Jessica Herrera-Roberge

Doctoral

Since September 2023, Jessica (she/her) has been pursuing a Ph.D. in clinical psychology (research and intervention track) at the Université de Montréal under the supervision of Dr. Bergeron. Her research interests focus primarily on shame related to sexuality, sexual well-being, and issues surrounding sexual and gender diversity. She is also interested in relational and sexual dynamics within couples, as well as therapeutic approaches that promote relational and sexual well-being. Passionate about science communication, she co-produced and co-coordinated a podcast in collaboration with CISM, the Université de Montréal’s radio station. This project led to the production of fifteen episodes dedicated to sexuality, approached from a feminist, critical, and inclusive perspective. She is the recipient of a Canada Graduate Scholarships award at the master’s level (2024) and the doctoral level (2025–2028), as well as a Dialogue Grant from the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture (2026–2027).
