Michelle Labine
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Counselling Therapist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can feel emotionally intense and exhausting at times. Many people experience deep emotions, sensitivity to rejection or abandonment, challenges in relationships, shifts in self-image, and difficulty regulating emotions during times of stress. Therapy can provide a safe, supportive space to better understand these experiences, develop skills for managing emotions, strengthen relationships,and build a more stable sense of self. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and grounded in the belief that your responses make sense within the context of your life experiences, relationships and unmet needs. Together, we work toward greater self-understanding, emotional balance and connection with yourself and others.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
If relationships feel like an endless cycle of clinging and pushing away, if you're terrified of being left yet somehow always end up alone, if emptiness follows you no matter who's in your life—you're not broken, you're responding to deep wounds. I understand these patterns intimately and will help you see them with clarity and compassion rather than shame. Together, we'll explore where the fear of abandonment began, learn to regulate the panic that drives relationship chaos, and build genuine self-trust that doesn't depend on others' presence. You'll discover that the stability you've been seeking outside yourself can grow within.

Halifax is Atlantic Canada's largest city and a hub for universities, the military, and ocean-tech industries, creating a therapy community serving students, naval personnel, and knowledge workers navigating the pressures of high-achieving careers in a smaller city. Dalhousie University and Canadian Forces Base Halifax generate distinct demand for therapists who specialize in academic stress, military trauma, and the particular challenges of military family life. Nova Scotia Health provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving the South End, Bedford, and Dartmouth. Halifax's relatively small size means specialist therapist availability can be limited in some areas, and telehealth has become especially important for accessing care across Atlantic Canada.
