Student Insurance Coverage
Using Your Student Health Plan
At the Centre for Psychodynamic Insights, we welcome students who are seeking meaningful, in-depth therapy. While many college health plans cover only psychologists, most university insurance plans offer coverage for sessions with registered psychotherapists, psychologists, and social workers. This means you may already have access to the support you need through your student benefits.
