Get to know the MFT difference

Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT) possess a unique set of skills that distinguish them from other mental health professionals. This is due to their extensive training in both psychotherapy and family systems, which provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the human experience. LMFTs are equipped to see individual symptoms in the context of relational dynamics and the impact that relationships can have on behavior. By recognizing the interplay between relationships and mental health, LMFTs offer a more holistic and integrated approach to treatment, taking into account the entire picture of a person's mental health and well-being.

LMFTs work with a diverse range of individuals, couples, and families facing various emotional and behavioral challenges. These can include trauma, communication difficulties, infidelity, emotional and sexual intimacy issues, and more. By considering the relational context of symptoms, LMFTs empower their clients to make meaningful and long-lasting changes in their lives.

In summary, LMFTs play a crucial role in mental health care, with a focus on the overall well-being of individuals and their relationships. By integrating both the individual and relational aspects of mental health, LMFTs are dedicated to supporting their clients in achieving their mental health and relationship goals, and they work tirelessly to guide and assist them on their path towards healing and wellness.
