Dr. Jessica Di Sante is a clinical psychologist and member of the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec. She completed her PhD at McGill University and her clinical trainings at the Douglas Eating Disorders Continuum, the MUHC Personality Disorders Program and Bariatric Surgery Unit, and Connecte Psychology.

She works with adults presenting with a range of challenges and diagnoses: anxiety and mood disturbance, eating disorders/disordered eating, emotion regulation and interpersonal difficulties, and life transitions. Her interest is less in the diagnostic label than in the painful patterns we humans struggle to shed: all our ways of being that developed for understandable reasons, but that today create suffering or get in our way.

Her practice is integrative, drawing primarily from psychodynamic psychotherapy, Coherence Therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), incorporating elements of ACT and DBT. Her work is less about managing symptoms with counteractive strategies and tools than about understanding them together. She works from the conviction that understanding the functions of our symptoms — not just intellectually but viscerally — and turning toward what has long been avoided create the conditions for something to shift at a deeper level.

Outside of work, she can usually be found reading too many books at a time, writing, or absorbed in creative projects. She finds her greatest joy in nature, with her dog and favourite people.
