New Mexico licenses Psychologists through the New Mexico Board of Psychologist Examiners (Regulation and Licensing Department). 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 Mexico Board of Psychologist Examiners (Regulation and Licensing Department).
Doctoral degree from an APA-accredited or Board-approved equivalent program. Verify program-approval and coursework requirements with the Board.
Pass the EPPP (ASPPB) at the doctoral level (reportedly a scaled score of at least 500) and the New Mexico jurisprudence examination. Verify required exams and passing scores with the Board.
Reportedly at least two years (about 3,000 hours) of supervised experience, including roughly 1,500 predoctoral practicum hours and 1,500 postdoctoral hours. Verify exact hour and supervision requirements with the Board.
The state has not enacted PSYPACT. Psychologists must hold a license issued by this state to practice here, and an E.Passport or PSYPACT authority held elsewhere does not authorize practice in this state.
New Mexico has not enacted PSYPACT and is generally listed as a non-member with no active PSYPACT legislation; psychologists must hold a New Mexico license to practice there. Confirm current status against psypact.org and verify with the Board.
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 Mexico Board of Psychologist Examiners (Regulation and Licensing Department).
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 Mexico Board of Psychologist Examiners (Regulation and Licensing Department).
