PSYPACT Participating States

What PSYPACT Means for You

If you live outside of New York, New Jersey, or North Carolina and you’ve been looking for a DBT skills group you can join from home, PSYPACT makes that possible.

The Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) allows licensed psychologists to practice telepsychology across participating state lines. At Kind Mind Psychology, this primarily means our DBT skills groups — which run three evenings per week — are accessible to clients in over 40 states. If you live in a PSYPACT state, you can join our groups without needing to find a local provider.

Kind Mind’s DBT groups cover all four skill modules — mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness — over a six-month cycle. They are neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC affirming. You don’t need a BPD diagnosis to join — DBT skills are effective for emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, ADHD-related emotional intensity, impulsive behavior, and relationship difficulties. All group members must be in concurrent individual therapy, either at Kind Mind or with an outside provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
