Preparation for Licensure

lynch school of education counseling psychology

The program is designed to qualify candidates for membership in APA and Division 17 (Counseling Psychology) and to provide the pre-doctoral educational requirements for licensure as a psychologist in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and for inclusion in the National Register of Health Care Providers. (Please note that licensure requirements in Massachusetts include an additional year of post-Doctoral supervised experience. Licensure requirements vary across states, so we encourage prospective students to review the licensing guidelines in the states that they might consider. In addition, the National Register of Health Care Providers requires post-doctoral training in order to be listed as a registered provider. We urge interested students to consult with the National Register to learn about the specific post-doctoral training requirements.)
