About Alabama Behavioral Health Schools

23 schools in Alabama run 29 CACREP counseling programs, 2 marriage, couple and family counseling programs, 29 CSWE social work programs and 5 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 15 cities. 11 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

What you need after graduating depends on the license. For Alabama, see counselor licensure in Alabama, MFT licensure in Alabama, social work licensure in Alabama and psychologist licensure in Alabama.

Some credentials don't run through these degrees at all. For Alabama, see substance abuse counselor requirements, peer specialist certification, PMHNP practice authority and behavior analyst licensure.

Verify before you apply

Program names and accreditation statuses come from the CACREP and CSWE directories (as of September 27, 2026) and APA's 2025 list of accredited programs. Accreditation can change, so verify it with the accreditor (CACREP, CSWE, APA) and check admission details and costs with the school.
