Christiane LaBarre MS, MA, LPC Associate

Real Life Experience. Real Compassionate Care.

Hi, I’m Christiane LaBarre, and I’m glad you’re here. If you’re looking for a space where you can show up exactly as you are without judgment, you’ve found it. I believe that therapy works best when it’s built on genuine respect, collaboration, and a personalized approach tailored entirely to you.

My path to becoming a therapist wasn't a straight line, and I bring a wealth of real-world perspective to our sessions. I’m a proud U.S. Army veteran, spent eleven years building and running a business, and lived overseas for four years working as an international teacher. These diverse chapters taught me a universal truth: no matter your background, culture, or lifestyle, everyone deserves a safe place to heal, grow, and be truly heard.

Outside of the office, I’ve been happily married for 28 years, and we have a fabulous 9-year-old daughter. I stay busy homeschooling her, exploring the world through international travel, swimming, diving into my studies, and relaxing with an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I also take great pride in supporting my husband Benjamin's work as a children's book author—he has written gentle guides for kids on navigating sensory sensitivities and anxiety, including What to Do When the World is Too Loud and When Thoughts Get Stuck.

The Weight of Words: A Poem About Resilience: A heartfelt poem about a young boy's journey through bullying, self-doubt, and emotional pain toward self-acceptance, courage, and resilience. Through his experiences, he discovers that his worth is not defined by the cruelty of others and that kindness has the power to heal. Ultimately, the poem reminds us to embrace our differences, stand up for ourselves, and offer compassion to those who feel alone.

What’s So Great About the World?: A five senses poem: “What’s So Great About the World?” is a heartwarming children's poem about a little bird who begins life inside a small, confining egg, feeling frustrated, lonely, and convinced that the world has nothing to offer.

As the egg gradually cracks and the bird begins to hatch, it discovers the world one sense at a time. First, it experiences wonderful smells, followed by beautiful sounds, the sensation of touch, and the delightful flavors of food. Finally, the bird opens its eyes and discovers the incredible sights of the world around it…

Areas of Focus

No two individuals are the same, which is why my services are highly individualized.

Utilizing a combination of ACT, Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, and a blend of approaches, I collaborate with you to explore what is working, challenge what feels stuck, and help you move forward with confidence.
