Happy Independence Day LPAs!

If you meet criteria, login in the the NC Psychology Board website and terminate your contract(s). Make sure you check the box that indicates you are also applying for an independent license.
Complete the supervision termination contract as you would typically.
You will be asked to attest to a skills qualification paragraph relative to neuropsychology and forensics. We do not have any further information on this and we have asked the Board for clarification. Any further questions you may have should be directed to the Board.
Once you have submitted this termination / application, you will also need to complete a new supervision contract stating you do no longer require a supervision contract. The form cannot be completed online at this time and can be found here: Revised Supervision Contract_0925
The completed form should be emailed to the Board

In North Carolina, psychology has both doctoral-level and master's-level practitioners. Professional counselors, clinical addiction specialists, clinical social workers and marriage and family therapists require only a master's degree. Of the five allied professional mental health care disciplines, only master's-level psychologists currently requires career-long supervision. The adjacent table reflect the number of licenses per year for each discipline for 2013 through 2018, inclusive, and the growth of licensees in percentage and members. The table indicates a 4% decline in LPAs, a 6% increase in LPs while the other four disciplines have grown from 24% to 165%. The time is now for a call to action to preserve our profession and our practice.
