Core offering

Missouri Psychological Association (MOPA) is a nonprofit professional association that represents licensed psychologists in Missouri. It provides tiered membership, APA-approved continuing education (CE) programs, state and federal legislative advocacy, an ethics and risk management consultation service, a members-only ListServ, a public Find-a-Psychologist referral directory, publications, a career/job center, and the annual MOPA Conference.

Product overview

MISSOURI PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (MOPA) operates as a professional association for Missouri psychologists rather than a software product company. The organization's service portfolio centers on member services including advocacy (state and federal legislative representation), continuing education (through the CE & Events Center offering APA-approved webinars and the Annual Conference), professional development tools (Ethics and Professional Practice Consultation, ListServ networking, Career Center), and member communications (MOPA Navigator Newsletter, Progress Notes, Missouri Psychologist Magazine, Ethics in Focus publication). The association also provides a Find-a-Psychologist Referral Service for the public and advertising/sponsorship opportunities for partners. Membership is offered in multiple tiers for active psychologists, affiliates, students, and retired professionals, with benefits including CE discounts, insurance assistance, and job listings. The core products work together through the Wild Apricot membership management platform which handles member logins, renewals, event registrations, and the CE Events Center for continuing education delivery.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Psychological Association (APA): The national parent/umbrella organization of which MOPA is a state affiliate. APA operates at the national scope (advocacy, CE approval, insurance, publications), while MOPA executes the state-level chapter role — directly comparable in mission, partially overlapping in offerings.
• California Psychological Association: Large state psychological association with the same APA-affiliate operating model, advocacy + CE + referral services structure, and member-tier economics — illustrative of MOPA's category scaled to a much larger state.
• Texas Psychological Association: A larger-scale APA state affiliate with a comparable service portfolio (advocacy, CE, ethics consultation, publications, insurance partnerships), demonstrating the broader template MOPA operates within at a meaningfully larger scale.

Emerging players

• Association for Psychological Science (APS): National scientific/research-focused psychological organization that competes with APA-affiliated associations like MOPA for research-oriented psychologist members, particularly academic and scientist-practitioner psychologists.
• National Register of Health Service Psychologists: National credentialing and advocacy organization for health service psychologists with overlapping advocacy, referral/Find-a-Psychologist, and continuing-education functions — partially competes with MOPA for the same psychologists' engagement and dues dollars.

Regional players

• Kansas City Psychological Association: Regional psychological association for the Kansas City area and another formal MOPA strategic collaborator. Operates a similar membership/CE/advocacy model but at a metro level overlapping with MOPA's western-Missouri footprint.
• Ozarks Area Psychological Association: Regional psychological association covering the Ozarks region of Missouri and MOPA's formal strategic collaboration partner. Same professional-association mission, narrower geographic scope, and direct member-base overlap risk.
• St. Louis Psychological Association: Regional psychological association serving the St. Louis metro and one of MOPA's formal strategic collaboration partners. Directly comparable by virtue of overlapping geographic reach inside Missouri and member-base overlap with MOPA.

Direct peers

• Kansas Psychological Association (KPA): Kansas state psychological association and MOPA's formal dual-membership channel partner. KPA is the most directly comparable organization — same constituency (state psychologists), same APA-affiliate model, same advocacy + CE + membership services structure.
• Illinois Psychological Association: Adjacent-state psychological association with the same APA state-affiliate structure, advocacy+CE+membership service mix, and similar constituency of licensed psychologists in a Midwestern state.
