Therapy for College Students with Aetna Student Health
Most students pay $0–$25 per session. We handle everything else.
ThirdSpace Psychotherapy is an out-of-network therapy practice in Manhattan specializing in therapy for college students and young adults. We accept Aetna Student Health (the student health insurance plan for NYU and other universities) and handle all billing directly on your behalf.
