What is an MFT Associate?

An MFT Associate (AMFT) is a pre-licensed therapist gaining supervised clinical experience toward full licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). Their responsibilities include providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families under the supervision of a licensed MFT. They work in various settings, such as private practices, community mental health centers, or hospitals. AMFTs must complete required hours of supervised experience and pass licensing exams before becoming fully licensed.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an MFT Associate?

To thrive as an MFT Associate, you need a master's degree in marriage and family therapy or a closely related field, state registration as an Associate, and foundational knowledge in psychotherapy and systemic family dynamics. Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems and regular supervision hours to meet licensure requirements are typical technical aspects of the role. Exceptional communication, cultural competency, empathy, and the ability to build trust with diverse clients are standout soft skills. These skills are crucial for effectively delivering therapy, maintaining ethical standards, and making progress towards independent licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist.

What are the typical supervision and mentorship opportunities available to MFT Associates?

As an MFT Associate, you are typically required to work under the supervision of a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist to fulfill state licensure requirements. Most employers and private practices offer structured weekly or bi-weekly supervision, where you can receive feedback, case consultation, and guidance on clinical documentation. Supervision not only helps you grow clinically and ethically, but also supports your personal development as a therapist. These mentorship opportunities are invaluable for building confidence, honing your therapeutic approach, and progressing toward full licensure.

Tired of remote-only isolation? Need a soft place to land? There's a better way to build your career. At SoLuna Mental Wellness, we built something different — a sustainable, in-person group practice that's a genuine alternative to the remote-only model that leaves so many associates feeling burned out and unseen. Here, culture is the foundation. Our therapists find their professional home at SoLuna: mentored, supported in real time, and empowered to do their best work without sacrificing their wellbeing.

We're a collaborative group practice in The Woodlands offering psychiatry, psychological assessments, and therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups. Our team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, and licensed professionals across disciplines — all working together to serve our diverse Houston-area community with care that actually heals.

We're currently hiring talented, motivated LMFT-Associates who thrive in a collaborative environment and are ready to grow under strong, real-time supervision and mentorship.

What We Offer
  • Competitive hourly pay (details covered at your Teams interview)
  • Free in-house, real-time clinical supervision toward full licensure — one of our biggest differentiators
  • Structured compensation for admin tasks + paid CEU time
  • Flexible scheduling with genuine autonomy over your caseload and client focus
  • You work with who resonates with you — so you stay fulfilled without burning out
  • Full benefits: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k), PTO, holidays, and sick time
  • Ongoing training, mentorship, and robust wellness support
  • A workplace culture rooted in respect, care, and authentic connection
The Role

Setting: Primarily in-person with telehealth flexibility. You'll assess mental health needs, develop individualized treatment plans, and provide therapy for individuals and groups. You'll coordinate care across our interdisciplinary team, support clients through grief, crisis, and life transitions, and maintain timely clinical documentation. Active participation in supervision, team meetings, and ongoing professional development is part of how we grow together here.

Qualifications
  • Master's degree in marriage and family therapy, counseling, or related field
  • Current Texas LMFT-Associate license in good standing
  • Identified or willing to be assigned an LMFT-S supervisor (in-house available)
  • Strong diagnostic, clinical, and crisis intervention skills
  • Experience with EHR systems and standard office tools
  • EMDR, somatic, eating disorders, or addiction training is a plus
  • Some evening and weekend availability is a plus — not a requirement

Rooted in Houston. Built for this moment. SoLuna is shaped by this city's rhythms and responsive to its needs.

The name SoLuna honors the balance between light and dark — the cyclical nature of healing. Just as the sky shifts, so do we. Mental health care that begins within.

We're creating something meaningful at SoLuna. If this sounds like your professional home — apply now. We'd love to meet you.
