Michelle Labine

Hello & Welcome!

     I’m Michelle, a Registered Counselling Therapist, licensed in Nova Scotia and a Registered Psychotherapist licensed in Ontario.

     My areas of clinical focus include all things relationships (partners, families, friends, work),  Adult ADHD, Autism & AuDHD,  sexual health, sexual violence, and complex trauma.

     I believe healing happens in relationship—especially in a therapeutic space where you feel truly seen and understood. While I’m trained in multiple modalities, our sessions will feel like collaborative conversations focused on creating a safe, attuned connection where your nervous system can settle and your emotional world can begin to shift. This kind of deep, supportive alliance helps rewire old patterns and opens up new ways of being, feeling, and relating.

     Therapy isn’t about being “fixed”—it’s about remembering who you are beneath the noise, the expectations, the roles, and the coping. It’s a space for slowing down, for being witnessed, for exploring the deeper layers of self through conversation, reflection, and meaning-making. We are storied beings, shaped by experience and memory, and in therapy we can tend to those stories with curiosity, compassion, and care—honouring what helped us survive, and rewriting what no longer serves us well. 

     Therapy is a delicate balance between science and art. The science gives us tools and insight—but the art is where the magic happens. It’s in the moments that are hard to explain but deeply felt: the quiet attunement, the emotional resonance, the safety to be fully yourself. That’s where it begins.

     I’m glad you’ve found your way to my page; I look forward to connecting with you to explore possibilities.

My Advocacy Statement on Autism Stigma & Mental Health Stigma

I want to highlight that getting support is not a sign of weakness. It takes an enormous amount of strength and courage to insist on taking care of yourself in a world that continues to push distraction and avoidance. To my clients: You are bad ass!  Thank you for doing the heavy lifting and inviting me to be a part of your journey, it is my honour. You amaze me, surprise me and inspire me over and over again. 

Warmest, 

M
