is there an advantage to having multiple associate’s degrees?
Nine+ years later, I realize I took so many courses then that I’m 3 classes shy from an associate’s in Psychology, and 2 from an associate’s in Languages (French). I’m thinking to go for them if they’re so close. What do you think??

Frankly, unless you can parlay your multiple assoc degrees into a meaningful credential it would be of negligible value to complete them.
It’s good that you’ve found the motivation to do additional course work but I would recommend that you focus your efforts on bettering your current position or advancing to a new one.
Perhaps completing additional course work could make you eligible to get a professional certification of some type. You could also work toward a certification(s) WITHOUT the coursework and make better use of your time.
Another possibility – if you truly feel that your past coursework is of substance – would be to look into getting papers published. You might have gathered enough expertise through course work and thru work experience to get papers published. This could beef up your resume as much as multiple assoc degrees.
If you completed both degrees I would commend you for your accomplishments. What I would expect to see next is a pursuit of a Bachelor’s Degree in at least one of those areas.
