✓ Yes — compact transfer
Yes. Maine is a member of the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), so a Licensed Psychologist holding a multistate/compact license can practice in ME without re-applying. PSYPACT is robust for psychologist spouses — covers both telehealth and temp in-person across nearly 40 states.
