OUR STORY

I am Anne Slater, a social worker, therapist, and group facilitator. I love that I get to collaborate with people to build relationships that are equitable and provide the sense of belonging all humans need. I received my master’s degree from Columbia University’s School of Social Work and completed four years of training in couple and family therapy at The Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York City, one of the premier institutions for family therapy in the United States. My experience ranges from working with adjudicated youth in Brooklyn’s under-served communities to directing clinical services for nonprofits to starting my own therapy practice, first in Brooklyn and now in Houston. Prior to finding my life’s work as a therapist, I worked in public relations and publishing. And in addition to my therapist self I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend.

I hold a master’s degree from Harvard, a bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University, and am a Certified Health and Well-being Coach with a focus in Lifestyle Medicine. I have two teenage boys and live in Houston, Texas with my partner (and high-school sweetheart).
