Coming Soon - Psychological Practitioner

Published on Jul 3, 2025

The Virginia Board of Psychology has initiated an exempt regulatory action, as mandated by the 2024 General Assembly, to establish a new license for master’s-level psychologists under the title “Psychological Practitioner.” The proposed regulation is currently under review by the Office of the Attorney General and the Governor’s Office as part of the regulatory approval process.

At this time, the Board does not have an estimated date for when the new license will become effective, as the timeline is dependent on the completion of the required executive branch reviews.
 
For more information on the requirements, please review the Psychological Practitioner Information Handbook
