Thank you Senators and NPA members who joined us for breakfast yesterday in Lincoln! We appreciate the opportunity to advocate for psychologists and behavioral health in Nebraska through direct, informal conversation with our representatives in the Nebraska Legislature. Pictured above are NPA members who drove from western Nebraska for the event and then went to the Capitol to visit the offices of senators who were unable to join us for breakfast. NPA member advocacy is important and very much appreciated! See more pictures HERE.

NPA February Member Spotlight
Sarah Hoff, PhD
I joined NPA after moving back to Nebraska in 2016 and becoming fully licensed. Why did you join? I joined because, as an early career psychologist, I wanted to have a community of fellow psychologists and find ways to get more involved. I enjoyed opportunities to meet others, such as Meet and Greets, ECP dinners, and trainings.

Have you addressed all the telehealth compliance requirements beyond PSYPACT that can differ from state to state?
Many psychologists underestimate the complex web of state regulations beyond PSYPACT authority, often assuming that licensure alone ensures compliance. In reality, up to 20 additional state-specific regulations exist, each with nuanced requirements that could impact the legality of your services. Navigating these complexities has been challenging, with little practical guidance on identifying, tracking, and complying with nuanced differences across jurisdictions.
