Find a Therapist in Tours, France

The list includes clinical psychologists, psychologists and CBT psychotherapists.

Practitioners here are spread across a number of places rather than gathered in one. Each city below carries its own list. You can also filter for practitioners who work by video, wherever they are.

In France there are three routes. Mon soutien psy funds a set number of therapy sessions with a participating psychologist each calendar year at a tariff the scheme fixes. You no longer need to see a doctor first, and it is open to children as well as adults, for mild to moderate distress.

The state reimburses most of the tariff and a mutuelle can cover the rest, which leaves nothing to pay. Centres médico-psychologiques are free and financed by social security, staffed by psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and nurses, and heavier psychiatric need is directed there. Otherwise you pay a therapist's own fee, and no French professional body publishes a schedule of them.

France reserves the titles psychologue and psychothérapeute by law. Each rests on a public list rather than on a description of training. A psychologue must hold one of the qualifying diplomas set by decree, and the regional health agency draws up the list for the département.

A psychothérapeute must be entered on the national register of psychotherapists. Psychopraticien, thérapeute and coach are not reserved words, so no list covers them. A psychiatre is a doctor, entered on a roll of the Ordre des médecins.
