PSYPACT

The Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) is an agreement that allows licensed psychologists to provide services across state lines legally and ethically.

Telepsychology: Psychologists can offer remote services to clients in other PSYPACT-participating states. To do this, they must obtain the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT), which requires an E.Passport Certificate from the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB).

PSYPACT aims to reduce regulatory barriers, increase access to mental health care, and ensure that psychologists meet defined standards and competencies when practicing in other states. You can find more details on the official PSYPACT website.
