Dr. Osborn Expands Clinical Psychology Practice Across West Coast

Dr. Osborn, an integrative clinical psychologist, is expanding her practice across the West Coast to provide continuous care to students and clients across Oregon, California, and Washington.

The expansion follows a successful private practice tenure in Santa Barbara, California, lasting from 2009 to 2021, where Dr. Osborn specialized in treating clients aged 18 to 35 managing university life, identity formation, and early career entry. During that period, she operated as a preferred provider for the University of California at Santa Barbara, drawing 70 percent of her caseload from direct referrals through the student counseling center.

According to portlandmh.com, those student referrals focused on personality development, attachment styles, childhood and adult trauma, anxiety, and depression. The remaining 30 percent of her practice came via direct collaborations and referrals from community physicians.

Dr. Osborn earned her Master’s and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. She also holds Bachelor of Science degrees in Psychology and Business Administration from CSU Sacramento, along with a Film Foundation Certificate from the Vancouver Film School, where she directed a documentary about Canadian violinist Andrew Dawes.

Her clinical work spans brief and long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy with adults, couples, and groups since 2005, backed by an accumulation of over 20,000 client hours. Her holistic treatment model combines a psychodynamic core with cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, Gottman, acceptance and commitment therapy, solution-focused practices, family systems modalities, and fMRI neurological research on empathy and personality.

Dr. Osborn is currently authoring a major evolutionary personality theory titled On the Origin of Homo sapiens Personality, portlandmh.com noted. The upcoming book examines how inherited personality structures, early developmental experiences from birth to puberty, and parental neurotypes shape empathy and personality through the structural lenses of the sense of self and the sense of other.

Following her tenure in Santa Barbara, California, Dr. Osborn relocated to Oregon to pursue a more balanced, nature-centered lifestyle. She is currently extending her West Coast footprint to provide continuous care to students and clients across Oregon, California, and Washington.
