Meet Dacia Slater
As a mental health professional I believe strongly in person centered work. I specialize
in doing healing work that is centered on the individual. I am a new clinician but have
over two years experience working with kids and families, the expressive arts, and
diverse populations.
I hold a bachelor's degree in Social work and Theatre Performance with a minor in
Psychology from the University of Missouri, and a Masters degree in Social Work from
the University of Chicago. I am currently waiting to receive my license from the state of
Illinois. I currently also work at SkyArt as the Project Impact Coordinator. SkyArt
provides a strength-based approach to mental health services for youth, providing
support for their families and collaborating with community partner organizations or
school’s to provide accessible art therapy programs.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in expressive arts and play therapy work, and has
worked very well with my younger clients as well as adults. Most of my sessions consist
of storytelling, playing, and creating art. We then use these tools to understand and
heal.
I strive to create a safe and brave space for my clients. Having a client centered and
trauma informed approach to my work allows for young people to feel safe enough and
confident enough to open up.
I enjoy using different therapeutic modalities to find what works best for you as the
client.Taking a look at all of the factors of an individual's life creates a very holistic
healing experience.
