About Dr. Irvine
My name is Christina Irvine and I am honored that you are considering working with me, let me tell you a bit about myself. I am the owner and psychologist at Bridgetown Kids. I have dedicated my professional career to working with children. Before becoming a licensed psychologist, I worked in the field of early intervention, as a credentialed teacher, in a residential facility and as a behavioral specialist. I have been working with children for over 25 years and I have been a licensed psychologist since 2009.
Licensure
I am a licensed psychologist. That means I earned a doctoral degree in clinical psychology, which required completion of four years of full-time graduate study, completion of a dissertation and over 3,000 hours of supervised training. In addition, my degree included an emphasis in clinical child psychology. Psychologists in Oregon are required to complete both a national and state exam, and complete 40 continuing education credits every two years.
