Off-Campus Counselling & Insurance Coverage
Students at TMU have access to mental health coverage through their student union insurance plans. This coverage can be used for counselling services and provides an accessible pathway to ongoing care.
The CSDC has developed relationships with clinics and individual clinicians across the GTA who offer lower-cost counselling options that are covered by student insurance. CSDC counsellors can help connect you with these external providers if you are looking for ongoing therapy.
If you prefer to arrange external therapy on your own, the following Toronto-based practices offer low-cost counselling for TMU students. These providers are familiar with student mental health, TMU systems, and academic policies, and can support both mental health and academic-related concerns:

- Transforming Emotions: https://transformingemotions.ca/ (external link)
