Question About Psychology Licenses
Hi all. I have a question that maybe someone here can help me with.
I know of a psychologist that I have huge red flags about. As far as I am aware they are not currently practicing or having 1-1 sessions with clients, but they are basing their whole business on their license. I have tried to look up their license in the State they live in and I can't find them anywhere. It is a huge concern to me.
I was just wondering if there are places you would suggest I look to see whether this psychologist is legit or not? If they are not licensed and are saying they are, is this against the law?
It concerns me because I worry about them taking advantage of very vulnerable people with the business they have.
I think it's reasonable to contact the licensing body. They should be able to inform you. It's also typically licensing bodies that take legal action regarding right to practice or right to title.
