Having the flavor of New England, a relatively small state in terms of geographic area with 2008 estimated total population of just 1.3 million (www.statehealthfacts.org); this state is home to 370 professionals who have graduated from psychology schools in New Hampshire (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics).
Licensure requires an advanced degree from an accredited online institution or from one of the psychology schools in New Hampshire. This involves at least three years of full-time graduate study. For fields of psychology practice other than School Psychologist, candidates must have either a Ph.D. related to psychological sciences or a Psy.D. Practice as a School Psychologist requires a degree of Ed.S.
In addition to joining the American Psychological Association’s (APA) national organization, New Hampshire Psychologists benefit from local involvement in APA’s local affiliate chapter, the New Hampshire Psychological Association (NHPA). Offering its members special workshops and continuing education opportunities, the NHPA also acts as an advocate for its members, educating government agencies at the state and federal levels on legislative issues that are important to the chapter’s membership. The NHPA also hosts a convention each year. For information and details on becoming a member, you can find them on the web at www.nhaspweb.org, or contact them at:
