Welcome to Marriage and Family Therapy
Welcome to the Marriage and Family Therapy Program. The MFT program leads to a Master of Science (M.S.) in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Our program is committed to nurturing the development of highly competent clinicians who work from a systemic/contextual perspective. To be successful, MFT’s must have authentic interest in their clients, possess therapeutic curiosity, be aware of ethical and therapeutic limitations, and be willing to talk openly with clients about anything clients' wish to discuss regardless of age, sex, physical disadvantage, political leanings, sexual practices and preferences, religion, race, and level of education. MFT trainees at Valdosta State University receive training in an environment that supports scholarship, collegiality, and diversity.
The MS in Marriage and Family Therapy at Valdosta State University is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Training and Education (COAMFTE) of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), 112 S. Alfred Street, Alexandria, VA 22314, (703) 838-9808.
