PSYPACT in Louisiana: psychologist routes

Name: PSYPACT route ruleset for Louisiana
Creator: CompactRoute

No compact route · verified July 23, 2026

No — Louisiana is not a PSYPACT state.

Full state license: $500-$1,500

Louisiana is not modeled as a PSYPACT jurisdiction, so PSYPACT cannot authorize telepsychology there. To see patients located in Louisiana, a psychologist needs a telehealth-only registration (where the state offers one) or a full Louisiana psychology license.

Last verified July 23, 2026. Informational only — state boards and compact commissions control eligibility, timing, fees, and scope.

Working routes into Louisiana

Full state license

$500-$1,500

Board-specific eligibility and issuance are required. This is a planning fallback when no modeled compact privilege or telehealth registration covers the state; confirm requirements and fees before filing.

Timeline: Commonly 8-16+ weeks depending on state board, background checks, transcripts, and verifications.

Louisiana PSYPACT FAQ

Is Louisiana part of PSYPACT?

No. Louisiana is not among the 42 PSYPACT jurisdictions in this ruleset, so the PSYPACT telepsychology route does not apply to patients located in Louisiana.

How can a psychologist practice into Louisiana then?

The route is a full Louisiana psychology license ($500-$1,500), unless Louisiana later adds a telehealth registration or joins PSYPACT.

How long does a full Louisiana license take?

Commonly 8-16+ weeks depending on state board, background checks, transcripts, and verifications.
