PSYPACT Therapy FAQs
What Is PSYPACT?
PSYPACT (Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact), an interstate agreement among participating states and US territories, allows licensed psychologists with PSYPACT authorization to deliver telepsychology services across state lines without needing a separate license in each state.
Why was PSYPACT established?
Modern living often requires relocation across state borders, which previously hindered continuity of care. PSYPACT was developed to address this. This innovative compact expands access to care by reducing regulatory barriers while preserving ethical standards and public safety. Furthermore, it makes consistent therapy more accessible for those who frequently travel or relocate.
Is PSYPACT legitimate?
Yes! PSYPACT is a thoroughly regulated program. The agreement is legally enacted between state psychology boards with full support of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards.
Which states are included in PSYPACT?
Currently, 43 states and territories are included in PSYPACT, with more in the process of joining. The official PSYPACT interactive map provides clear information about participating states and territories.
Can I still meet with my therapist when travelling to other states?
A PSYPACT-authorized therapist can continue to provide care so long as you are in any of the participating states or territories.
Can I continue therapy when my therapist is traveling?
Therapy can continue without interruption if both you and your therapist are currently in PSYPACT states or territories.
How can I check if my therapist is PSYPACT-authorized?
The official PSYPACT lookup tool provides clear information on whether your therapist is properly authorized.
How secure is PSYPACT therapy?
All PSYPACT sessions are held via secure telehealth platforms. Furthermore, HIPAA compliance is fully maintained, ensuring all patient information is securely stored and handled.
Is in-person therapy or teletherapy better?
Both approaches have unique advantages. In-person therapy may prove better for individuals without private access to technology or who are navigating certain mental health concerns. Teletherapy’s greatest advantage is how you can slot it into a busy life from the comfort of your home, making it more accessible for a wider population.
