About Massachusetts Behavioral Health Schools

28 schools in Massachusetts run 8 CACREP counseling programs, 30 CSWE social work programs and 15 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 19 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 Massachusetts, see counselor licensure in Massachusetts, social work licensure in Massachusetts and psychologist licensure in Massachusetts.

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