TESU has a BA in Psychology, not a BS, and you could be most of the way there already.
Charter Oak has a BS in Psychology and you certainly have enough RA credit to make it work. Not sure if their psychology degree can be tested out of (I think so? But possibly not since they don't accept Coopersmith).
Excelsior also has a BS in Psychology. They do accept Coopersmith, IIRC. They also have no application fee if you have taken 2 courses at Sophia or 2 courses at Study.com. They don't accept as many courses from SDC and other alternate sources as TESU does but they do have a discount (when you transfer in 2 SDC or Sophia courses) if you take at least 12 credits through them instead of the bare minimum of 7. This can make them more cost-effective than TESU in some cases.
The best thing to do, IMO, would be to sign up at Sophia and take a couple of classes real quick to allow you to waive Excelsior's app fee. I would suggest Intro to Psychology and maybe Algebra because you will need those no matter which school you choose. Approaches to Studying Religions would be faster than Algebra, though, and might be a better choice. Once you've taken those courses at Sophia, apply to TESU and Excelsior. You can also apply to Charter Oak if you want. This will let you see what they think of your classes and how close you are to their Psychology degree.
