Michelle Gibson, MSW, RSW, is a speaker, consultant, educator, and the founder of both The Nest Collective and Gibson & Associates Psychotherapy.

She brings over 15 years of experience studying human behaviour and organizational health, 12 years of teaching at the university and private sector levels, and a decade of consulting with private and public sector organizations on leadership, mental health, crisis response, and wellness.

She takes the deep knowledge of the human condition built through psychotherapy and translates it into the space where most of us spend the majority of our hours: at work.

With a strong record of working with individuals and teams, Michelle is a consultant, an educator, and a collaborator, here to help you and your team lean into the learning edges with the confidence that getting to the other side is genuinely possible.

Michelle is a WBE Canada Certified Women Business Enterprise and a Top 30 Under 40 recipient. She holds advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) at both the therapist and consultant certification levels, and her signature program, Lead From Within, brings an IFS-informed lens to leadership development in a way that is accessible, evidence-grounded, and practically applicable whether or not participants have a clinical background.

She doesn't teach from a place of having arrived. She teaches from a place of always becoming.
