About Courtney Slater, LCSW

Meet Courtney

Hi! Do you often find yourself overwhelmed by your emotions, wondering “why did I do that?” after an impulsive action or harmful behavior? If managing your emotions and building a fulfilling life feels like a constant struggle, I’m here to help. I specialize in working with individuals who are ready to tackle these challenging patterns in a non-judgmental, structured, and even fun environment.

I do my best work with adults and teens who experience significant emotional and behavioral dysregulation. Together, we will explore the functions of your behaviors and replace harmful actions with effective skills, helping you manage emotions more effectively.

My unique and flexible work history has equipped me with diverse skills to support a variety of clients. From providing therapy in typical office settings to offering support in homeless camps and de-escalating high-stress situations, I bring a versatile approach to therapy. I am dedicated to helping you decrease distress and build a life worth living.

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and have been providing comprehensive DBT for several years. I am currently working towards becoming Formally DBT Certified with the DBT-LBC and have been formally trained in both DBT and EMDR.

When I’m not working with clients, you can find me playing and watching hockey, paddleboarding, attending concerts, and spending time with my three dogs. I also strive to accumulate positive experiences and live a life that allows me to implement DBT skills personally.

Connect with me today to start your journey toward managing emotions and building a fulfilling life.
