A candidate who fails the CSPE must wait six months before retesting, but must do so within one year in order to prevent eligibility from lapsing. Applicants must submit transcripts from all institutions where they took graduate coursework. The Board asks that candidates become familiar with California laws and regulations before submitting applications.
California utilizes a LiveScan fingerprinting process. A criminal record must be reported. However, it will not necessarily preclude licensure; some convictions are judged by the Board to be not substantially related to the psychologist role. A psychologist who is licensed in another state or Canadian province may practice in California only on a very limited basis without obtaining a California license; up to 30 days is allowed in a year.
A psychologist who takes up residence in California or submits a licensing application is allowed to practice up to days while going through the licensing process. The date is figured from the earlier of the two events. The psychologist will need to complete the criminal background check, take the required classes in substance abuse, child and spousal abuse, human sexuality, and aging, and take one of two examinations.
A psychologist who has held a license for five years will not be required to take the California Psychology Supplemental Examination. I have doctoral degree from another country. Are foreign degrees acceptable to the Board? Yes, they may be. An applicant for licensure trained in an educational institution outside the United States or Canada shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board that he or she possesses a doctoral degree in psychology that is equivalent to a degree earned from a regionally accredited university in the United States or Canada.
These applicants shall provide the Board with a comprehensive evaluation of the degree performed by a foreign credential evaluation service that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services NACES. Applicants, Licensees and Registrants have the option to apply for either a license or renewal a license, or change their address or request duplicate licenses or pocket registrations or request license certification using the DCA BreEZe Online Services.
If a psychologist is licensed in another state or province, can they practice in California prior to obtaining a CA license? Are there any requirements for what needs to be included on the business card of a psychological associate? Keep in mind that psychological associates are not independent practitioners and are prohibited from having an independent practice.
Therefore, psychological associates must not misrepresent or mislead the public regarding their unlicensed status and lawful scope of practice. If you have a business card, you must clearly indicate your title as "Psychological Associate. This should dispel the possible perception that you have an independent practice.
Does the public have access to a licensed psychologist's personal information such as a home address? The Board of Psychology is required to provide an address of record for all licensed psychologists. If the psychologist has chosen to use his or her home address as their address of record, this is the address that will be given to anyone who calls to verify their license.
Therefore, if you do not want your home address disclosed, you may obtain and use an alternate address such as a business address or a post office box as your address of record. I have heard that psychologists are required by law to post in their offices some sort of sign or notice about consumer complaints.
The law states, "To facilitate consumers in receiving appropriate psychological services, all licensees and registrants shall be required to post, in a conspicuous location in their principal psychological business office, a notice which reads as follows": NOTICE: The Department of Consumer Affairs receives questions and complaints regarding the practice of psychology.
