Online therapy across state lines: NM
Psychologists (PSYPACT)
NM does not currently participate in PSYPACT, and it has no out-of-state telehealth-registration pathway for psychologists, so a psychologist must be licensed in NM to see you by video. We only list providers whose NM authority we can verify. Primary source: psypact.gov.
Counselors (Counseling Compact)
The Counseling Compact is not yet issuing privileges for NM (many states have enacted it but are not yet operational — enacted is not issuing). Counselors need a NM license to see you by video. Primary source: counselingcompact.gov.

Common questions about therapy across state lines in NM
Can a psychologist in another state see me by video in NM?
Not on an out-of-state license alone. NM does not currently participate in PSYPACT and has no out-of-state telehealth-registration pathway for psychologists, so a psychologist must be licensed in NM to see you by video. 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 NM?
It depends on your therapist's license and NM's rules. A psychologist can continue by video only if they are licensed in NM, because NM does not participate in PSYPACT. A licensed counselor (LPC) can only if they are licensed in NM, because NM is not yet issuing Counseling Compact privileges. 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 NM let out-of-state counselors practice via the Counseling Compact?
Not yet. NM is not currently issuing Counseling Compact privileges — enacting the compact is not the same as issuing privileges under it. A counselor must be licensed in NM to see you by video. This is general information about how these rules work, not legal advice about your situation.
How can I verify a therapist is licensed in NM?
Check the NM 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.
