Hello, my name is Denise L’HOIRY-MARCHAND.  

I provide mental health services to adults and older adolescents with an emphasis on life-stage transitions and personal development both in Paris and on the Dordogne/Charente border near Aubeterre.

When troubled by mental health problems, finding a psychologist to provide mental health care is an important first step. Many people are hesitant to enter therapy and often struggle with their problems on their own for a period of time, sometimes for months or even years, before seeking mental health help. While making the initial phone call may be easier said than done, I think it is important to take the time necessary to find a therapist who can best meet your needs. In choosing a psychologist, I believe it is important to find out basic information including pragmatics (such as fees and whether or not insurance is accepted), credentials, general approach towards mental health treatment, areas of expertise or special interest (such as child psychology or relationship problems), and experience in working with your particular problems or concerns. Because I believe a good connection is central to the therapeutic process, I think sensing whether or not there is a “good fit” between you and the therapist is equally as important as finding out basic information. Making an appointment and meeting with the psychologist in person is a good way you can assess the therapeutic connection and the extent to which you feel comfortable, safe, and understood.

Credentials : I graduated from Paris 7 Denis Diderot University, majoring in Clinical Psychology and Freud’s Psychoanalyse. I received my master’s degree in 2004 and my master’s degree in Business Administration in Marseille Euromed in 1976. I completed my supervised clinical training in community mental health clinics, hospitals, and a state agency. I have been licensed to practice independently in Paris since 2005 (ADELI 759309636). Since licensure, I have continued my education through classes, workshops, and other trainings on an on-going basis. In addition to psychotherapy, I also provide consultation and assessment.

About Appointments :
Therapy is a very personal experience and the first few appointments are geared towards making sure there is a good therapeutic “fit” between us. A therapy session lasts 45 minutes, time that is reserved just for you. Therapy works best when appointments are kept at the same time, each week to provide a sense of continuity between sessions. I offer both day and evening appointments. 


New : I am starting small groups therapy (3 to 6 people) and would like to work with expats.

Please call for fee and insurance information.
