Complaints/Discipline
To ensure the safety of the public, it is the Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners' (Board) responsibility to investigate any appropriate complaint against an individual over whom the Board has jurisdiction. The Board's jurisdiction is limited to licensed Psychologists, an individual who is provisionally licensed or registered with the Board, an applicant for licensure or registration, an individual engaged in the Practice of Psychology without a license, or an individual who holds themself out as a Psychologist without a license. The Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners does not have jurisdiction over complaints against behavioral health or medical practitioners that are licensed by other Boards.
Before filing a complaint with the Nevada Board of Psychological Examiners against a Psychologist, Psychological Assistant, Psychological Intern, Psychological Trainee, or an Applicant, please confirm that the individual is licensed or registered by, or is an applicant with, this Board (which can be done on our website here). If the complaint is against an individual engaged in the unlicensed practice of Psychology, please refer to how the practice of Psychology is defined in NRS 641.025. If your complaint concerns a court-ordered evaluation or court-ordered psychological services, please review Appendix A and Appendix B of the Board's Complaint, Discipline, and Remediation Policy for the additional information you are required to provide before your complaint can be reviewed.
Please be advised that if, upon review and consideration of a complaint over which the Board has jurisdiction and a determination is made to proceed with an investigation, due process requires that the complaint be forwarded to the individual named in the complaint for their response.
