs relate to perception of health, illness, healing, suffering, and dying. Additionally, Dombeck has served as associate counselor and nursing consultant at the Samaritan Pastoral Counseling Center, and mental health counselor at the Pastoral Counseling and Family Therapy Group, and more recently, at Crossbridge Wellness Associates. She has presented both nationally and internationally on the study of dreams, gender identity in nursing, and religious and spiritual needs in health care.

Dombeck earned a bachelor of arts in philosophy from American University, a master of arts in religious studies and theology from Colgate Rochester Divinity School, and a master of science in psychiatric and adult mental health nursing from the UR School of Nursing. She received her doctorate of ministry in pastoral ministry to families from Colgate Rochester Divinity School and her PhD in anthropology from the University of Rochester. Her academic work has been featured in more than 30 publications.

Dombeck is a member of several professional organizations including the New York State Nurses Association, American Anthropological Association, Society for Psychological Anthropology, and Association for the Study of Dreams. Throughout her career, she has received numerous awards including the Culture Diversity Advancement Award from SON and Mentor Award from Sigma Theta Tau Region 5.
