Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) are mental health professionals who specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families improve their relationships and resolve conflicts. They hold a master's or doctoral degree in marriage and family therapy and are required to complete supervised clinical experience before obtaining their license. LMFTs use various therapeutic techniques to address issues such as communication problems, emotional distress, and life transitions.
These therapists often work in private practices, community agencies, or hospitals, providing support for a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. LMFTs focus on understanding the dynamics within relationships and how they impact mental health, promoting healthier interactions and emotional well-being.
