Melinda Labbe, LPC, LMHC
About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 19 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, conflict resolution, communication, career challenges and military members. I also worked with individuals who have experienced trauma from sexual abuse/rape, physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I feel it is an honor to walk through the journey with my client to a better happier life.
I look forward to working with you!

Melinda has been very helpful in helping me navigate my overwhelming emotions due to a trifecta of my family death, nephews cancer and a breakup in my Long term relationship all the same time. I had never done therapy before, I m glad to have found her and now understand how therapy is beneficial.

Melinda is so kind, warm, and invites you to a safe, judgement-free space. We have shared laughs and tears amidst her abundance of guidance and enthusiasm to see me heal. She reminds me of who I am - and who I’m not - and who I want to be in the future and how I can get there. Melinda will show you all the parts of yourself you need to see, and she’ll do it gently. My time with her was short since I’m moving states, but I truly felt a tremendous amount of progress was made. I’ve had a few therapists before I got to Melinda, and she’s been wonderful. Carry on!

Melinda is the BEST!!! She went above and beyond by sending me multiple materials to support our live session and frequently reaching out to see how I was doing. She provided with me with amazing counsel that I will take with me forever and share with other people as well! Everyone needs a Melinda in their life! Thank you, Melinda!
