Our Story

ICP is different from standard practices because we provide an integrative approach to mental health—we take a holistic, mindful approach to our clients mental health. Our clinical staff’s professional growth is also of vital importance to ICP. We believe that the mind/body connection is crucial for both. We take collaborative care very seriously and are always working with providers to support client wellness. In addition, our practice owner believes very strongly in being able to provide services to multiple client types and not just those who can afford mental health care privately, which is why we take many types of insurance.

Since our inception we have offered all provider types the opportunity to come and be part of ICP and be able to practice (i.e., without overwhelming amounts of paperwork, office politics, bureaucratic rules, or budget balancing) with a client’s treatment and growth at the center of their work. As such, what our practice owner has attempted to do is create comfortable, inviting, and well-resourced spaces for clinicians to provide excellent clinical intervention with minimal paperwork and streamlined billing to keep the therapeutic interaction as our priority while following best practice guidelines.

Our Vision

The vision for service delivery at ICP is to provide a variety of services to potential clients in multiple locations. Whatever client’s require, mental health support, including clinical guidance, exploration of the self, relationships, and potential barriers to achieving mental wellness. They can find the support they need at ICP. Our many locations offer different communities the ability to receive the needed services. In addition, our wide footprint helps to provide a flexible framework for our clinicians to achieve a healthy work-life balance. We have always kept cultural diversity at the center of our service model and make it a priority that we have many providers that are bilingual and bicultural part of our team.
