In Lebanon, psychologists and psychotherapists work under a statutory licence. Law 8/2017 requires registration with the Lebanese Order of Psychologists, which runs the licensing route and holds the register of licensed practitioners. The Ministry of Public Health issues the licence itself.
It publishes the list of clinical psychologists who hold one. A psychiatrist is licensed as a doctor, so that list is not the check that answers for one. You can open the Ministry of Public Health list of licensed clinical psychologists.
Therapy fees in Lebanon are set by each practice, so what a psychologist, psychotherapist or psychiatrist charges depends on their qualifications, the length of the session and where they work. Therapists generally set what they charge with their own cost of living in mind, and fees tend to track local income levels.
If the fee is beyond your means, ask whether the psychologist works on a sliding scale based on income. Look at counselling through non-profit organisations, community mental health services, and any programme your employer runs.
