Mentoring Program

The SCPA Mentoring Program matches early career psychologists with experienced psychologists who will assist them with practice and/or treatment issues. The mentors volunteer their time; there is no charge for this program. Mentors and mentees usually meet in person or on the phone; they may meet once a month with phone calls as needed or more often. The Coordinator contacts the early career psychologist to find out what they are looking for help with and if they have any specific requests regarding the mentor's practice orientation, etc. and then finds someone they think will be a good match.

Please log in to access the mentoring program.

Legal Plan

Dr. David Trueman, a mental health attorney who formerly practiced as a psychologist, offers a Legal Plan to SCPA members. The cost is $250 for the year and entitles you to an hour of consultation with Dr. Trueman. You also get a reduced fee for any additional time you may need.
