Common questions about therapy across state lines in MN
Can a psychologist in another state see me by video in MN?
Yes. MN participates in PSYPACT, so a psychologist who holds an active PSYPACT APIT (Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology) is generally authorized to see you by video while you are in MN, even without being licensed there. What matters legally is where you are located during the session. This is general information about how these rules work, not legal advice about your situation.
Can my therapist keep seeing me if I move to MN?
It depends on your therapist's license and MN's rules. A psychologist can continue by video if they hold PSYPACT APIT authority, because MN participates in PSYPACT. A licensed counselor (LPC) can if they hold a Counseling Compact privilege valid in MN, because MN issues them. What governs is where you are during the session, so tell your therapist before your first appointment after you move. This is general information about how these rules work, not legal advice about your situation.
Does MN let out-of-state counselors practice via the Counseling Compact?
Yes. MN issues Counseling Compact privileges, so a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who holds a privilege valid in MN is generally authorized to see you by video without being separately licensed there. This is general information about how these rules work, not legal advice about your situation.
How can I verify a therapist is licensed in MN?
Check the MN licensing board's primary-source license lookup, or use a Kairn profile, which shows the date each license was verified. Kairn checks every license against primary sources — the NPPES registry and state boards — and verifies PSYPACT authority against verifypsypact.org.
