Established in 1947, the Georgia Psychological Association (GPA) is the state association for all psychologists working or residing in Georgia. Our mission is “Advancing the profession of psychology in Georgia”. Our membership of over 800 psychologists and trainees provides critically needed behavioral health services to consumers and organizations in the state of Georgia.  

As a professional association, GPA serves its members by providing continuing education programs for psychologists to keep abreast of the developments in their field and maintain their license to practice psychology in the state of Georgia.  The association helps coordinate and communicate members’ interests in advocacy at the state level, maintains contact with the Georgia Board of Examiners of Psychologists, and stays engaged with issues impacting the profession at the national level.  Once a year the association offers a conference which allows psychologists to participate in continuing education training, network with colleagues and connect with industry resources.  Additionally, membership in the association provides formal leadership training, mentoring opportunities and a referral search to grow their businesses- in addition to the many informal opportunities for psychologists to connect.

To qualify, members must hold a doctoral degree in the field of Psychology.
