Our Mission Has Not Changed
The Mission of the Independent Mental Health Practices Alliance is to support and market competent, ethical mental health services that preserve privacy and confidentiality.
We encourage our members to work together, as a community of professionals, to provide excellent mental health services and resources to people they serve.
We invite mental health professionals of all disciplines to Join Us in our pursuit of excellent practice management and promotion. We achieve this through the use of online and printed directories, organized referral networks, and other tools to help professionals establish and grow their businesses in an ethical and responsible manner.
