Our Mission

The Mission of the Independent Mental Health Practices Alliance (IMHPA) is to support and market competent, ethical mental health services which preserve privacy and confidentiality.

IMHPA encourages members to work together as a community of professionals providing excellent mental health services and resources to the people to whom they offer care.

We invite mental health professionals of all disciplines to join us in pursuit of excellence in independent practice and promotion. We achieve this using consultation support, and organized referral networking, as well as shared tools to help professionals establish and grow their businesses in an ethical and responsible manner.

“IMHPA is a learning organization and quite possibly the best association of mental health professionals capable of supporting alternative payment methods.”

• Therapists shall preserve client confidentiality.

• Mental health professionals shall create an interdisciplinary community that promotes and supports competent and ethical practice.
