Board of Behavioral Science - Home
The Iowa Board of Behavioral Science evaluates the qualifications of applicants for licensure and grants licenses to those who qualify.
The Board establishes rules and regulations to ensure the integrity and competence of licensed Mental Health Counselors and Marital and Family Therapists and investigates complaints for unprofessional conduct.
The Board is the link between the consumer and the licensed Mental Health Counselor and Marital and Family Therapist and, as such, promotes the public health, welfare and safety.
Licensees are responsible for meeting all licensure requirements and should review the rules carefully and frequently. Select Laws and Rules listed on the left and scroll through the Rules for detailed information about Licensure Definitions, Licensure Renewal, Reactivation and other important content specific to this profession.
The Board is now accepting applications for licensure as a Behavior Analyst or an Assistant Behavior Analyst. Currently this is a paper only process. The Online Services Web Site is not accepting online applications at this time.
