About Dr. Keisha

“Our mission at KCWPSYCH is to facilitate hope, healing, and evolution into your true self.”

Hello, I am Dr. Keisha C. White. I am the founder, director, and supervising Clinical and School Psychologist of KCW Psychological Services. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Rutgers University in New Jersey, double majoring in Dance and Psychology. I trained as a psychologist in New Jersey, New York City, and California. I obtained a Master of Educational Psychology at Montclair State University, School Psychology Professional Diploma from Fordham University, and my Doctorate in School Clinical Child Psychology at Pace University.

I completed an APA accredited internship at Pacific Clinics and Post-Doctoral Fellowship at both Harbor UCLA Medical Center and Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. I have also completed training at the UCLA Arts and Healing: Social Emotional Arts program. I have worked in hospital (inpatient and residential), college psychological services, outpatient clinics, as well as community, school, and home-based settings.

As an African American woman growing up in multicultural and ethnically diverse communities, I understand the interrelated impact of diverse cultures, individual differences, and environmental contexts on the development and worldviews of individuals. I recognize the importance yet challenges with having multifaceted identities (e.g., race, age, sexual identity, religion, socio-economic status, education, personal interests…etc) and remaining “true to self,” while engaging in mainstream culture.
