Dr. Samuel Lim

I am a board-certified psychiatrist in private practice in New York and Oregon. I offer an integrative approach to understanding your inner experiences, current difficulties, life history, cultural heritage, and relationships. Before private practice I spent 5 years as Physician-in-Charge of the Northwell Behavioral Health Crisis Center, an academic walk-in clinic in NYC, where I developed my interests in first encounters with mental health, relational issues, psychosis, and trauma-informed care.

I work collaboratively with my clients and aim to have generative and expansive conversations that promote curiosity, understanding, and ultimately change that feels positive to them. If you are considering psychiatric medications, my approach is to first understand you and your situation holistically, as well as any concerns you might have, before recommending any specific medication. Please note that as my practice is fully virtual, I do not prescribe controlled substances.

Therapy is a relational experience. I try to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, is socioculturally attuned, and sensitive to the past traumas and experiences of each person, couple, or family that I work with. My goal is for clients to feel understood and more curious about their own inner lives and relationships.
