Until a few years ago, when looking for a psychologist, the question of cost was a real obstacle. Today, thanks to the device My psychological support, set up by Health Insurance, the procedures are considerably simplified. And above all, they are now much more financially accessible. This article gives you all the keys to understanding this device and why it is an excellent opportunity to take care of your mental health.
There is more and more talk about the importance of mental health, but there are still taboos and obstacles. Many are hesitant to see a psychologist for fear of being judged, misunderstood, or simply because of financial constraints. However, the numbers speak for themselves: one in five people suffer from mental disorders at some point in his life. Whether it's to manage depression, anxiety, or simply to learn how to better understand and thrive, consulting a psychologist can be a valuable help.
That's where the program My psychological support enter the scene. Its objective? Make consultations with a psychologist not only accessible, but also affordable, to allow everyone to take the plunge without fearing for their wallet.
The device My psychological support was launched by Health Insurance as part of the improvement of access to psychological care. It is based on a simple and effective system: now without medical guidance, you can consult a partner psychologist, with financial support for a certain number of sessions.
The system is intended for all Health Insurance policyholders, regardless of your age or status.
This device breaks an important barrier: cost. Before, many people gave up consulting due to lack of financial resources. With My Psychic Support, consulting a professional becomes possible for a greater number of people.
In France, it is common to have to wait several weeks, or even several months, to get an appointment with a psychologist. The platform makes it easy to identify practitioners who are available quickly.
General practitioners are often the first contact for patients with psychological problems. With Mon Soutien Psy, they have a tool to refer patients to competent specialists, thus lightening their burden.
The psychologists who are partners in the program are selected for their expertise, thus guaranteeing quality follow-up.
From now on, it is no longer mandatory to consult a general practitioner to benefit from the program. So you can go directly to the official site My psychological support, enter your postal code, select specific criteria (such as specialization or the possibility of teleconsultation), and consult the available profiles.
Once the psychologist has been chosen, contact them directly to arrange a first appointment. Consultations can take place in the office or remotely, depending on your preferences.
The program now supports up to 12 sessions per year. The psychologist works with you to define goals and support you in your approach.
Send to the health insurance the treatment sheet sent by the psychologist in order to be reimbursed for the session.
The system is intended for anyone insured by Health Insurance, presenting signs of mild to moderate psychological disorders (anxiety, depression, eating disorders, etc.). It is not designed for situations requiring extensive psychiatric follow-up, which fall under another type of care.
What if you tested the device yourself to see how effective it can be? Sometimes, even if you are not going through a period of great distress, a simple discussion with a professional can provide answers, unblock a situation, or simply allow you to better understand each other.

It is also an excellent opportunity to talk to others about this solution: whether for you or for a loved one, My psychological support can be a real gateway to well-being.
My psychological support marks an important advance in the management of mental health in France.

These types of devices should continue to be developed as society recognizes the importance of mental health.
