Cassandra Page, Psy.D.

Bio

Since joining the School of Psychology & Counseling faculty in 2014, Dr. Cassandra Page has been fortunate to journey alongside the Psy.D. graduate student population whilst ensuring that culturally diverse students succeed in their endeavors. Her various roles have enabled her to provide perspectives in understanding the role of the offender while also being viewed as the offense, value differences so unique stories, perspectives, and voices can be heard and upheld, all while challenging students to see the light in the midst of darkness.

Page’s passion for integrating faith, multicultural competence and psychology training developed while completing undergraduate studies at Pepperdine University and was further fueled during graduate training at Rosemead School of Psychology. Her unwavering charge to return to a Christian graduate school community that values integrating faith into practice while also emphasizing mentorship of minoritized students in the clinical psychology field was fulfilled with her appointment at Regent.

Page’s love of mentorship is continually demonstrated through her roles as niche mentor for students of color, faculty advisor to the Association of Black Psychologists’ Student Circle, and founder of the Academy of Minority Identity Development and Advocacy (AMIDA) research team.

Page enjoys reminding students that, regardless of injustices they experience or the diverse identities they hold, the calling placed on their lives steadfastly remains. Nourishing her charge to intentionally mentor and train students in a faith community, regardless of diverse identities held, has been a true treasure and great reward.
