Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy

A Post‑Master's Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy is designed for professionals who hold a master's or a doctor's degree in a helping profession (i.e., psychology, medicine, counseling, social work, and others).  A minimum one‑year clinical practicum is required. The successful completion of the Post‑Master's Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy meets the academic requirements for sitting for the Georgia licensing examination as a marriage and family therapist.

The Georgia Composite Board for Professional Counselors, Clinical Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapists requires that individuals who have a qualifying masters degree in a non MFT mental health area are required to have at least five specific courses (2 in Family Studies, 2 in Family Therapy Theory and 1 in MFT Ethics and Professional Practice) and three years of practice, one year of which can be in a university MFT practicum.
