French-Speaking Therapists in Canada (Thérapeutes francophones)

Therapy in French, wherever you live in Canada

If French is the language you think and feel in, therapy can be easier in French, even if you live and work in English. The therapists on this page offer sessions in French and English, so you can use either language or switch between them. They're based across Canada, including Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia, and many offer online therapy in other provinces.

Frequently asked therapy questions

Can I get therapy in French outside Quebec?

Yes. French-speaking therapists on First Session are based in several provinces and many offer online therapy across Canada. Each therapist can see clients only in the provinces listed on their profile.

Is there a French-speaking therapist in Toronto or Ottawa?

Yes. Several French-speaking therapists on First Session are based in Ontario and see clients in person or online across the province. You can also browse all therapists in Ontario.

Can I find a French-speaking therapist if I live in Quebec?

Yes. Some therapists on this page are based in Quebec or list Quebec among the provinces they serve online. Check each profile for the provinces they see clients in.

Can I switch between French and English in sessions?

Yes. Every therapist on this page works in both languages, and many clients switch depending on the topic. Mention what feels most comfortable in your free consultation or first session.

Does insurance cover therapy, and how much does it cost?

Coverage depends on the therapist's designation, not the language they speak. Most workplace benefit plans cover some combination of registered psychotherapists, social workers, clinical counsellors and psychologists, up to a yearly limit. On First Session, most individual sessions cost $130–$185 before tax, with a median of $160 (paid sessions, November 2025 to November 2026). Learn more about therapy costs and coverage.

How do I know which therapist is the right fit?

Fit matters more than anything else in therapy. Watch each therapist's intro video, read what they focus on, and book a free consultation with the one who feels right. If your first choice isn't the right fit, it's okay to try someone else.
