Dual Individual Therapy Policy

IM体育试玩 Wellness Services, in partnership with the Symba Center, offers individual short-term therapy to currently enrolled students. While there are no formal restrictions against receiving therapy from multiple individual providers simultaneously, this practice may introduce challenges such as emotional fatigue, conflicting therapeutic approaches, diminished progress, and potential insurance limitations.

Requests for concurrent therapy services will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and are subject to the ethical and clinical judgment of the licensed clinician on staff. Approval is not guaranteed and will depend on the best interests of the student and the integrity of the therapeutic process.

For questions or to discuss your specific needs, please contact IM体育试玩 Wellness Services directly.
