More than 250 graduates from the Southern California and Online campuses of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, received degrees at the June 21 Commencement ceremony.
“This is a thrilling time for us all,” said TCSPP SoCal Dean Justin Cassity, Ed.D. “It’s that time of year in which the students see the years of hard work and sacrifice come to fruition, and we can take pride in knowing that we played a part in preparing more professionals who will fill the gaps in mental and behavioral health services, and in doing so, positively impact the community.”
Joani Wafer, co-founder of Kids Korps, a nonprofit youth volunteer organization that engages adolescents and college students in community service, received the honorary degree, while Kenneth Skale, Psy.D. was named the distinguished alum. The 2015 graduate has extensive experience in integrative care and is the president-elect of the Los Angeles County Psychological Association.
The graduating class heard from fellow graduate Rossana Sida, Psy.D. who is a practicing sex and relationship therapist in West Los Angeles. Passionate about mental health, she began her journey in the mental health field as a sexual assault crisis volunteer and received her master’s degree in marriage and family therapy while training to become a certified sex and relationship therapist.
