Everyone is checked before they appear.
No self-attestation and no paid badge. Verified means a person reviewed the evidence.
Your doctoral degree, the states you’re licensed in, and each license number and expiry date.
Against the state licensing board, with the NPI registry as a cross-check where it helps.
Only then are you listed. Each license is reviewed separately, and expired licenses drop off automatically.
What “verified” means
A person has reviewed your professional identity, your doctoral degree and at least one in-date license, checked against the state board. You’re listed and matched only in states where a reviewed license is on file. Members who aren’t verified yet can’t see anyone else.
Who can join
Doctoral-level psychologists (PhD, PsyD, EdD) and psychiatrists (MD, DO) licensed in the US. PsyAlliance isn’t open to the public or to master’s-level clinicians.
