About Florida Behavioral Health Schools

40 schools in Florida run 35 CACREP counseling programs, 4 marriage, couple and family counseling programs, 37 CSWE social work programs and 17 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 27 cities. 12 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

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

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