Jill Osborne holds a Specialist in Education in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA (2007). She specializes in play therapy, traumatology, and child and adolescent therapy. She is currently working providing in home counseling to families and children for Pathways Transition Programs, located in Decatur, GA. During her graduate studies she interned with a domestic violence agency for two years, and provided counseling for women and children whom were survivors of domestic violence. There she found her niche as she began using play therapy, and leading a support group for child survivors of domestic violence.

She became interested in writing for children during her internship where she often read children’s books to her clients. “Sam Feels Better Now: An Interactive Story for Children” is her first children’s writing project. It began as a project for a Traumatology class taken during her graduate studies.

Her career goals include pursuing a career in play therapy with young children, a license in professional counseling in the state of Georgia, becoming a Registered Play Therapist, and writing children’s books.
