Getting to know Chantal Gagnon

After growing up in Montreal, Canada, Psychotherapist and Media Expert Dr. Chantal Gagnon pursued her American dream and immigrated to the United States at age 17 on her own. She moved to sunny South Florida and attended Florida Atlantic University, where she received a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, a Certificate in Women’s Studies, a Master’s degree in Child Development (Developmental Psychology), and a PhD in Psychology. During her undergraduate studies, Dr. Gagnon paid her way through school working as a private investigator and forensic technician intern. She assisted in over 100 autopsies at the Dade County Medical Examiner’s office in the 1990s. As an undergraduate, Dr. Gagnon chaired a campus student organization focused on alcohol awareness and substance abuse prevention, founded the campus chapter of the National Organization for Women, and is a founding sister of FAU’s Phi Sigma Sigma sorority. Then, as life would have it, her career took a different path, and Dr. Gagnon worked in healthcare administration and business consulting throughout her twenties. Feeling unfulfilled by her work, she quit her well-paying business job at age 31 and spent two months traveling to figure out her life. She decided to go back to school to refocus on what had always been her passion: psychology and counseling. Since then, Dr. Gagnon has earned a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. She is the co-author of the “NeuroPhysiology of Empathy” (a chapter in Empathy and Mental Illness) and has presented research and workshops at conferences and other events on mental health, relationships, and psychology topics. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a Certified Addictions Professional, a Substance Abuse Professional, and is Board Certified in Professional Counseling.
