Nevada licenses Psychologists through the Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners. 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 Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners.
Doctorate in psychology from an APA-accredited (or equivalent) program at a regionally accredited institution. Verify program-approval and coursework requirements with the Board.
Pass the EPPP (reportedly a passing score of 500) and the Nevada state examination on laws, regulations, and ethics (reportedly 75% to pass). Verify required exams and passing scores with the Board.
Approximately two years of supervised training (reportedly about 2,000 predoctoral and 1,750 postdoctoral hours). Verify exact hour and supervision 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.
Nevada has reportedly enacted PSYPACT and is listed as a participating/effective member, allowing interjurisdictional telepsychology and temporary in-person practice. Confirm current status against psypact.org and verify with the Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners.
Nevada 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 Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners.
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 Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners.
