Community Provider Database
Referral Database Heading link
The Counseling Center offers a database of mental health providers in the Chicago area for students searching for mental health services off campus. Many of these providers accept health insurance or offer reduced fees based on your income. It is important to verify provider information and contact your insurance company to confirm your coverage for that particular provider. Check out our Insurance 101 page for more information about using your health insurance benefits.
If you are unsure what types of mental health services may be right for you or need support finding a provider off campus, please call (312) 996-3490 to schedule an initial consultation.
What is a sliding scale?
Some providers offer what is called a “sliding scale,” which means that the fee per session is based on household income and ability to pay. This can sometimes be a more affordable way for students who do not have insurance or prefer not to use their insurance to access care.

Getting Connected Using Campus Care
For Individual, Relationship, and Group Therapy
Campus Care is essentially an HMO insurance, which means that all referrals to a specialist provider must be authorized by a primary care provider (PCP). In order to access mental health treatment using your Campus Care insurance, you will need to speak with a primary care physician at UIC Family Medicine (312) 996-2901 about your mental health concerns. Your PCP will authorize and provide referrals that accept Campus Care. If you do not have a PCP yet, you can let Family Medicine know that you are trying to establish care because you are looking to obtain referrals for mental health services in the community.
A Licensed Clinical Social Worker (or other licensed clinical professional) at Family Medicine could provide some very brief individual therapy sessions through the Collaborative Care Model (if recommended). This form of clinical support would occur while the PCP connects you to in-network referrals in the community. You can request this service through your PCP as well.
Students with Campus Care will usually have a $15 co-pay per session (due to the pandemic the co-pay has been waived until May 15, 2022).
For Psychiatry and Testing Services
Psychiatry and testing services are available through Campus Care at the Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI), which is located on the west side of campus on 912 S. Wood Street. You will still have to contact your PCP at Family Medicine to receive authorization for these services.
Out-of-State Students
Per the Campus Care website: “Students who are out of state: you will need to contact your primary care provider at your UI campus Primary Care Center to request a referral for care that is in the area where you are living currently.
Students who are in Illinois or Indiana: you can still utilize telehealth appointments with your Campus Care Primary Care provider. However, you must update your home address in your UI Health MyChart to your address in Illinois or Indiana in order for a physician to provide treatment.
Out of Network Care:
Please contact your primary care physician at Family Medicine for direction on all non-emergency care. Out-of-network care authorized by your in-network primary care physician will be assessed at an in-network cost share and copayment. All members must establish a provider relationship prior to any referrals or treatment. This can currently be done remotely via a telehealth visit. Call your PCP for an appointment.
