What does interjurisdictional telepsychology allow psychologists to do?

Interjurisdictional telepsychology facilitates psychologists in practicing across state lines using telepsychology. This means that licensed psychologists can provide psychological services to clients who are physically located in different states than where the psychologist holds their license. This is particularly significant in expanding access to mental health services, as it allows for flexibility in treatment delivery, accommodating clients in remote areas or those who may not have access to specific services in their own state.

The framework for interjurisdictional telepsychology includes legal agreements and cooperation between different states to ensure that psychologists are adhering to the regulations and standards of both their home state and the state where the client is located. By having this capability, psychologists can effectively reach and assist a broader population, leveraging technology to overcome geographical barriers in mental health care delivery.
