Скачать или смотреть When Psychologists Face the Board: Legal Support That Matters

Behind every psychologist’s dedication to clients lies a professional risk that many underestimate until it’s too late: board oversight. As licensed psychologist and practicing attorney Dr. Brian Russell explains in this powerful episode, the difference between protecting your license and losing it often comes down to having the right legal support at the right moment.

For psychologists, the regulatory environment carries unique vulnerabilities. Unlike other professions where missteps might only result in reputational damage, psychologists answer to regulatory boards with the authority to suspend or end their practice entirely. This can be especially challenging with a common misconception floating around: many psychologists mistakenly view their licensing boards as professional associations there to provide support and assistance. In reality, these boards function as regulatory enforcement agencies, focused on identifying compliance violations, not advocating for practitioners.

Discover crucial insights for safeguarding your license as a psychologist throughout our conversation. We examine why attempting to respond to a complaint on your own, even if you believe you’ve done nothing wrong, can quickly escalate into serious consequences. Dr. Russell sheds light on the risks of relying on AI tools for regulatory advice, the necessity of carrying strong professional liability insurance, and the critical importance of working with an attorney who understands both the law and the realities of psychological practice. Most importantly, he shares step-by-step guidance on what to do the moment a complaint letter arrives. These actions that could determine whether your case is resolved quickly or spirals into a drawn-out investigation.

Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned practitioner, we offer essential knowledge for protecting both your license and your livelihood. The regulatory landscape grows more complex every year, but with the right preparation and legal support, you can practice with confidence.
