Georgia licenses Psychologists through the Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists. Licensure for independent practice generally requires a doctoral degree in psychology (PhD, PsyD, or EdD) from an accredited program, a period of supervised professional experience, and a passing score on the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). Verify current licensing, PSYPACT, supervised-experience, renewal, and continuing-education requirements directly with the Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists.
Doctoral degree (PhD/PsyD/EdD) in psychology, reportedly from an APA-accredited program, is required for the Licensed Psychologist credential. Verify exact accreditation and coursework requirements with the Board.
Passage of the EPPP (ASPPB) plus a Georgia jurisprudence examination and, reportedly, an oral examination is required. Verify current exam requirements and passing standards with the Board.
Approximately 3,000 hours of supervised experience, reportedly including at least 1,500 hours of postdoctoral supervised experience. Verify exact hour and timing requirements with the Board.
The state has enacted PSYPACT (the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact). Psychologists who hold an E.Passport or IPC can practice telepsychology into, and provide temporary in-person practice in, this state and other PSYPACT states without a separate full license. Some enacting states have an effective date before they begin participating.
Georgia has enacted PSYPACT and is listed as a participating/active member jurisdiction. Confirm current status against the official PSYPACT member list and verify with the Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists.
Georgia has enacted PSYPACT. License portability may be available by endorsement/reciprocity, through ASPPB credentialing (e.g., the CPQ or Certificate of Professional Qualification), and — for cross-state telepsychology — through PSYPACT where the state participates. Verify endorsement eligibility and compact participation with the Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists.
Telepsychology practice is governed by state law and board rules; in PSYPACT states, an E.Passport authorizes telepsychology into other PSYPACT states. Verify current telehealth requirements with the Georgia State Board of Examiners of Psychologists.
