Ask yourself
Are my health service providers maintaining active certification, registration, and licensure in accordance with our guidelines and state licensing requirements?
Are we continually struggling with backlogs due to decreased personnel or funding?
Are we interested in reducing our costs and increasing time for other duties and responsibilities?

Rely on the Deemed Source
- Verify that your psychologists hold an approved doctoral degree in psychology, internship, postdoctoral supervised experience, active unrestricted license(s), and board certification. The credentials you need are obtained directly from the primary sources.
- Expand or recruit to your network by locating psychologists by geographic location with specific areas of expertise, languages spoken, hospital staff membership, and ages served.
- Access certification number, certification date, and re-certification date.
38 Areas of expertise
Psychologists credentialed by the National Register may list five areas of expertise. In
order to help you locate psychologists who meet your specific
needs, you may choose one or more of the 38
areas of expertise listed below. These are areas
of practice chosen by the psychologist, based on their specific
education and training experience.
We offer general categories (psychological assessment,
individual psychotherapy, couples psychotherapy, family
psychotherapy, and group psychotherapy). Next are more specialized
services (e.g., clinical neuropsychological assessment and
play therapy) or problems (e.g. depression). We often provide
examples for terms that may be less familiar. We offer general categories: specialized assessment and intervention categories.Wherever possible,
we tried to use commonly understood terminology, rather
than the diagnostic label.

Please
note: Although the National Register conducts primary
source verification of education, training, licensure, and
board certification, it is beyond the scope of our ability
to collect primary source documentation regarding the education
and training necessary to list areas of expertise. As a
safeguard, the Registrant is required to attest to the accuracy
of the information provided. Most Registrants have documented
the education, training, and experience which are the basis
for listing the area of expertise as part of their application. However, not all Registrants
have listed areas of expertise.
