Haley Osborn’s Therapist Disclosure Statement <<< (Clickable)
Hey there! I’m really glad you found your way here. My goal is to make this process feel as safe and comfortable as possible, and maybe even a little less scary as you learn to trust someone new. Therapy with me isn’t about me sitting across from you with a clipboard telling you what’s “wrong.” (Spoiler: I don’t think you’re broken.) I believe people are naturally creative, resilient, and capable of growth, and sometimes we just need a safe space to sort things out. So, whether you’re wrestling with anxiety, depression, relationship hiccups, parenting chaos, trauma, or the
general stress of existing in this wild world, I’m here to listen, laugh, and work through it with you.
My style is collaborative and humanistic; you know your life best, and I’m here to walk alongside you. I use a strengths-based approach, plus some tools from attachment theory, existential philosophy (aka: making meaning out of the messy parts of life), and somatic practices to help mind, body, and spirit connect. I am someone with lived experience and draw on other modalities like EFT, ACT and DBT. Sometimes sessions look like deep reflection, and sometimes they look like celebrating small wins, swapping memes, painting, doing yoga, or figuring out how to rewrite your story in a way that feels truer to you. I like to think of counseling as a bit of a detective duo – you bring the case (your life, your goals, your struggles, etc.) and I’ll help follow the clues. Together, we’ll uncover patterns, build resilience, and discover new ways to move forward—all while honoring your culture, values, and lived experiences. You show up as you are and we’ll figure the rest out together, no judgment.
I earned my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Counseling from Gonzaga University.
Originally from Nebraska, the PNW has stolen my heart. Outside the therapy room, you’ll probably find me outdoors, chasing around my toddler, dabbling in arts and crafts, binge- watching TV shows I swore I’d “only watch one episode of,” or attempting yoga while my cat or toddler tries to sit on the mat. Most importantly, I’m here to remind you that you don’t have to do this alone, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Q&A with Haley
1.) Some therapists are more comfortable addressing the immediate problem, while others want to focus on the deeper issue. Which are you?
My approach is to follow your lead. At times, I may ask if you’d like to explore deeper “root” work, or if you’d prefer to focus on what’s happening more on the surface right now. Some people feel ready to dive straight into the roots, while others prefer starting with the leaves above the surface and working their way down. Both are valid, and I honor the pace that feels right for you in therapy.
2.) Do you tend to lead the session, or follow my lead?
Typically, I like to follow the client’s lead, but I can be more or less directive as what’s best for you and your healing journey. If you’d like for our sessions to be more structured, we can make that happen.
3.) What are your strengths as a therapist?
I’m someone who’s naturally open and deeply curious about people’s stories. Working with teens is a real strength of mine. I’ve not only lived in group homes myself but later returned to provide care for others in that space. When it comes to couples, I bring a neutral and balanced perspective, always keeping in mind the unique dynamics between partners. Growing up with three brothers gave me insight into men’s experiences, while becoming a mom has fueled my passion for parenting and women’s issues.
4.) If you had one superpower, what would it be and why?
I would say teleportation. I can visit any place or person at any time!
5.) What makes you laugh?
The absurdity of life. Sarcasm. Goofiness.
6.) Who would you have dinner with, dead or alive?
At this moment, I would like to have dinner with Ru Paul, Coco Chanel, or Leonardo da Vinci.
