Master of Arts - Couples and Family Therapy

The program prepares students to become a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). Under the guidance of clinicians who are state approved and American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) approved supervisors, students are trained to assess, diagnose, consult, and treat relationships and individuals. Students engage in self-reflection, and person-of-the-therapist exploration, to better understand themselves as a provider. Graduates heal and empower clients from diverse intersecting social locations (e.g., ethnicities, gender identities, faith traditions).

Graduates work in community agencies, private practice, school settings, and other clinical arenas. They contribute to the field of couples and family therapy by seeing clients, advocating for justice, and participating in professional organizations including the Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and Washington Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (WAMFT).
