Michael Labbe, LCPC

Director | Psychotherapist

My journey to become a counselor includes deep personal life experiences that inform my therapeutic vision. Throughout my education and practice in mental health treatment, I have focused on psychodynamic and interpersonal models of therapy, specifically to help light a path that only the patient can truly see. My goal is to provide an environment of trust and safety where you can explore and work through life’s most difficult issues without judgment. Together, we have the opportunity to resolve difficulties and to enrich your life and relationships.

I welcome the opportunity to work with you as an individual, couple, or in group, in a safe and non-judgmental space, where we can explore together what the past meant, the present offers, and the future may hold.

I am the father of four adult sons, and reside with my partner Terri in Bethesda, MD.

    OUR MISSION

    Our mission is simple. Lighting a path for each patient to find their own way to lead lives of contentment, compassion, and to flourish as human beings. Offering a safe and secure space with non-judgmental listening to suggest for patients where they might look, but not telling them what to see. Helping individuals and couples hear their own story and make sense of their past and feel prepared for a future.

    Our therapeutic vision is to accompany you on your therapeutic journey. The vision you hold for your life, the desires and wishes you long for, will be different from each of ours. We see the importance of not inflicting our hopes and dreams on to yours, and to let you venture securely into your future and not the one we could project on to you. We envision therapy as being all about you. You alone are the expert on your life.

    We promise not to judge, not to criticize, not to determine. It is our jobs as therapists to hear and to listen and we promise to do that. Our rooms are places we’ve pledged will be safe and completely confidential. Our goal is to serve as compassionate companions along part of your complicated journey, and to help you make sense of it. Only in the presence of such compassion can a patient allow themselves to experience their truths.
