Description

The opportunities to practice across state lines are increasing quickly and are dramatically changing the practice landscape.

It’s a great way to expand your reach or even offer specialized services. The possibilities to build the practice you want are as diverse as the clients you aim to serve.

To take advantage of these opportunities mental health professionals must first identify the vitally important legal, ethical, and practice issues that are involved. However, navigating the relevant federal and state laws, licensing rules, and codes of ethics can be a challenge for any therapist… So we made it easy for you!

This practical seminar will make it easy for you to identify the nuances of legally and ethically starting your cross-state practice.

Join ethics expert Terry Casey, PhD, who has helped thousands of therapists understand interstate compacts as he explains these complex issues, walks participants through the essential issues, and provides key resources for all attendees. You’ll learn:

  • What you need to know about providing teletherapy to (or from) a state where you are not licensed
  • The five special provisions for legally practicing across state lines
  • Interstate compacts - the huge implications for private practice and organizations
  • How to avoid the pitfalls of teletherapy across state lines
  • And much more!

Participants will leave equipped to make determinations about when interjurisdictional practice is legal and ethical (and when it is not).
