NYSPA members have access to a special rate of $200/hour with a defense law firm concentrating in healthcare law & practice related issues, including malpractice, professional liability, defense, as well as corporate, transactional, employment and audit defense. Members will also receive access to quarterly webinars and newsletter content by the firm for NYSPA.

The Committee on Ethical Practice is available to handle NYSPA member questions without cost. Psychologists may find themselves facing questions about the often-confusing application of the APA Code of Ethics and practice issues in their work. Questions such as multiple relationships, conflicts of interests, reporting ethical violations, discussing limits of confidentiality, range of competence, and conflicts while working within organizations or supervision, (to name a few), can be answered by this longstanding NYSPA Committee of seasoned veteran psychologists.

FOR NYSPA MEMBERS ONLY

All inquiries on matters of ethics should be directed to NYSPA Office (518-437-1040). A staff member will forward your name and telephone number to a member of the Committee on Ethical Practice, who will return your call within 48 hours.

If you are a patient looking to submit a complaint against a NYS psychologist, please contact the NYS Office of the Professions.

It depends. It is best to reach out directly to the State Board for Psychology of the state where the patient is residing to find out if you are able to provide services to that patient.
