Mélanie Laberge, PhD, PsyD, is a French-Canadian clinical psychologist. She completed a clinical and research doctoral program in psychology at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) in 2014, graduating with distinction for her thesis. She has remained actively involved in research and academia, serving as a lecturer at the UQAM and as a clinical supervisor at both the University of Montréal Psychology Clinic and the UQAM Centre for Psychological Health. She places a strong emphasis on knowledge transfer and the training of future psychologists.
Dr. Laberge is the owner of Change en famille clinic (a multidisciplinary clinic) and also works at the Centre intégré de la douance et du talent (a non profit organisation that supports gifted and twice exceptional families), where she provides individual and family therapy. Her clinical experience has led her to deepen her expertise on intergenerational transmission of trauma among gifted and twice-exceptional individuals. In line with this focus, she completed the Bowen Family Systems Theory Clinical Certificate from Rutgers University in 2024. She primarily works with clients experiencing family-related trauma who are gifted or twice-exceptional.
She continues to contribute to knowledge dissemination and professional development through both peer-reviewed and public-facing publications, and by training professionals on the specific needs and interventions for gifted and twice-exceptional individuals.
