She completed her B.Sc. and Ph.D./Psy.D. degrees in psychology at Université du Québec à Montréal. Her Honours undergraduate thesis and doctoral dissertation explored attachment representations, emotion regulation, and behavior problems in preschool victims of sexual abuse.

Dr. Langevin’s academic dossier and research have been recognized with numerous scholarships and awards. She has contributed to the scientific literature with several scholarly papers, and she has participated in dozens of national and international conferences. Her clinical training involved a specialization in cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety and trauma related disorders in adults and she is still working with these populations in her private practice.
