PSYPACT 

I’m excited to announce I now hold Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) under PSYPACT!

 

PSYPACT stands for “Psychology Compact” and is essentially an agreement between states designed to increase accessibility of therapy services for the public. It allows psychologists to practice telepsychology and/or provide temporary in-person face-to-face services across state boundaries legally and ethically without having to become licensed in every state.

 

In other words, PSYPACT allows authorized psychologists the ability to practice across state lines safely and legally.

In order to hold APIT under PSYPACT, I went through an additional background certification process and am required to complete yearly continuing education courses in the practice of teletherapy. 

 

What are the potential benefits for you?

 

We can work together even if you don’t live in Colorado as long as the state you are in at the time of our session(s) has enacted PSYPACT legislation (see list below). This is particularly helpful for students who spend summer and holiday breaks away from Colorado!

 

You have the option to continue therapy when traveling to a state that has enacted PSYPACT legislation. This is especially helpful for undergraduate and graduate students who often spend school breaks in their home states away from Colorado.

 

If you move away from Colorado, you’ll have the option to continue therapy without having to start over with a new therapist.
