Meet Dr. Shilo Shaw Tippett (Wasco & Tlingit), a Clinical Psychologist and Assistant Professor at OHSU. Having white and Indigenous heritage, Shilo once struggled with identity—feeling like she lived in two worlds.

Now, she brings that lived experience into her healing work, bridging both worlds and decolonizing the field of behavioral health.

Inspired by community leaders and her own family’s deep ties to Warm Springs, Dr. Tippett reminds us that just like the salmon, we can always find our way home.

🎥 Watch her full story and hear how she’s helping others find strength in their healing journeys.
