About Virginia Behavioral Health Schools

29 schools in Virginia run 42 CACREP counseling programs, 3 marriage, couple and family counseling programs, 24 CSWE social work programs and 11 APA-accredited psychology programs, spread across 21 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 Virginia, see counselor licensure in Virginia, MFT licensure in Virginia, social work licensure in Virginia and psychologist licensure in Virginia.

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