What does an active license allow a psychologist to do?

An active license allows a psychologist to engage in legal psychological practice, meaning they can provide psychological services that are recognized and regulated by state laws. This includes conducting assessments, providing therapy, and offering consultations in various settings such as private practice, clinics, or hospitals. To maintain their active status, psychologists must adhere to the ethical guidelines and legal requirements set forth by the Florida Board of Psychology, ensuring that they serve the public effectively and responsibly.

Having an active license signifies that the psychologist has met the necessary educational qualifications, passed relevant examinations, and continues to meet ongoing education requirements. This legal status not only legitimizes their practice but also protects clients by ensuring that the practitioner is competent and accountable within the framework of the law.
