What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an AAMFT (American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy) member/therapist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Marriage and Family Therapist (AAMFT member), you need a graduate degree in marriage and family therapy or a closely related field, along with supervised clinical experience and licensure. Familiarity with electronic health records (EHRs), telehealth platforms, and ongoing continuing education in evidence-based therapeutic modalities is common. Strong interpersonal skills, cultural competence, and the ability to handle sensitive situations with empathy set exceptional therapists apart. These skills and qualifications are essential for providing effective care, maintaining ethical standards, and building trust with clients and families.

How do AAMFT-certified marriage and family therapists typically collaborate with other healthcare professionals in a clinical setting?

AAMFT-certified marriage and family therapists often work closely with other healthcare providers such as psychiatrists, social workers, and primary care physicians to ensure comprehensive care for clients. This collaboration can involve participating in multidisciplinary team meetings, sharing relevant treatment progress (with client consent), and contributing to integrated care plans. Effective communication and a strong understanding of professional boundaries are essential for successful collaboration. Working in this team-oriented environment can help therapists provide holistic support and enhance client outcomes.

What are AAMFT therapists?

AAMFT therapists are mental health professionals who are members of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). They are trained to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders within the context of marriage, couples, and family systems. These therapists use a holistic approach to address issues affecting relationships and family dynamics. AAMFT members must meet specific educational and clinical requirements and adhere to a professional code of ethics.

The MFT Division consists of two programs: a COAMFTE accredited M.A. in Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapy (offered at all three Southern California campuses - Los Angeles, Anaheim, and San Diego, and in a Distance Learning modality), and a PsyD in Marriage and Family Therapy (offered at the Los Angeles and Anaheim campuses).

Adjunct teaching assignments are not guaranteed but are assigned based on division need. Degree programs are offered during Fall (14 week), Spring (14 week), and Summer (7 week) semesters/terms. Class size typically ranges from 8-15 students.

Responsibilities:

Throughout the semester, adjunct faculty engage in:

  • Course instruction
  • Course and syllabus preparation

  • Communication with the division as needed
  • Required division meetings and institutional trainings

Skills:

  • Communicate effectively with students with diverse learning needs and styles.
  • Computer and technology proficiency.
  • Ability to work both independently and as an effective team member.
  • Collaborate effectively with staff and various institutional departments.
  • Problem solve effectively and exercise sound judgment.

The MFT division seeks an individual who has the ability and interest in contributing to a community committed to student-centeredness, professional development and scholarship, integrity and ethics, respect for diversity and pluralism, innovation, flexibility, and teamwork and collaboration. Candidates who will advance equity, diversity, and inclusion through their teaching, scholarship, and service are strongly encouraged to apply.
