Dr. Tanya White

For the past twenty years, Dr. Tanya White has worked one-on-one with individuals and also facilitated healing workshops designed to aid participants in healing their own psychological, emotional, and spiritual wounding resulting from varying forms of childhood trauma.I was born and raised in S.E Washington, DC. Unfortunately, I was not born into an ideal family or environment. My early childhood was riddled with severe physical & sexual abuse which led to my being placed in foster care at an early age. Subsequently, at the age of 8 I also suffered the traumatic loss of my mother to suicide.Throughout my childhood and as a young adult, Spirit has been a constant source of comfort & support for me. The trauma I endured as a child catalyzed a deep well of empathy and compassion within my heart for the suffering and struggles of others and started me on my own spiritual journey, which ultimately led me to a path of healer-ship.I am a graduate of Howard University, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Temple University for a Master of Social Work, and my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Capella University. I have studied with various healers from around the world, including India, Peru, and Asutralia. I bring a diverse range of academic and healing experiences to the retreats I offer.
