Price 2026 per hour: paid by the client, reimbursed by international or private supplementary insurance for psychotherapy. I no longer work under the Swiss basic insurance scheme LAMAL. ​

 

• People who have little income and no capital are invited to tell me about it.

• I do not interact with the medical insurance companies of which you are a customer unless you ask me to.

• A number of international and private Swiss medical insurances reimburse my psychotherapy services upon presentation of my invoices/receipts.

• If you have a delegation voucher and wish to benefit from Swiss LAMAL psychology, you must contact a psychologist registered on the list of LAMAL providers. Being on this list requires from the psychologist 1)to write several medical reports on you 2) to provide a diagnosis according to the International Classification of Mental Illnesses and 3) to have you followed-up by a psychiatrist plus possibly medicated after 30 sessions. If you do not have a diagnosis of mental illness, reimbursement may be refused.
