At Mind Body Co-op, we offer holistic, affirming student mental health services with PPO insurance to help students manage stress, identity challenges, academic anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
Support for Students at Every Stage
No matter where you are in your academic journey, you deserve mental health support that sees the full picture of who you are.
We serve:
- Junior High and Middle School Students
- High School Teens
- Undergraduate and Graduate Students
- International Students and First-Generation Students
- Neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC Students
Therapy for International Students in Chicago
Studying far from home can be exciting and isolating at the same time. We work with many international students at Chicago-area colleges and universities, offering support for culture shock, homesickness, loneliness, academic pressure, family expectations and visa or post-graduation stress, in person in Chicago and by telehealth across Illinois.
Many of our clinicians are bilingual, so you can talk in the language that feels most natural, or move between languages in session. We offer therapy in Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic and Polish, and medication management in Vietnamese. Meet our bilingual providers.
We accept most major insurance plans, including many international student insurance plans, and self-pay rates vary by provider.

We work with middle school, high school, undergraduate and graduate students, including international, first-generation, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC students.
What kinds of support do you offer students?
Students can get individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric medication management, nutrition care, and neuropsychological testing. Your care team coordinates so therapy and medication work together.
Can you help with testing for ADHD, autism or school accommodations?
Yes. Our psychologists provide evaluations for ADHD, autism and learning differences, and the results can support requests for academic accommodations.
Do you have groups for college students?
Yes. We run therapy groups for college and international students, both virtual and in person. Current groups are listed on our Group Therapy page.
Can I keep seeing my therapist if I go to college outside Illinois?
Yes. College students can continue telehealth sessions with us while living outside Illinois during the school year, so you don’t have to change therapists when you leave for school.
Can I use my insurance as a student?
We accept most PPO plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, Optum and Ambetter, plus Meridian Medicaid, and plans you’re covered under through a parent. We generally don’t accept HMO plans, though some may be covered.
