In order to file a complaint, you must first verify that the psychologist you wish to file a complaint against is a member of the APA. The American Psychological Association is a voluntary membership organization. APA does not have jurisdiction over individuals who are not members of our organization and therefore we cannot process complaints against nonmembers. Please contact our membership office to determine if the psychologist is a member. Please be prepared to provide the psychologist’s name, city and state of practice, the street address and telephone number of their practice when possible.
Call Membership at (800) 374-2721 or (202) 336-5580
