Michelle Labine
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Counselling Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
Many autistic adults particularly women and those who were diagnosed later in life have spent years feeling different without understanding why. A later diagnosis can bring relief, validation, grief, self-discovery and a re-examination of past experiences. Together, we can explore what autism means for you, make sense of challenges related to masking, relationships, sensory needs, burnout, identity, and self-worth, and build a deeper understanding of your strengths and needs. My approach is neuroaffirming and grounded in helping you live more authentically and compassionately as yourself.
