I am currently on the candidate registry and working full-time for NSHA (since Nov. 2020). I looked at the FAQs for Candidate Registrants on the NSRP website. It indicates that a registrant is permitted to work in the private practice of another psychologist. I have some follow-up questions to this point:Must the psychologist be doing private practice full-time? Or may I practice in a psychologist’s private practice, who is practicing part-time?Yes, you can work in a private practice where the psychologist is practicing part-time. If you take this additional position, please ensure that the Employer section of your future supervision reports is updated and that you update the employment contact information with NSRP. This can be done by contacting NSRP or logging into NSRP portal and updating your information.
Although one’s work setting can change, of course every registrant needs to ensure that they remain within their area of practice that is approved by NSRP.
Is it permissible to work in this psychologist’s private practice space, even if he is not on site? (but if he can still provide evaluative feedback to my NSRP Supervisor following, e.g., review of assessment work or meetings with myself re: progress with clients).
Yes as long as the psychologist feels they can provide adequate supervision/consultation to support your practice. NSRP would ask that you ensure that the owner and NSRP supervisor have regular communication, so that the NSRP Supervisor has any information that may be required as part of the supervision process.
