Clinical Definition of a Marriage and Family Therapist

Marriage and Family therapists are highly trained mental health professionals who bring a family-oriented perspective to health care. They evaluate and treat mental and emotional disorders and other health and behavioral problems. MFT’s address a wide range of relationship issues within the context of the family system. Marriage and Family Therapists believe that individuals and their problems must be seen in context and that the most important context is the family.
