What is PsyPact?
PSYPACT stands for the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact. It’s an agreement among participating U.S. states that allows licensed psychologists to practice telepsychology (via video/phone) and offer temporary in-person services across state lines without having to obtain a full license in each state. Dr. Butts and Dr. Frye are both authorized to practice remotely via the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) and in person via Temporary Authorization to Practice (TAP).
