Healing the Human Family

Dr. Rogene has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. She has a 35-year career as a psychotherapist helping others in their lifelong process of emotional, mental, and spiritual evolution; a journey she herself is on.
Dr. Rogene specializes in working with individuals recovering from childhood and adult trauma. Her training in Gestalt, Jungian and Process Work skill sets emphasize healing our inner child as each of us find a pathway for personal individuation. She specializes in teaching new communication skills, overcoming maladaptive behaviors and finding ways to lead a meaningful, fulfilling and authentic life.
Dr. Rogene obtained her:
- Bachelor’s Degree with Honors in Literature & the Social Sciences from Washington State University.
- Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, Summa cum Laude from Sonoma State University.
- Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Summa cum Laude, in 2010 from Pacifica Graduate Institute, located just outside Santa Barbara, California.

Dr. Rogene served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Somalia, East Africa. She taught school children both world history and how to speak English. During her two years of service in the Peace Corps, she was able to travel extensively in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Ethiopia. Absorbing the beauty of the people and the wildlife of East Africa was a breathtaking and life-changing experience.
In 2020, shortly before the murder of George Floyd, the Racial Justice Collaborative (RJC) was founded by Diane Wong, J.D., from Harvard Law School. Diane, with both Black and Chinese heritage, had been a fellow student of Process Work, founded by Dr. Arnold Mindell, for over two decades. Diane invited Nancy to become a founding member of the RJC.
With Diane as President, the Racial Justice Collaborative is a multi-racial organization that produces exemplary educational programming teaching the history of the racial divide in America, the history of anti-Black prejudice and the creation of whiteness as a racial category.
Active in the Civil Rights Movement in Chicago in 1966, and a Peace Corps Volunteer to East Africa, Dr. Rogene focused her doctoral studies on the history of race in America and ways to promote racial healing for the well-being of all. An avid student of cross-cultural studies, she wrote a compelling doctoral dissertation in 2008 entitled, Blinded by Whiteness: Racism as a Complex of European American Cultural Psyche.
