Natasha Labbé
MSW, LSW
Psychotherapist
I believe that each of us is inherently worthy and deserves to exist as our fullest selves. Through curiosity, compassion, and radical genuineness, I seek to co-create an affirmative space in which you may explore intersecting identities, process feelings, and cultivate hope and meaning. My therapeutic approach emphasizes centering your lived experiences, meeting you where you are, and moving at your pace. I believe in the profound power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate vulnerability, connection, and growth. The process of sharing in your pursuit of deeper self-love, knowledge, and acceptance is a humbling experience that I feel honored to be a part of.
A source of passion for me is naming and untangling the ways oppressive societal, political, and institutional forces are embedded in and impact our day-to-day lives. I also recognize the value of reflecting on how our past informs our present.
My clinical experience includes working with young children, adolescents, emerging adults, and folx of color. I practice from a relational, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and liberatory lens. I also draw on play therapy.
