Every effort has been made to ensure that your involvement with psychological services at the Eric Cohen Student Health Center is a valuable experience. We recognize that it is sometimes difficult to acknowledge a need for help and we support your doing so by trying to make accessing the services available to you as easy and stress-free as possible. Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with our program.
We take confidentiality very seriously. One of the most important aspects of the relationship between a therapist and a patient is that it is a confidential relationship. Confidentiality and privacy is ensured for all services offered by our Eric Cohen psychologists and psychiatrist. In addition to not releasing your mental health and wellness information without your documented permission, we take the added step of limiting routine access to your health record without your permission, with the exception of medications that are being prescribed by any provider at the Eric Cohen Student Health Center.
The clinical psychology staff of the Eric Cohen Student Health Center is available for short term consultation for all registered students under the Student Health Center Fee. For appointments with an outside provider, please refer to the Insurance section below.
Students who are covered by the USC Student Health Insurance Plan may receive up to 25 counseling sessions per academic school year with an outside provider. Under this plan, students are required to pay a 10% co-pay up to $30.00 for each session. If you have a different insurance plan, please determine your benefits for "outpatient psychotherapy" with your insurance carrier benefit representative.
