Marriage and family therapist
A marriage and family therapist (M.F.T.) is trained in family and individual therapy. This type of therapist can help you overcome family problems or issues in other relationships. They have at least a master's degree. License and certificate requirements vary by state. Look for a licensed marriage and family therapist (L.M.F.T.). These therapists may work independently or in partnership with other professionals.
