Psychology Licensure Requirements by State

Many professional psychologists are charged with the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of others, and in order to effectively and responsibly care for others, they need to know how to diagnose and treat a myriad of physical, mental, and emotional issues. Every state in the country takes the well-being of their citizens very seriously, and because of that, professional psychologists need to go through a rigorous licensure process to prove they are qualified to care for others.

Not all state licensure processes are the same, and trying to keep up with all the different regulations and requirements can be quite difficult, which is why we went ahead and built detailed licensure outlines for each state that includes education requirements, experience requirements, and necessary paperwork and procedures.
