Association of Psychologists
of the Northwest Territories
Our association
The APNWT is a not for profit professional organization made up of Registered and Provisional Psychologists in the NWT. The APNWT is registered under the Societies Act, NWT. The APNWT is dedicated to the development and professional practice of psychology within the NWT for the benefit of all Northerners.
Founded in 1981, the APNWT has focused on the development of psychology as a professional practice in the northern context. The association allows psychologists to network, expand skills, and advocate for the profession.
Any psychologist working in the NWT, virtually or in-person, is encouraged to join the APNWT.
The APNWT is a member of the Council of Professional Associations of Psychologists (CPAP).
The APNWT does not regulate psychologists or handle licensure, but rather supports psychologists and the development of the profession.

Acknowledgement
APNWT members acknowledge that they practice across the lands of the Dene, Inuvialuit, and NWT Metis peoples. The profession of Psychology has historically played a role in the colonization and marginalization of Indigenous people. As APNWT members, it is our responsibility to acknowledge harm done and ground our work in reconciliation.
