My name is Brandy Labine, and I am a Registered Psychotherapist.
My path to entering the field of psychotherapy began long before my formal education and training.
As far back as I can remember I felt out of place in the world. I questioned everything, yet felt unable to find answers to the questions I had about myself and the world I was growing up in. These feelings only intensified as I matured.
Coming from a family touched by trauma and addictions, I entered young adulthood ill-equipped for life, uncertain of myself and others, and destined to repeat many of the same unconscious patterns I was running from.
By the time I came to therapy I was lost, angry, and living a life I did not want.
I was fortunate enough to find someone I could openly examine my life with and have spent the last 14 years engaged in my own personal depth therapy.
I now hold a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology and an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. I completed all of my formal training as a mature student while raising my two daughters right here in North Bay, Ontario.
Socrates cautioned that the unexamined life is not worth living, and I have come to believe this to be profoundly true. I do not have all the answers to life, but I have spent the better part of my adult life making sense of my experiences at every turn. I have faced many obstacles, confronted many discomforts and hard truths about myself.
Through my journey of self-exploration and therapy, I have unravelled the layers of confusion and insecurity that once engulfed me. I have learned to navigate the complexities of life with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose. While the scars of my past still serve as a reminder of the challenges I have overcome, they no longer define me. I have broken free from the cycle of unconscious patterns and emerged as a stronger, more resilient individual.
I now cherish the moments of connection and growth, and my ability to guide my daughters through life's ups and downs. My journey of self-discovery continues, as I embrace the uncertainty of the future with courage and an unwavering belief in my own capacity to shape my destiny.
