I think what happens here is that you subscribe to the Student Health Service of the University you are studying at. If, for example, you're at Harvard, you would be under their health plan, which would probably offer somewhat different benefits, in terms of the frequency of psychiatric visits, than the health plan which MIT, or some other school, has. If you apply anywhere in the US, you will automatically receive this information; if it's not sufficiently detailed, you can inquire further. I don't know, for sure, whether the university health services would be able to provide adequate care for a person with a dissociative disorder. But, if they could not, the universities would have close connections to the psychoanalytic institutes, which could offer you really good care at very nominal cost. That care is essentially paid for by the Institutes themselves. You would get an analyst in training, but, if it turns out to be a good "fit', you would get excellent care, as they are already highly qualified therapists, and have some of the best analysts in the country as their teachers and supervisors. I'm sure you could work it out well here.
