Which states allow you to practice clinical psychology with only a masters degree?

Question

Which states allow you to become licensed clinical psychologists with only a masters degree, and not a phD or a psyD? I've been researching graduate schools and apparently there are a couple of states that allow you do this, but I haven't been able to find out which ones. If someone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it! =)

Answer 1

Many the key word is licensed. Most states allow for a masters level clinician to practice as long as they are licensed.

Answer 2

The practice of clinical psychology requires a license in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many other countries. Although each of the U.S. states is somewhat different in terms of requirements and licenses, there are three common elements:[22]

Graduation from an accredited school with the appropriate degree
Completion of supervised clinical experience
Passing a written examination and, in some states, an oral examination
All U.S. state and Canada province licensing boards are members of the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) which created and maintains the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). Many states require other examinations in addition to the EPPP, such as a jurisprudence (i.e. mental health law) examination and/or an oral examination.[22] Most states also require a certain number of continuing education credits per year in order to renew a license, which can be obtained though various means, such as taking audited classes and attending approved workshops. Clinical psychologists require the Psychologist license to practice, although similar licenses can be obtained with a masters-level degree, such as Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and Licensed Psychological Associate (LPA).
