About New Hampshire Behavioral Health Schools

7 schools in New Hampshire run 4 CACREP counseling programs, 5 CSWE social work programs and 2 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 5 cities. 2 of them train for more than one kind of license on the same campus.

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

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