What is a Marriage and Family Therapist? The Role of an MFT

As behavioral health professionals, Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) provide evidence-based care to individuals, couples, and families navigating relational, emotional, and psychological challenges. Working in settings such as private practice, community agencies, hospitals, schools, and integrated care programs, MFTs play a vital role in helping clients improve communication, resolve conflict, manage life transitions, and strengthen relationships. By addressing both individual concerns and the larger family system, MFTs support meaningful change and improved quality of life.
