What is a Marriage and Family Therapist?
• Marriage and family therapists (MFTs) are psychotherapists and healing arts practitioners licensed by the state of California.
• MFTs assist with a wide variety of issues ranging from addictions, depression, child behavior and elder concerns.
• The terms "marriage, family and child counselors" (MFCCs) and "marriage and family therapists" (MFTs) are used interchangeably. All states that regulate the profession use the title "marriage and family therapist. "
• Marriage and family therapy is highly effective because of the "systemic" orientation that its therapists bring to treatment.
• MFTs believe that an individual's emotional issues and concerns must be treated within the context of his or her current or prior relationships if the gains are to be meaningful and productive for the patient.
