Konvergent - Search for an Outside Mental Health Provider
As an additional resource option for students looking to connect with an off-campus provider, UCSD Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) maintains an extensive list of off-campus community resources. The list is accessible at https://konvergent.io/public/ucsd-caps
This referral list was generated from publicly available records. This list does not constitute an endorsement of services. This list is updated yearly to maintain accuracy. Please contact providers directly for the most updated information, including accepted insurances.
As a reminder, if you have UC SHIP insurance, a referral will be required in order to utilize off-campus care. Please call UCSD Counseling and Psychological Services if you have additional questions at 858-534-3755.

Once you identify a provider that you are interested in seeing, please call them directly to verify that they are indeed on the UC SHIP panel. Then you can schedule an appointment or initial consultation if they are taking new clients, and let me know which provider you have selected.
If you want to use your insurance, please remember it is your responsibility to verify and understand your insurance coverage and what your out-of-pocket costs will be. After attending your appointment, please call me to confirm if you plan to continue with the same provider for ongoing care.
If you are using the UCSD UC SHIP Insurance Panel and have questions, you can contact the UCSD Student Health Insurance Office at (858) 534-42124. You will also need to sign an acknowledgment form that outlines information, such as copays and referral information.
Please note that your UC SHIP referral will no longer be valid (1) if it expires, (2) the number of visits specified is expended or (3) you change providers from those specified. If you need continued treatment when your referral becomes invalid, please contact your referring CAPS psychologist prior to incurring any additional charges, or you will be responsible for paying the entire amount billed. Retroactive referrals are not available for charges incurred without a concurrent valid referral.
