What is a Marriage and Family Therapist?
We are often asked, “What exactly is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT)?” Per the California Association for Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT), Marriage and Family Therapists are defined as the following:
“relationship specialists who treat persons involved in interpersonal relationships. They are trained to assess, diagnose and treat individuals, couples, families and groups to achieve more adequate, satisfying and productive marriage, family and social adjustment. The practice also includes premarital counseling, child counseling, divorce or separation counseling and other relationship counseling. Marriage and Family Therapists are psychotherapists and healing arts practitioners licensed by the State of California. Requirements for licensure include a related doctoral or two-year master's degree, passage of a comprehensive…examination and at least 3,000 hours of supervised experience.”
