New Hampshire licenses Psychologists through the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists (Office of Professional Licensure and Certification). Licensure for independent practice generally requires a doctoral degree in psychology (PhD, PsyD, or EdD) from an accredited program, a period of supervised professional experience, and a passing score on the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). Verify current licensing, PSYPACT, supervised-experience, renewal, and continuing-education requirements directly with the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists (Office of Professional Licensure and Certification).
Doctoral degree in psychology from an accredited program with required coursework areas. Verify program-approval and coursework requirements with the Board.
Pass the EPPP (ASPPB) at the doctoral level (reportedly a scaled score of 500) and the New Hampshire jurisprudence examination. Verify required exams and passing scores with the Board.
Approximately 3,000 hours of supervised professional experience, reportedly split between a predoctoral internship (about 1,500 hours) and postdoctoral supervised experience (about 1,500 hours). Verify exact hour and supervision requirements with the Board.
The state has enacted PSYPACT (the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact). Psychologists who hold an E.Passport or IPC can practice telepsychology into, and provide temporary in-person practice in, this state and other PSYPACT states without a separate full license. Some enacting states have an effective date before they begin participating.
New Hampshire has reportedly enacted PSYPACT and is listed as a participating/effective member, enabling interjurisdictional telepsychology and temporary in-person practice. Confirm current status against psypact.org and verify with the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists.
New Hampshire has enacted PSYPACT. License portability may be available by endorsement/reciprocity, through ASPPB credentialing (e.g., the CPQ or Certificate of Professional Qualification), and — for cross-state telepsychology — through PSYPACT where the state participates. Verify endorsement eligibility and compact participation with the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists (Office of Professional Licensure and Certification).
Telepsychology practice is governed by state law and board rules; in PSYPACT states, an E.Passport authorizes telepsychology into other PSYPACT states. Verify current telehealth requirements with the New Hampshire Board of Psychologists (Office of Professional Licensure and Certification).
