The state of Iowa has agreed to restore the licensing privileges of a psychologist who was deemed a threat to public safety in 2023.
The Iowa Board of Psychology agreed last month to a gradual lift of restrictions placed on the license of Angela Perkins of College Park Neuropsychology in Cedar Rapids.
Under the terms of a recent, board-approved order, Perkins will be able to return to practice on a part-time basis under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. If she complies with the terms of both the order and a previously imposed probationary agreement, she will be allowed to see patients on a full-time basis within four months.
The reinstatement follows a February 2023 order by the board that included a set of allegations against Perkins that the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals and Licensing publicly disclosed for the first time this week in response to an Open Records Law request.
