Classes of Membership

SCCPA offer a variety of membership levels appropriate to the needs of different applicants.

FULL MEMBER: Holder of a doctorate in psychology or an equivalent degree, or a psychologist licensed to practice in California. Full Members have all rights and privileges of SCCPA membership including the right to vote and serve on the Board of Directors. Note that Board positions also require CPA membership because SCCPA is a chapter of CPA. Full members may be eligible to have their profile included in the publicly searchable Find a Psychologist web site feature. Click here for eligibility requirements.

Annual fee: $175.

NEW DOCTORATE MEMBER: Holder of a doctorate in psychology granted three years or less prior to membership. New Doctorate Members enjoy the same rights and privileges as Full Members at a reduced membership fee. New Doctorate members may be eligible for their profile to be included in the publicly searchable Find a Psychologist web site feature. Click here for eligibility requirements.

Annual fee: $95.

ASSOCIATE MEMBER: Holder of a master’s degree in a mental health discipline (e.g., MFT, LCSW, LPC, etc.) or a related degree (e.g., MD, JD, etc.). Associate Members have all rights and privileges of SCCPA membership except the right to vote or serve on the Board. Associate members are not eligible to have their profile included in the publicly searchable Find a Psychologist web site feature.

Annual fee: $100.

LIFE MEMBER: Any member who (1) is age 65 or older and has been a member of SCCPA for twenty (20) years, or (2) is a SCCPA member who, regardless of age or length of membership, is unable to work due to a permanent disability. Life Members pay fifty percent (50%) of the dues for the membership class that they held prior to becoming Life Members, and they retain the rights and privileges of the membership class that they had held.

STUDENT MEMBER: Must be enrolled in a graduate psychology program or engaged in a post-doctoral psychology training program. Student Members have all of the rights and privileges of SCCPA membership except the right to vote or serve on the Board; however, one Student Representative duly elected to serve on the Board by the members of CPAGS shall have one vote on the Board. If CPAGS does not elect a Student Representative, then any student member of SCCPA may run for the position on the SCCPA ballot.

Annual fee: $20
