Marriage and Family Therapists

Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) are mental health professionals trained in psychotherapy, family systems, and mental disorders. They are qualified to diagnose and treat these conditions within the context of marriages, couples, and families.

This form of therapy is commonly referred to as couple and family therapy, couples counseling, marriage counseling, or family counseling.

Focus and Approach

MFTs take a holistic approach to health care, expanding beyond individual treatment to focus on the dynamics within primary relationship networks, such as marriages and families. Their methods include:

  • Improving communication.
  • Developing coping strategies.
  • Solving problems constructively.
  • Building trust.
  • Strengthening healthy relationships within family systems.

The ultimate goal of a MFT is long-term well-being of both individuals and their families.
