District of Columbia Psychological Association

The District of Columbia Psychological Association (DCPA) strives to advance the science and practice of psychology, and the well-being of psychologists, other mental health professionals and the public. To meet the needs of the DC region as well of the development of members, DCPA launched 15 committees that focus on topics such as diversity, ethics, students, clinical practice and healthy work environments.

The Trust is proud to recognize the DCPA as a valued participant in our State Endorsement Program. Providing support to state associations and their members is important to us at The Trust.

Through this partnership, DCPA benefits from funding provided by The Trust for continuing education, while members get access to a library of on-demand webinars, state-sponsored workshops, and a variety of insurance programs.

Members can also show their support for DCPA – and earn a 15% discount on their Trust Professional Liability policy for two policy renewals – when they purchase one of the following Ethics and Risk Management Webinars. Be sure to select “District of Columbia” as your Trust-endorsed state.
