2 - GET GOOD ADVICE WHEN YOU NEED IT

Need a professional consultation? Just call us. You are not alone and can avoid professional pitfalls by accessing the resources of NHPA. Our members value timely, helpful advice and can count on NHPA to assist them in finding the resources they need. At no cost, as a member of NHPA, you can consult with our Ethics Committee, Director of Professional Affairs, Behavioral Healthcare Advocacy Committee, or knowledgeable leadership team on any number of matters, and get answers quickly. By joining NHPA, you have more resources available to help you find answers to your questions on issues related to the business of practice, insurance and third-party payors, licensing laws, and regulations. NHPA has staff and volunteers who can direct you to resources that you need when you need them.

3 - BUILD YOUR NETWORK

Want to collaborate with colleagues and belong to a community of professional psychologists? NHPA is the place for you to do both. With our Members-Only interactive listserv, you can stay connected with other psychologists, learn about what they are doing in their professional practices, and discuss a wide range of topics. This is a 24/7 resource that you can use when you become a dues-paying member of NHPA, whenever you have a question or need information and input from your psychologist colleagues. In addition, a large part of managing risk while dealing with challenging client issues is being engaged in on-going peer collaboration meetings. NHPA events and workshops allow you to get to know colleagues on a personal and professional level so you can join or create peer collaboration groups with like-minded people.

4 - STAY INFORMED

Want to make sure you know what’s happening in the practice of psychology and how it affects your practice? Want to broaden your knowledge base? Want to learn about upcoming CE events? NHPA gives you the information you need to know, delivered right to your inbox with a weekly NHPA News in Brief.  Every month we do a "deeper clinical dive" with a researched comprehensive article on a relevant topic in the field of Psychology.  

5 - GROW YOUR BUSINESS

Looking for referrals to help grow your psychology practice? NHPA can help. Our members can join the NHPA Find-a-Psychologist Service, a program that puts consumers in touch with member practitioners. The sophisticated search engine on the Find-a-Psychologist web page enables consumers to search by location, gender, degree, services offered, and age groups served. Also, as you connect with other psychologists on the listserv or at CE events, you will be gaining valuable referral information for your clients. Bottom line: joining NHPA is good for your business.
