What must be included in all professional advertisements by licensed psychologists?

In Florida, all professional advertisements by licensed psychologists must include the words "Licensed Psychologist." This requirement helps ensure that the public is clearly informed about the professional’s credentials and regulatory status. It establishes transparency and fosters trust, ensuring that clients understand they are seeking services from a licensed individual who is recognized by the state to provide psychological services. Including this specific designation protects the public from unqualified practitioners and promotes accountability among those who are licensed.

While elements like a full name and qualifications, personal photographs, and business locations may contribute to a comprehensive advertisement, they are not mandated by the regulations in the same way that the "Licensed Psychologist" designation is. Therefore, the emphasis on the title underlines its importance for both ethical practice and legal compliance in the psychology profession.
