Texas Association of Psychological Associates​




Representing All Masters-Degreed Psychology Professionals in Texas
​​​​The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (“BHECl”) was created by the 86th Legislature in 2019 following consecutive reviews of its member boards by the Sunset Advisory Commission.

​​The Council is designed to play a central role in the regulation of behavioral health services and social work practice in Texas and is guided by the seasoned wisdom of its member boards in abiding by its mission and philosophy.

​The Council consists of these boards: 
• ​Texas State Board of Examiners of Marriage and Family Therapists
• ​Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselors
• ​Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists 
• ​Texas State Board of Social Worker Examiners.
       The Council regularly updates its website, http://www.bhec.texas.gov, to reflect the Rules, news, forms, etc. for each of the four member Boards.

Sign up for email updates regarding the Council and its member boards on the BHEC website here.

The Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists remains an independent  board under the umbrella of the BHEC.  The TSBEP can be accessed through the BHEC ​​Home Page or directly at https://www.bhec.texas.gov/texas-state-board-of-examiners-of-psychologists/index.html​​

The updated Con​solicited Rule Book for the licensees of the TSBEP is on their website or can be accessed at https://www.bhec.texas.gov/wp-content/uploads/ 2022/03/PSY-February-2022-v2.pdf
It is always a good idea to review the Rules​ on a regular basis.
