PRISCA KIM
LICENSED SOCIAL WORKER ASSOCIATE INDEPENDENT CLINICAL
I hold a license in the state of Washington as a Licensed Social Worker Associate Independent Clinical (LSWAIC). I obtained a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Columbia University School of Social Work, which I completed in 2009. With 16+ years experience in the social work field, I have had the privilege of working with diverse individuals and communities. I bring empathy, cultural awareness, and a commitment to understanding each person's unique journey. In addition to my clinical work, I am also an actor and teaching artist with an educational theater company that uses live performance to bring history to life, fostering empathy and civic engagement through the power of lived narrative.
Welcome
Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous choice. Often what brings people to therapy is a quiet inner knowing that something needs attention.
My work begins right where you are.
Together, we slow down enough to hear that voice more clearly and strengthen your confidence to move forward in ways that feel more aligned and authentic.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to connect and explore whether working together feels like the right fit. It’s a guided conversation (you don’t need to prepare anything!). I’ll ask a few questions to help us get oriented and you’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable. We’ll also briefly review my approach, logistics, and next steps if you’d like to move forward.

My Therapeutic Approach
I begin by prioritizing a strong therapeutic relationship, moving at a pace that is steady, collaborative, and grounded. Techniques matter, but research shows that the strength of the therapeutic alliance is central to positive therapy outcomes. Many people begin to feel a sense of fit within the first few sessions. A therapeutic relationship develops gradually through consistency, honesty, and shared work.
Drawing from various approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems, we work together to better understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. I specialize primarily in areas of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, relationships, spiritual trauma, and adoption-related issues.
