About Colorado Behavioral Health Schools

17 schools in Colorado run 20 CACREP counseling programs, 1 marriage, couple and family counseling program, 16 CSWE social work programs and 12 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 12 cities. 5 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

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

Some credentials don't run through these degrees at all. For Colorado, 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.
