In order to file a complaint, you first have to verify that the psychologist/counsellor you wish to file the complaint against is a member of the Jamaican Psychological Society (JamPsych). The JamPsych is a voluntary membership organization. We do not have authority over Psychologists/Counsellors who are not members of JamPsych and therefore we cannot process complaints against non-members. 

 

If the clinician is not a member of JamPsych and is found to be in violation you will be redirected to the Council of Professions Supplementary to Medicine (CPSM; the licensing body). 

 

You may contact our membership office to determine if the Psychologist/Counsellor is a member. Please be prepared to provide the psychologist’s name, parish of practice, and telephone number of their practice when possible.
