    You are going to have to go to graduate school, so get ready to take the GRE.
    I would look at some of the schools around your area and see what there prerequistes are for getting into their Master’s Degree Programs.
    Also I would check the state board of Psychology website where you want to practice and see what the requirements are to be licensed in that state.
    Some require a Ph.D, so you can also start working towards that goal as well.
