How to make a complaint about a member
Written complaints concerning the professional conduct of an IAPST member may be submitted to info@iapst.org. IAPST reviews complaints under its Code of Ethics and Bylaws, including the confidential process for receiving, investigating, and resolving ethics-related complaints against members.
Membership in IAPST is not a license to practice. Complaints about licensed practice should also be directed to the member's licensing board or regulatory authority.
The Therapist Directory is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. See Find a Therapist for what a directory listing does and does not mean.
