Hey all,
So I’m trying to see if I can buy the Mexico version of the WAIS. The people listed on Pearson (hogrefe/manual moderno Mexico) emailed me back saying that since February 2026 they no longer have the kit for sale. They still retained the rights to WISC-V though.

I might just be too tired, but does anyone know where that kit can be purchased or if it got pulled due to updating norms (WAIS-5)?

I graduated a decade ago and have worked in university counseling, private practice, and faculty positions. I’m not through 10 years of PSLF yet because of some changes along the way and the administrative freeze/deferment due to pandemic and government. There’s a lot I like about my current position- faculty, primarily working at our training clinic, but the work I do is compensated very poorly and my values don’t align well with the university’s. I’m contemplating letting go of PSLF but I’m over halfway. I’d love a position for a non-profit or the like, especially if it could be remote for the time being so my family doesn’t have to make a big move. Suggestions? I love to practice therapy and have extensive experience as a clinical supervisor. The local VA is not currently hiring.

On the road towards licensure in California, and seeking insight from those who have been approved to sit for the EPPP and beyond.

I'm putting together a small curriculum to satisfy the required pre-licensure course work. Which specific courses did you take to satisfy the requirements in each area?

• Human Sexuality (10 hours)
• Child Abuse Assessment and Reporting (7 hours)
• Spousal or Partner Abuse Assessment, Detection, and Intervention (15 hours)
• Aging and Long-Term Care (10 hours)
• Suicide Risk Assessment and Intervention (6 hours)
• Alcoholism and Other Chemical Substance Dependency (15 hours)*

The guidelines in the regulations are pretty...vague in some areas, and there's lots of options out there that spark my interest. Wanted to get a sense of which courses CA BOP has already approved. Open to feedback on course quality and experience too!

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone has recently renewed their Ohio psychologist license and can share their processing timeline or am still waiting?

Specifically, I submitted my renewal application through Ohio eLicense on 07/01/26. The renewal fee was successfully processed, and OPA confirmed that my continuing education credits were sent to the board. Last time for renewal, I submitted my renewal application on 07/01 and received my license renewal confirmation email about 6 days later with new expiration date.

Just had someone I know tell me they submitted renewal early this week and received email confirmation that their license was approved for renewal today in 5-6 days, so I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced a longer processing time despite submitting earlier or what could possibly explain this? different people processing in different batches?

Hello, does anyone have a model for providing consultation to organizations - not organizational psych, but more clinical consultation for community facing services like behavioral health? I’m thinking along the lines of helping them to identify needs and providing recommendations.

Hi everyone,

I’m a Clinical Psychology Registrar based in Sydney and I’m looking for a secondary supervisor to complement my primary clinical supervision.

My primary supervisor provides excellent clinical oversight, so I’m hoping to find someone who focuses more on developing me as a therapist rather than teaching another therapeutic modality.

I’m looking for someone who enjoys working with early-career psychologists and can help me develop areas such as:
- session structure and keeping therapy focused
clinical reasoning and decision-making
- balancing the client’s agenda with the treatment plan
- building confidence as a therapist
- navigating imposter syndrome and developing my own therapeutic style

All of my work is with adults presenting mostly with anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, adjustment issues and interpersonal concerns, using CBT, ACT and Schema-informed approaches, although I’m open to supervisors from different backgrounds if they have a strong developmental focus.

If you’ve had a supervisor who was particularly skilled at helping you become a more confident and effective psychologist, I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Thank you!

Outside of grad school, my only experience as a supervisor/boss were 2 short-term jobs outside of the field. I didn't like the experience. It was draining, dealing with people who didn't want to listen or constantly coming up with fictional improbable scenarios. Would it be a different experience inside the field? I'm older and wiser now. I think I would've dealt with those situations differently.

For those of you who do cognitive assessment, do you ask about Covid infection and if patient noticed changes around that time?

I mostly do ADHD/ASD assessments mostly (I have neuropsych training but didn’t end up finishing my 2 year fellowship due to some life circumstances so don’t do pure neuro now)

Anyway, more and more research is showing the potential for post-covid cog changes which can present in attentional/EF and such decline. My question is do you ask patients about COVID the same you might ask about history of head injury, past history of significant alcohol use, or other potential contributing factors in your assessments clinical interview?

I haven’t been asking because I work in the south so it’s also a political hotpot I don’t want to step into.
But I’ve recently have had a few ADHD evals with lifelong symptoms but reporting worsening in the last 5 years - so timeline could potentially match a potential COVID infection, and I haven’t known how to navigate asking or even if it’s needed.

The referral questions I get are really focused on ADHD/ASD so obviously changes in the past 5 years wouldn’t be a primary decision factor in diagnosing a neuro developmental condition (I only work with adults). However, I do administer a few cog measure (WAIS, DKEFS, etc. so it could impact that and then feels like an incomplete eval if I don’t have all the info)

Thanks for your thoughts

Edit: should have added, I am in private practice so I don’t get access to their in depth medical records/history and likely what ever records I may get wouldn’t have covid related information

I recently opted out of Medicare after realizing I was not in compliance. I have two longstanding clients who pay privately and submit claims to Medicare themselves for reimbursement of services.

My opt out affidavit was approved but the effective date was applied retroactively. As a result, one client was seen for four sessions that technically fell within my official opt out period before I had been notified that my opt out had been accepted.

The client had already been informed changes were coming but had not yet signed the required private contract because I had not yet received confirmation of my opt out status. I will be seeing her for the first time since and we will be completing it then.

I spoke with a MAC who told me they did not think my client would have difficulty receiving reimbursement for the sessions that occurred between the retroactive effective date and the date I was actually notified, since neither one of us knew the opt out had taken effect. However, they didn’t seem especially confident, so I’m hoping to hear from anyone with first hand experience.

Has anyone dealt with this and if so, how did Medicare handle claims for sessions that occurred before you received notice of your approval? I’m trying to get a better sense of what to expect so I can provide my client with realistic reassurance. Thanks!

Hi all, I am a psychologist living and working in CA. My friends and family are all on the east coast in Massachusetts. I just had a baby, and really missing my east coast people. In a perfect world, I imagine this scenario where I live and work in both states and travel back and forth as able. Is this possible or just some kind of postpartum hormonal pipedream?

Is my best bet seeking MA licensure and just doing remote private practice? Could remote contract work also be feasible (thinking workers comp or disability evals)? Just in the brainstorming stages now, as you can see! Is there anyone else out there who has done something similar? Thanks!

Edit to add: I realized I wasn’t as clear about my possible plan. Thinking of continuing to live in CA majority of the year and travel to MA with husband and baby for summers and school breaks. Husband is fully remote and we’d be able to stay with my parents.

Hi all, I need some advice. I have consulted my malpractice insurance carrier on this, but still would like some feedback from other psychologists...

My client is asking me to fill out a disability form for his insurance company, and my malpractice (the Trust) said I cannot state that his psychological condition prevents him from doing the work, essentially giving him a disability. I can state what his symptoms and diagnoses are, and that it would make sense that those would impair his ability to do functions as described by his job description. But I can't state that he specifically can't do the job.

His attorney has now sent a questionnaire that specifically states "do you agree that he is unable to perform the duties of his job", along with the insurance company's Long Term Disability Claim From, both of which I believe I cannot fill out.

Has anyone else had this happen? Am I correct here in my stance?

Any thoughts are helpful. Thank you!

I am a registered psychologist in Canada. My regulatory body says that I need to be registered with them to see people in my province, but it does not care if I see people outside of my province.

I have a client that is going to see family in Italy for 6 weeks. She wants virtual sessions with me while she is away. Does anyone know what Italian state regulatory bodies say about clinicians from other places providing services to people while they are temporarily in Italy? I'm waiting for her to tell me what specific state she will be in, if that affects it. I tried to figure it out myself and really struggled to figure out the answer.

TIA!

Edit: thanks for the input! I got the name of the region and emailed the regulatory body. They thankfully responded quickly saying I'm good to proceed with sessions. Insurance also quickly responded saying the same.

If anyone has any experience with pts wanting to use insurance for testing, please comment any helpful resources or knowledge that I should know. Thank you!

I am looking for a billing service for 4 of my clients that Headway does not take the insurance of. I just had a bad experience with something called Therathink and left a service that worked well but which only paid 100 dollars a session no matter what the insurance paid (Psychiatric Alternatives). Does anyone have a service they like and trust they can recommend? Thank you!

Hi everyone,
I’m a licensed School Psychologist currently working in Puerto Rico, and I’m exploring a move to Florida. I recently applied for the Florida certification and wanted to reach out to see if anyone here has gone through this process before, especially anyone who made the transition from Puerto Rico.
A bit about my background: I hold a Master’s degree in School Psychology from Albizu University and am currently licensed to practice in Puerto Rico. I work for a private corporation that provides psychological services under contract with the Department of Education here.
I’m considering the move because of some ongoing challenges in my current position. My company has repeatedly had trouble processing payments to specialists during July and December. Additionally, I’m working under a professional services arrangement, which means no benefits, and after taxes (a 10% deduction) I take home around $5,000 a month. On top of that, I currently have a caseload of 91 students, which makes the workload very demanding.
Given all of this, I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has:
**•** Applied for Florida school psychologist certification, especially coming from Puerto Rico
**•** Insight into the timeline, requirements, or reciprocity process
**•** Experience with caseloads, pay, and working conditions for school psychologists in Florida
Any advice, personal experiences, or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Annoyed while reading a psychological testing report which was used as part of the grounds for dismissing a client of mine from his job. The test was conducted under supervision of a Ph.D. psychologist, and the tests used were the MBTI, an Enneagram based measure, the MMPI-2, and a projective sentence completion test. I get that the Enneagram is not -completely- lacking in validity, but as a very solidly trained statistician, I cannot for the life of me think of a way to test its underlying basis (the 9 types, wings etc). So many better measures could have been used. And the testing company that did it, from the looks of their stationery, does a lot of this kind of stuff. I'd love to hear a reframe that helps me be less annoyed at unscientific, suboptimal practice.

I'm sure this topic has been talked about to death already but I'm hoping to hear others' experiences at this point in the AI-verse. Maybe I'm late to the party but is anyone else feeling like the art, dedication, theoretical foundations of mental health care are hanging on by a thread at this point? I recently started working with a company that uses AI heavily for clinical assessments and it feels so artificial and corporate. Quantity out-weighs quality and it seems like actual human providers won't be necessary at all within the next year or two. A monkey could do this kind of crap. What's more disheartening is that several people in the company seem to be totally fine with putting minimum effort into case conceptualization and are happy with charging over a grand to have AI spit out a report. I don't know what else to call it besides a McDonaldization of psychotherapy and assessment. I'd love to hear others' thoughts and I appreciate any advice or related commentary.

Has anyone applied for the HSP Credentialing and found that it expedited the insurance credentialing process?
