Bring Better Mental Health Care to Your State
Medical Psychologists are trained to provide both psychotherapy and medication — but most Americans don’t have access.
Only SEVEN of the FIFTY States allow the necessary privileges!
You can help change that today.
Why Mental Health Care Isn't Working
- Primary care doctors prescribe most mental health medications during very brief visits.
- Psychiatry has largely shifted to medication‑only care.
- Psychotherapy is often separated from medical treatment.
Patients Deserve Better Options
Most primary care doctors do not have the time to fully evaluate emotional or psychological causes of distress.
Most psychiatrists no longer provide psychotherapy — even though therapy improves medication outcomes.
This leaves patients choosing between rushed prescriptions or talk therapy without medical support.
Medical Psychologists Offer A Better Model
Medical Psychologists are uniquely trained to:
- Provide psychotherapy
- Prescribe medication when appropriate
- Treat the whole person — not just symptoms
Since 2002, medical psychologists have safely prescribed medications in the United States. Seven states (Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Utah) already allow this model but the other 43 states do NOT!
