Jo Osborne (they/them) is a graduate student at Thomas Jefferson University’s Community & Trauma Counseling program. Jo graduated with a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Delaware, where they worked in a clinical therapy lab studying exposure-based treatments for adults with chronic depression (EBCT) and children who had experienced trauma (TF-CBT).

Therapeutic Approach
Jo meets people with genuine empathy, openness, and curiosity. They are passionate about creating a safe, empowering space for deep self-exploration, grounded in trust and collaboration. Their clinical orientation is trauma-informed, person-centered, and non-pathologizing. Jo seeks to support each client’s unique style of processing and expression throughout the healing journey. Jo is interested in somatic tools, mindfulness, holistic mind-body practices, polyvagal theory, DBT skills, and expressive arts. They are excited to grow their therapeutic toolbox through future training in EMDR and IFS.
As a queer and non-binary person, Jo is deeply committed to providing affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients. They hold particular interest in gender expansiveness, identity exploration, chosen family systems, transfeminism, and the ways queer theory can enrich mental health work.
Jo recognizes that the wounds we carry, and our journeys of healing, are shaped by our cultural experiences and the systems around us. They acknowledge the impact that structures of power and oppression have on mental and emotional well-being, and believe that individual, intergenerational, and collective liberation are all intertwined.
