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.

AAMFT offers resources and certification options, but LMFT is the official license required to provide clinical services.

Job description

Job Description:
Founded in 1979, The Chicago School is an independent, not for profit, professional graduate school with a dynamic student body and a professionally accomplished faculty. Our curriculum and training opportunities prepare graduates to deliver outstanding professional services that emphasize the ability to understand and work with diverse populations.
Position Summary:
The Los Angeles, Anaheim, and San Diego campus locations have immediate openings for Non-Core (Adjunct) Faculty members in the Marriage & Family Therapy (MFT) division.
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
  • Class curriculum planning
  • Student consultation and mentorship
  • Student evaluation
  • 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.
  • Flexibility with workflow and ability to meet required deadlines.
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and exhibit discretion as appropriate.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • A doctoral degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (graduation from a COAMFTE-accredited doctoral program preferred) or a related discipline.
  • Licensure as a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California.
  • Strong commitment to academic education, innovation, community, and impact.
  • Applicants interested in teaching Practicum courses must be AAMFT-Approved Supervisor eligible (AAMFT Approved Supervisor status preferred).

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.

The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by people assigned to this classification. They are not to be construed as an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties, and skills required of personnel so classified. All personnel may be required to perform duties outside of their normal responsibilities from time to time, as needed.
This job posting, and all others for adjunct faculty roles with The Chicago School, are posted as "evergreen" roles. This means that there is usually an ongoing need for the division to hire 1-2 adjuncts each semester (usually for teaching specialized topics), and they prefer to keep a running pool of applicants to select from when the need to hire arises. Given this information, please note that your application to our evergreen roles will be reviewed on an as needed basis and you may not hear back immediately. If you would like an update on your application status, you can email National-HR@thechicagoschool.edu. We sincerely appreciate your interest in working with us and hope this won't deter you from continuing to submit your application for any current or future roles you may be interested in.
The Chicago School offers a generous compensation and benefits package, as well as the opportunity to work for a leader in the field of education. Some of our key benefits include: generous paid time-off, medical and dental coverage, company-paid life and disability insurance, retirement plan with employer contribution, multiple flexible spending accounts (FSA), tuition reimbursement, professional development, and regular employee appreciation events.
The Chicago School is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
