Welcome

Welcome to the California Psychological Association! 

CPA is the singular state-wide organization for psychologists in the state of California, and is the only organization that protects the license to practice psychology in our state.

CPA also provides information to the public and the media about the many kinds of work psychologists do, how to know when it might be useful to see a psychologist, and how to find a psychologist. 

CPA has 21 regional chapters and 8 speciality divisions, and is comprised of 4,000+ members that include  psychologists who work in private practice, teach, work in organizations, and contribute to the health of our communities.  Find out more.
