Priscilla Shim(She/Her/Hers)

Priscilla Shim is a licensed clinical psychologist in both Oregon and Massachusetts, and currently has her own private practice serving adult individuals and couples. Prior to beginning her private practice, she completed a two year internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the Albert & Jessie Danielsen Institute in Boston, MA focusing on relational, spiritual, and trauma-focused therapy with individuals, couples, and groups as well as psychological evaluations/assessments.

Priscilla draws predominantly from the relational psychodynamic, attachment, family systems/differentiation, and existential theories intersecting with social justice and trauma-focused perspectives. She also holds great interest in working with marginalized communities and diverse identities, particularly during this tumultuous time of sociopolitical unrest and oppression. Other areas of interest include but are not limited to relationship issues, systems, family/intergenerational dynamics, grief, trauma, developmental life transitions, vocational stress, immigration/acculturation, and emotional dysregulation.

Priscilla's clinical experience ranges from working with individuals, couples, and groups across the lifespan, genders, sexualities, race/ethnicities, socioeconomic status, and religious/spiritual backgrounds in outpatient, inpatient, community mental health, primary care, and emergency medical settings. She has worked with a broad range of psychological presentations, including trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, relational/interpersonal distress, attachment-related issues, oppression and marginalization, identity issues, and various acute psychiatric diagnoses.
