Built for New York psychologists

Psychology entities face extra scrutiny — from NYSED pre-approval and naming to county publication and bank documentation — all while you plan clinical services like psychotherapy, assessment, and consultation. We create PLLCs that reflect your scope, support in-person and telepsychology within NY, and scale as you add clinicians or locations.

Expect a clear, stepwise process: name vetting → NYSED pre-approval → Articles filing → six-week publication → bank-ready package. We provide plain-English updates and realistic timelines so you always know what’s next.

Psychology PLLC FAQs

Practical answers for New York psychologists — ownership, naming, telepsychology, supervision, publishing, and timelines.

Do psychologists need NYSED pre-approval before forming a PLLC?

Yes. Psychology PLLCs typically require review by NYSED’s Office of the Professions (State Board for Psychology) before the Department of State will accept the filing. We prepare a profession-specific pre-approval package to reduce objections and delays.

Who may own or manage a Psychology PLLC in New York?

Ownership and professional control are generally limited to appropriately licensed professionals who can lawfully provide the PLLC’s services. For psychology practices, that typically means licensed psychologists. We help align members/managers with New York’s professional practice rules.

What naming rules are unique to psychology practices?

Names must be professional, include the required designator (e.g., “PLLC”), and avoid restricted or misleading terms (e.g., “clinic,” “center,” or “institute”) without additional approvals. We provide compliant, brand-forward options that clear NYSED faster. See naming conventions for common pitfalls.

Can I provide telepsychology under my PLLC?

Many psychologists serve NY clients via telepsychology. Formation does not change licensure boundaries — you must follow NY practice rules and payer policies. We craft purpose language appropriate for psychotherapy and assessment that supports in-person and virtual care within NY.

Can I supervise trainees, externs, or post-docs under a PLLC?

Supervision and training have their own rules distinct from entity formation. While you may supervise trainees or limited permit holders where permitted, ownership and professional control of the PLLC remain with licensed professionals. For complex supervision models, we suggest consulting legal/regulatory guidance.

Is the six-week newspaper publication included in the price?

Yes. We coordinate the two-newspaper publication, manage proofs and affidavits, and file the Certificate of Publication — fully included in the $885 flat fee.

What will I receive for banking, credentialing, and leasing?

You receive your EIN confirmation, filed Articles of Organization, publication affidavits, and the Certificate of Publication — the standard “bank-ready” set typically requested by banks, credentialing teams, and landlords.

Can a Psychology PLLC operate multiple locations or a testing center?

Often yes. Many practices add locations or operate a dedicated assessment/testing site. We set up your formation to support growth and explain county publication implications if offices are added in other counties.

How long does a Psychology PLLC typically take?

Timelines vary. NYSED pre-approval can add weeks or months depending on volume; the newspaper publication then requires six consecutive weeks. We begin immediately, provide realistic timelines, and keep you updated at each milestone.
