Where Psyche Meets Spirit
Holistic Healing & Transformation
Guiding you through a journey of healing
that bridges the wisdom of psychology & spirituality.
Kali Slate...
A mother, friend, partner, and a queer-identifying mixed woman of South Asian and Polish descent. As a psychologist, writer, facilitator, and psychedelic coach, I navigate this journey of life as a curious seeker and lifelong student. My path has been rich and intense, marked by both profound highs and deep lows.
Psyche & Spirit
Psyche
Our work together will be a curious exploration of the experiences,
patterns, and imprints that shape us throughout our lives. Sometimes,
we reach a point where our old patterns no longer serve us, and we may
feel stuck, unsure of what needs to change.
With two decades of
experience as a psychologist and an integrative approach, I bring a deep
reservoir of knowledge and an unending curiosity to our work together.
In therapy, we'll collaboratively explore where you are, how you arrived
there, and where you want to go.
I see myself as a supportive passenger
while you remain in the driver’s seat of this journey. I’ll offer guidance
and suggestions, but you decide the direction, pace, and when to
pause. I value collaboration and look forward to working together to
navigate your challenges and strengths on this human journey.
Spirit
My journey into the spiritual realm began with the recognition that there
was something greater than myself influencing my human experience,
though I felt deeply disconnected from it. I set out to explore ways to
connect with spiritual spaces, both internally and through community.
Over the years, this exploration has become a vital part of my life and
personal journey. I have found ways to incorporate these insights into
my work with clients, always with the intention of fostering a space
where spiritual conversations and curiosities are welcomed.
My goal is
not to project my own beliefs onto others, but to support and encourage
your exploration of spirituality. If you are also curious about spirituality,
we can engage in various practices and discussions to help you connect
with your own spiritual path.

More of My Story...
As I mentioned, my path has been rich and intense, marked by both profound highs and deep lows. With nearly two decades of experience as a North American-trained psychologist, I have a robust professional foundation. However, my journey has also been a quest for something deeper and more transcendent. My time within the colonized and pathologized mental health system revealed a growing desire to connect with more profound aspects of healing and existence.
Over the years, I have delved into facing and healing from intense pain and trauma. This process has involved acknowledging my own experiences and exploring how they shape my beliefs and history. I have been fortunate to encounter transformative healing practices and people, blending psychology with spirituality, earth medicines, sacred ceremonies, animist wisdom, and syncretic healing practices.
I am dedicated to creating spaces where we can collectively explore the depths of pain, joy, curiosity, eros, and creativity. I bring to this work a blend of knowledge, lived experience, and a passion for helping others discover their unique paths. As I continue to develop my voice as a writer, I remain committed to serving others through this powerful medium.
