You then apply to the Maryland Board of Examiners of Psychologists and pass the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology. Maryland also requires a jurisprudence exam covering state law before granting full licensure to practice independently.
Which companies hire psychologists in Maryland?
Employers hiring psychologists in Maryland right now include LifeStance Health, Shore Staffing, and Pediatric Developmental Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Maryland's concentration of federal agencies, academic medical centers, and correctional institutions means sustained hiring across clinical, research, and government-contracted positions throughout the state.
Which Maryland cities have the most psychologist jobs?
Baltimore, Annapolis, and Rockville have the most psychologist openings in Maryland. Baltimore drives much of the volume through its dense network of hospital systems and universities, while the D.C.-area suburbs like Bethesda and Silver Spring are anchored by federal health agencies, military medical facilities, and large outpatient group practices that generate steady demand.
Are there remote psychologist jobs in Maryland?
Yes, and more than most clinical fields. About 70% of psychologist openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting telehealth expansion across licensed mental health services. Roles in psychological assessment and direct therapy are the most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements, particularly for outpatient and employee assistance program positions.

The most realistic entry path is a postdoctoral fellowship or residency, which large Maryland employers including the Johns Hopkins Health System, the University of Maryland Medical System, and Veterans Affairs Maryland Healthcare System run for new doctoral graduates. Associate or pre-licensed psychologist roles at community mental health centers and state correctional facilities also offer supervised hours toward full licensure. Candidates who hold an active associate license through the Maryland Board of Examiners of Psychologists gain a meaningful edge in the applicant pool.
