OCPA Member Benefits

Public listing- When an internet search is conducted, the public finds OCPA as one of the top websites on all search engines.
Our Directory Search is robust- The public may conduct a directory search on the OCPA website and find your personal page. Your personal page may contain your photo, specialties, contact info and office locations. In addition, you can link your outside personal website directly to your OCPA personal page.
Low fee mental health services listing- This is a specific directory search so that the public may find low fee services quickly and easily. If you offer low fee services, be sure to indicate this on your profile.

Listserv- Our listserv makes it easy to connect with colleagues for announcements, requests, and questions. For example, postings can include notices about OCPA events, referral requests, ethical questions, or concerns about legislative initiatives.
Social events- We hold many social events for OCPA members throughout the county. Check the home page and calendar for the latest events.

Just for you- Grow your strengths and support your weaknesses by partnering with another psychologist. Learn more about whatever topics interest you, create deeper relationships with fellow psychologists, and perform at a higher level. Those who mentor and are mentored have been shown to become more confident, competent, and knowledgeable.
Easy to set up- We regularly invite members to join our one-on-one mentorship program, and keep a tally of those looking for mentors and mentees. Shoot us an email, and we'll do the work of finding a matching mentor for you.
