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.

Job description

We're Hiring: Integrated Behavioral Health Provider
(Ph.D., Psy.D., LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT)
Location: Hawaiʻi Island Community Health Center
Department: Behavioral Health
Status: Full-time, Exempt
Reports to: Behavioral Health Director


About the Role

Are you passionate about whole-person care and making a meaningful impact in your community? Do you thrive in a collaborative, integrated care environment where behavioral health is a vital part of the patient experience? If so, we’d love to welcome you to our team.

As an Integrated Behavioral Health Provider (BHP) at HICHC, you’ll be part of a dynamic care team that includes primary care providers, psychiatrists, and other specialists. You’ll work side-by-side with medical professionals to support patients’ mental, emotional, and behavioral well-being—right where they receive their primary care.

This is not a typical desk job. One day you might be doing a warm handoff in the clinic, the next supporting a patient via telehealth, and another day out in the community helping someone navigate life’s challenges. It’s meaningful work—and it matters.


Key Responsibilities
  • Serve as the behavioral health expert in a fast-paced, integrated care setting
  • Conduct assessments, develop treatment plans, and provide brief interventions
  • Support same-day warm handoffs and collaborate with primary care providers
  • Help patients manage chronic conditions and promote positive behavior change
  • Deliver services in-office, via telehealth, and in community settings
  • Respond to mental health crises with compassion and professionalism
  • Maintain timely and accurate documentation aligned with best practices
  • Engage in continuing education and maintain licensure

Qualifications
  • Licensed in Hawaiʻi (or eligible for licensure) as one of the following:
    • Ph.D. or Psy.D. in Clinical/Counseling Psychology
    • LCSW, LMHC, or LMFT
  • Minimum of 3 years post-master’s experience
  • Experience in integrated care, FQHCs, or working with underserved populations
  • Strong communication skills and a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach
  • Proficiency with EHR systems and clinical documentation
  • Team-oriented with the ability to work independently

Why Join HICHC?

At HICHC, we live by the value of pono—doing what’s right for our patients, our team, and our community. We offer:

  • A supportive, mission-driven work culture
  • Opportunities for professional development
  • The chance to live and work in one of the most beautiful places on Earth
  • The satisfaction of knowing your work truly makes a difference

Benefits
  • Scrub Reimbursement: Up to $100 annually
  • Health Coverage: Medical, dental, vision, and prescription insurance
  • Financial Security: 403(b) retirement savings plan
  • Work-Life Balance: Generous paid time off and holidays
  • Peace of Mind: Life, disability, and workers’ compensation insurance
  • Flexibility: Flexible spending accounts
  • Support: Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Extras: Hawaiʻi Life Flight, AFLAC, and pet insurance

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you're ready to bring your skills, heart, and aloha spirit to a team that values integrated care and community wellness, we’d love to hear from you.
