Dr. Labat’s training includes a postdoctoral fellowship in pediatric psychology, which propelled her into the position of lead psychologist and psychological services manager at the Inpatient Psychiatric Unit of Children’s Medical Center Dallas (CMCD) and its Center for Pediatric Eating Disorders.

Her areas of specialty include supporting adolescents and adults with everyday life stressors; promoting women’s emotional health across the lifespan including reproductive health and pregnancy loss; and supporting the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities therapeutically. Moreover, Dr. Labat conducts psychological and psychoeducational assessments for the determination of learning differences and attention-related difficulties and to clarify diagnoses.

Dr. Labat is also a sought-after speaker in the areas of antiracism initiatives, mindfulness in BIPOC communities, coping with racial trauma, and living a healthy lifestyle. She also serves as a national consultant and content developer for a digital weight-loss program serving over 50,000 individuals across the United States.
