Questions before we begin.

The title of psychologue is protected by law and requires a university master's degree (Bac+5). Psychothérapeute is another protected title conferred by the FF2P and certain schools of psychotherapy. Psychopraticien is freely used by mental health professionals of any background. Counselors, social workers, and systemic therapists may also use this title. Aimee Côté is a psychopraticienne and holds a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of New Hampshire (COAMFTE-accredited).

Yes, online sessions are available. Some choose to meet online because they live far away, others because of their busy schedules, and still others for the comfort of speaking from their own space. Most clients find that online sessions are as helpful as in-person. Online therapy is particularly well-suited when family members or partners live separately and can't be in the same place for the session.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Common signs that therapy could help include: feeling stuck or overwhelmed, recurring conflicts with a partner or family member, difficulty coping with a major life change, persistent anxiety or low mood, or simply wanting a safe space to better understand yourself. If you're unsure, a first exploratory session can help you decide whether therapy is right for you.

Individual sessions last 50 minutes and cost 85€. Couple and family sessions last 80 minutes and cost 120€. Some insurance and mutuelles may reimburse all or part of sessions. I also offer a reduced fee for those who are interested in therapy but simply can't afford it in their present circumstances.

There's no set number. Some people feel better after several sessions while others choose more sessions to shift things on a more fundamental level. Therapy is completely voluntary: you can stop whenever you want or need to.
