Finding a psychologist where you live is not always easy. But as a PSYPACT credentialed psychologist, I’m able to work across state lines via telehealth in 43 participating PSYPACT states. The result is a more flexible, responsive model of care for those who need support wherever they are. If interested, please use the form below, or just contact me directly on my Psychology Today profile which is linked here. If you’re curious about what PSYPACT is, the “What is PSYPACT” below should answer some of your questions.

Cities like Atlanta, Washington D.C., Houston, Chicago, Detroit, and Phoenix, are just six metropolitan areas where Dr. Cole can treat clients with the PSYPACT Authorization.

What are the benefits of working with a PsyPACT psychologist?

  • Greater Access to Care Since PsyPACT removes many geographic and licensing barriers, you can choose from a wider array of qualified psychologists—even if none are available where you live.

  • Consistent Standards All PsyPACT psychologists follow uniform practice standards, ensuring you receive high‑quality, ethical care regardless of the provider’s home state.

  • Strong Privacy Protections PsyPACT psychologists use secure, HIPAA‑compliant telehealth platforms, giving you confidence that your sessions and personal information remain private.

So, what is PSYPACT?

  • PSYPACT is an interstate agreement that allows licensed psychologists to provide services across state lines in participating states.

  • If you live in a PSYPACT‑participating state, you can legally work with a PSYPACT‑authorized psychologist even if they are located elsewhere.

  • Services are provided according to the laws and standards of your home state, ensuring your protection and continuity of care.

  • For clients, PSYPACT simply means you can choose the right psychologist for you, without being limited by state borders.
