I'm in OK, and we've got some of the strictest requirements for the psych professions... Fielding's recertification to Clinical Psych isn't even offered for residents of my state, even though its an APA approved program.
With a MA I would go for LPA- Licensed Psychological Associate. I was accepted and planned to enter Liberty's MA in Professional Counseling (60 hour) since it met the requirements for every state I would consider living in but since I am active duty military it would take me about 4 years to do it since I don't want to use my G.I. Bill for it or pay out of pocket. I think I have decided to get a different 30 hours MA in the mean time while I decide what I want to be and then if I care enough about it, get out and do a full in residence MA/Doctorate for Psychology.
