For the first time in nearly 20 years, NYSPA has revised its membership dues model to make it simpler, clearer, and better aligned with the value members receive. This change is the first step in a broader effort to strengthen the foundation and value of NYSPA membership for all psychologists in New York. Over the next year, we’ll continue refining the structure and adding new benefits based on member feedback.

Every NYSPA membership includes core benefits such as:

  • Access to Synapse, NYSPA’s online professional community

  • Weekly Friday Flash newsletter and legislative updates

  • Opportunities to earn more than 30 CEs per year

  • Member discounts on CEs, advertising, the Career Center, and convention registration

  • Representation in statewide advocacy and professional affairs

Additional benefits—such as free legal and ethics consults, Division and SIG memberships, and directory listings—vary by membership class.
