What PSYPACT actually means for you
Continuity of care across state lines
If you move to or from a PSYPACT-participating state mid-treatment, the work doesn’t have to restart with a new clinician. The licensing barrier disappears. For clients in stable long-arc therapy, that’s the difference between continuity and starting over — which often means months of relationship-building before the actual work resumes.
Specialty access when local options are limited
Rural areas, smaller metros, or regions where specialty mental-health resources are limited — PSYPACT removes the geographic constraint on who you can work with. Joe’s specialty work in ACT-focused adult therapy, sports performance counseling, and doctoral psychological testing is reachable from any participating state via secure-video sessions.
Choice of clinician beyond your immediate area
When clinician fit matters more than physical proximity — specific therapeutic approach, particular specialty, demographic match, or just the right working relationship — PSYPACT lets that decision happen on clinical grounds rather than the constraint of who’s available in your zip code.
Privacy in small communities
For patients in small communities who prefer not to see a local provider — professional overlap concerns, social-network proximity, or the simple desire for distance between therapy and the rest of life — PSYPACT provides clinical care that doesn’t compete with privacy. The provider is real; the geography is intentional.
Travel, dual-residence, and graduate-student continuity
PSYPACT requires you to be physically located in a participating state at the time of session — not necessarily a resident. Travelers, dual-residence patients, snowbirds, and graduate students often use PSYPACT for continuity while moving between states. Brief travel between sessions is fine; the location requirement applies at session-time.
What’s available via PSYPACT telehealth
Adult therapy
(ACT as primary modality, with CBT and behavioral activation as fits)
Individual psychotherapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity work, trauma, and stress/burnout. ACT as primary modality, with CBT and behavioral activation as fits. 60-minute secure-video sessions. Same modalities, same clinical approach as in-person work — with research consistently showing comparable outcomes for most mental health conditions.
Sports performance counseling
(Joe’s specialty — collegiate and competitive athletes)
Joe’s specialty — collegiate and competitive athletes navigating performance anxiety, identity, and high-stakes pressure. Particularly relevant for athletes whose programs aren’t located near specialty mental performance providers. PSYPACT makes this work accessible to athletes in 40+ states who would otherwise have no specialty option nearby.
ADHD evaluation and diagnostic assessment
(Telehealth-validated portions of the standardized battery)
Adult ADHD evaluation and diagnostic mental-health assessment conducted via secure-video telehealth — clinical interview, validated rating scales, cognitive measures where validated for telehealth administration, and written report typically completed in about a month. Faster than the field average. The components requiring in-person administration are outlined at consultation.
How PSYPACT telehealth actually works in practice
Verification + HIPAA-compliant platform
We verify your physical location in a PSYPACT-participating state at booking. Sessions run on a HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platform with BAA coverage — not standard Zoom. The platform is healthcare-grade for clinical use. 60-minute telehealth sessions, with the same modalities and clinical approach as in-person work.
Insurance billing across state lines
We accept insurance. The practice is in-network with BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, United Healthcare PPO, and Medicare — billed directly. For other coverage we bill your out-of-network benefits on your behalf, so you don’t submit superbills yourself. Coverage for telehealth varies by state and plan; many PPO plans cover telepsychology at the same rate as in-person care, particularly post-COVID. We verify at intake.
Local care planning — the safety net underneath the telehealth
At the start of treatment, we map a local care plan with every PSYPACT patient — the nearest in-person resources should an acute need arise between sessions. Telepsychology is well-suited to ongoing therapy and assessment; it is not a substitute for in-person care in an acute situation, and the local plan covers that gap. Standard practice for cross-state telehealth done well.
From first call to feeling shifts
Evaluate
You reach out via the form or call (630) 474-1006. We schedule an intake session, 55 minutes, in-person or telehealth — to confirm PSYPACT eligibility (state participation + physical-location verification) and scope the clinical work.
Match
By session two or three, we agree on the modality and confirm fit. Joe is the only PSYPACT-credentialed psychologist at the practice. If after the early sessions the work isn’t landing or in-person care would fit better, we discuss referral options including providers in your home state.
Treat
Weekly 60-minute secure-video sessions, then we taper as the work consolidates. Most adult therapy runs 6 to 9 months; testing engagements complete in about a month. We confirm state participation at every booking; if you cross into a non-participating state, we pause until you’re back in compact territory.
Gryzbek Therapy Services provides secure telehealth therapy to clients throughout Illinois, from our Naperville home base out to communities across DuPage, Will, Kane, and Cook counties. Through PSYPACT, our psychologists are also able to offer online therapy to clients in many other participating states.

MODALITY
PSYPACT telehealth vs local in-person care.
PSYPACT removes the licensing barrier for cross-state telehealth with Dr. Joe Gryzbek; in-person care is conducted at 1979 N Mill Street for Illinois residents.
Why PSYPACT exists — and what it doesn’t solve
Inherited patterns
PSYPACT was developed by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) to address an unintended consequence of state-by-state psychology licensure — that patients lose access to credentialed psychologists across state lines for reasons unrelated to clinical capacity. The compact resolves the regulatory friction without lowering credentialing standards. Forty-plus states participate; the list grows.
High-achiever cost
PSYPACT allows telepsychology and limited temporary in-person practice (up to 30 days per year). It does not allow long-term in-person practice outside Illinois — that still requires state licensure. It does not allow practice in non-participating states. And the credential is held by the individual psychologist, not by the practice — which is why only Dr. Joe Gryzbek at Gryzbek Therapy is PSYPACT-credentialed.
Unprocessed life transitions
Telepsychology research consistently shows comparable outcomes to in-person care for most mental health conditions. For some patients — those with limited transportation, busy schedules, or social anxiety about office visits — telehealth removes engagement barriers that improve consistency. The clinical case for telepsychology stands on its own; PSYPACT is the regulatory layer that makes it possible across state lines.
Neurobiological wiring
Telepsychology is not appropriate for acute mental health crisis. PSYPACT-credentialed care is well-suited to ongoing therapy, assessment, and diagnostic work; it is not a substitute for emergency in-person evaluation. That’s why every PSYPACT patient at Gryzbek Therapy gets a local-care plan mapped at intake — the safety net under the cross-state work.

Frequently asked questions about PSYPACT telehealth
How long until I feel better?
Most adult therapy runs 6 to 9 months — same as in-person. Diagnostic and ADHD evaluations complete in about a month, faster than the field average. Sessions are 60 minutes via secure-video; cadence is typically weekly, tapering as the work consolidates. The clinical duration is driven by the presenting concern, not by the telehealth format.
Will my insurance actually cover this?
We’re in-network with BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, United Healthcare PPO, and Medicare. For other plans, we bill out-of-network benefits on your behalf — you don’t submit anything yourself. Coverage depends on your specific plan. We verify benefits at intake so you know what you’re walking into.
What if I don’t click with my therapist?
PSYPACT is a credential held by individual psychologists, not by practices. Only Dr. Joe Gryzbek at Gryzbek Therapy is PSYPACT-credentialed. Other Gryzbek clinicians are licensed for Illinois patients only. If after early sessions Joe isn’t the right fit, we discuss referral options including PSYPACT-credentialed psychologists in your home state.
How do I know if my state participates?
Check the current PSYPACT participating-states list at the official PSYPACT website. We also verify at consultation — the list updates as new states join the compact. As of 2026, 40+ states and the District of Columbia participate. You must be physically located in a participating state at the time of each session.
Do I have to be a resident of a PSYPACT state?
No. You must be physically located in a participating state at the time of each session — not necessarily a resident. Travelers, dual-residence patients, and graduate students often use PSYPACT for continuity while moving between states. Brief travel between sessions is fine; living long-term in a non-participating state requires referral to a locally-licensed provider.
What if I cross state lines during treatment?
You need to be in a PSYPACT-participating state at the time of session. Brief travel between sessions is fine. If you move long-term to a non-participating state, we discuss referral to a locally-licensed provider — PSYPACT can’t cover that gap. We confirm state status at booking, every session.
Will you prescribe medication?
No. We’re a therapy and assessment practice — no prescribers on staff. PSYPACT regulates therapy and assessment, not prescribing. If medication consultation is part of the recommendation, we refer to a psychiatric prescriber in your local area. The PSYPACT-credentialed clinical work continues alongside the local prescribing relationship.
Can other Gryzbek Therapy clinicians provide PSYPACT services?
No. PSYPACT is a credential held by individual psychologists, not by practices. Only Dr. Joe Gryzbek at Gryzbek Therapy is PSYPACT-credentialed. Our other clinicians (Tim Paquette, Ellice Kang, Shelby Ruman) are licensed for Illinois patients only. We’re explicit about this scope on every PSYPACT touchpoint.
