What is a Marriage and Family Therapist?

The practice also includes premarital counseling, child counseling, divorce or separation counseling and other relationship counseling. MFTs 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 written and oral examination and at least 3,000 hours of supervised experience.
