Vermont licenses Psychologists through the Vermont Board of Psychological Examiners (Office of Professional Regulation, Secretary of State). 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 Vermont Board of Psychological Examiners (Office of Professional Regulation, Secretary of State).

The state has enacted PSYPACT (the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact).

Some enacting states have an effective date before they begin participating.
