Beth Slate, Founder

40+ years in business consulting. 20+ years inside family law.

Experience That Understands Both Sides

I’ve spent over four decades helping organizations build sustainable success through strong client experiences. Twenty years ago, I brought that consulting background into the legal field, partnering with hundreds of family law firms to help them serve clients better and run stronger practices doing it.
My work is also personal. I went through my own high-conflict divorce, and I understand exactly what your clients are carrying into your office. That’s part of why Pathfinder exists: to give firms a way to meet that need without absorbing it themselves.
I’m a Certified Divorce Coach, Certified Mediator, High Conflict Co-Parenting Coach, and Certified Change Management Practitioner, with a background in psychology, sociology, and human development, and graduate coursework in Marriage and Family Therapy. I’ve served as a domestic violence and sexual assault victim’s advocate, a court-appointed special advocate (CASA), and a guardian ad litem for high-conflict custody cases in Washington State.

Success Stories

I’d been in an abusive 21-year marriage and had dealt with years of infidelity and deception. When I finally decided to leave him, I was a terrified mess, feeling emotionally battered and unable to make the next move without spinning out emotionally. Beth helped me reframe what was going on, reassured me of what was real and what was fear. She helped get me back to a space of centeredness so I could take action steps to prepare myself for divorce. She explained the next steps clearly to me, allowing me to maximize my time with my attorney and save money in the process. There’s so much emotion and so many details involved in the process of divorce. I couldn’t have done this with such a clear mind without Beth. So eternally grateful.
