Dr. Stephanie Gallant is a clinical psychologist at Connecte Montreal Psychology Group and a member of the Order of Psychologists of Quebec. She works with adults experiencing eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, and difficulties related to emotions, relationships, and self-understanding.
Stephanie takes a warm, collaborative, and engaged approach to therapy. She believes that therapy is a process of working together to better understand what you are experiencing, including the patterns, emotions, and relationships that may be shaping your difficulties. Rather than having all the answers, she sees herself as a partner in this process, bringing clinical knowledge and curiosity while drawing on the client’s own experience and perspective. This deeper understanding can create the foundation for meaningful and lasting change, alongside practical strategies that can help you navigate challenges in your day-to-day life.
Stephanie’s approach is integrative and draws on dialectical, interpersonal, cognitive-behavioural, and acceptance-based therapies. Rather than relying on a single therapeutic model, she brings together different perspectives and strategies depending on what is most helpful for each client. Her work is grounded in evidence-based psychological treatments while remaining attentive to the complexity of each person’s experiences and relationships.
Stephanie has extensive clinical training in a variety of mental health settings. She has worked in the Eating Disorders Program and Psychosis Program at the Douglas Institute, as well as the Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy Unit at the McGill University Health Centre. She completed her predoctoral psychology internship at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, where she worked in the Borderline Personality Disorder Clinic and Mood and Anxiety Ambulatory Services.
She received her Ph.D. from Concordia University’s Clinical and Research Psychology program, where her doctoral research focused on improving our understanding of the neurobiological factors associated with eating disorder symptoms.
Outside of her work, Stephanie enjoys being active outdoors, feeling most at home in the water. She also loves spending time with her family and occasionally becoming a little too competitive over a card game with friends.
