In the midst of national political attention and legal altercations over federal enforcement, what’s clear is this: Minneapolis is not silent. Our community continues to show up for each other, calling for accountability, advocating for change, and supporting neighbors affected by fear and uncertainty.

Compassion and community matter. Whether through peaceful participation in events, offering support to those in need, or engaging in dialogue with local leaders, each Minnesota voice contributes to shaping the future of our shared home.

We want our community to know you are not alone. At times like these, compassion, connection, and access to support matter more than ever. We stand in unity with our community, committed to compassion, dignity, and emotional well-being for all.

Minneapolis is our city, and we stand with her.
While we don’t have words to describe the inexplicable, we will be present.
While we watch as some try to excuse the inexcusable, we will hold truth.
While we witness violence being normalized, we uplift the true strength of connection.
And, while we may feel exhausted, we will know persistence.

We continue to stand with all members of our community as we encounter pain, fear, tragedy, and terror. We believe in the courage it takes to help the most vulnerable. No one needs to carry this alone.

Great relationships require more than just love; they require curiosity.

It is easy to get into a "business partnership" rhythm with your significant other: managing schedules, bills, and household logistics. But when was the last time you checked in on the emotional logistics of your partnership?

We often wear hyper-independence like armor, but carrying the world alone doesn't make you a superhero; it leaves you exhausted and isolated.

Therapy offers a safe space to finally put that weight down. We help you unlearn the "go it alone" mindset and discover that true resilience means knowing when to share the load.

Between the pressure to perform at school, the unwritten rules of social dynamics, and the constant noise of the digital world, it makes total sense if your teen feels constantly overwhelmed.

Adolescent Therapy isn't about "fixing" them, because they aren't broken. It’s about giving them a space that is 100% theirs to vent, question, develop tools to grow and cope, and just BE without expectations.

Positive thinking often ignores reality. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy analyzes reality. This means that CBT is not about Positive Thinking, but rather about Realistic Thinking.

Think about it this way: if your house is on fire, you can go into:
• Panic Thinking: "I am going to die."
• Denial: "This is fine! It's nice and warm."
• CBT-driven mindset: "My house is on fire. This is dangerous. I need to get out immediately."

During our sessions, we would not just pretend the fire isn't there; we would focus on developing the clarity to grab the extinguisher.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Theory and incorporates aspects of Psychodynamic and Person-Centered theories. Foundational in my work with clients is the exploration of the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. As my clients develop an increased under...

When emotions are "tangled" and undefined, they feel overwhelming because your brain remains in a high-alert, reactive state.

When you work with a therapist to put specific names to vague feelings (aka Affect Labeling), you actually down-regulate your emotional reactivity. You are shifting your brain from "panic mode" into "problem-solving mode."

We have a team of specialists ready to help you untangle your feelings → slatetherapy.com/team

When we look at the year ahead through a therapeutic lens, the things we get most excited about aren't usually the big, shiny milestones. They are the quiet, internal shifts that change how we experience our daily lives.

It’s the first time you enforce a boundary without apologizing. It’s the moment you catch a negative thought pattern and choose a different route. It’s the relief of finally trusting your own gut.

2026 isn't just about what you achieve—it's about who you become in the process.

Our philosophy is simple: sustainable growth beats stressful perfection every single time.

Here's our 3-point mental health re-set that fosters a healthier mindset:
✨ Forget the life-changing resolution. What's one tiny, easy habit you can stick to? (e.g., Five minutes of quiet time. One extra glass of water.)
✨ Embrace the mess. Life is messy, and that's where the good stuff happens! A pivot is not a failure, it's just a smarter route.
✨ Choose peace over productivity. Focus on intentions that nourish your mind and relationships, not just checking boxes.

This is your reminder to stop forcing yourself into "peak performance" mode 24/7 ⏰. You are not a machine; you are a complex, beautiful human being.

If you're feeling slow, exhausted, or not “productive,” that is a sign your mind and body are in a necessary season of rest. Downtime is not a failure; it's the fuel you need for your next stage of growth.
