Can you be supervised remotely in New Hampshire?
Mostly, with some limits. What shapes this: video status not stated.
- Video supervision: Individual and group supervision are defined as the supervisor in the "physical or virtual presence" of the supervisee(s) (Psyc 301.01(b)-(c)); postdoc year requires ≥1 h/week and ≥50 h face-to-face individual supervision, with records showing "whether in person or via electronic medium" (Psyc 302.05(a)(2),(b)(1)). But Psyc 302.03(e) says supervision "shall occur at the site where the applicant delivers services".
- Supervisor licensed in New Hampshire? other: supervisor must be licensed as a psychologist "in the state where the supervision takes place" (Psyc 302.03(c)(1)); for an NH-based postdoc this means NH
- Supervisor credential: Licensed or certified psychologist who assumes professional and legal responsibility (Psyc 302.05(a)(3)); no NH supervisor registration found

Recent and pending changes
Psyc 306.01 jurisprudence exam rule effective 6-30-26; Psyc 302.04/302.05 readopted eff 3-5-24; Psyc 303.04 (temporary licensure via Plc 305) eff 5-6-25; RSA 329-B amended by 2025, 161 (eff. Sept. 13, 2025).
Where the rules are unclear
New Hampshire’s own documents disagree or are silent on these points. Ask the board if they affect you:
- Psyc 301.01(b)-(c) and 302.05(b)(1) accept virtual/electronic supervision, but Psyc 302.03(e) requires supervision "at the site where the applicant delivers services": is fully remote postdoc supervision creditable?
- Where does supervision "take place" (Psyc 302.03(c)(1)) when supervisor and postdoc are in different states by video?
