The Graduate Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy enables professionals in the mental health counseling, rehabilitation counseling, counselor education, social work, psychology, and other human service fields to enhance their knowledge and skills in marriage and family therapy. This is a two-tiered program. The Tier I Certificate is for students enrolled in the Master's Program in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling or other professional counseling programs. The MFT Certificate Program prepares students to meet the curriculum requirements for MFT licensure by the Florida Department of Health Board of Clinical Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling (Chapter 491). This Tier I Certificate is a 15 credit hour program with course content that focuses on systemic approaches to both the theory and practice of Marriage and Family Therapy and includes a supervised practicum course. The supervised practicum course requires 180 hours of face to face time with individuals, couples, and families. Face to face hours from practicum I may be combined with face to face hours from practicum II to complete the required 180 hours. The one stipulation is that you must be receiving supervision from a licensed MFT during practicum I either from your onsite supervisor or practicum instructor.
