Associate Marriage and Family Therapists:
Associate Marriage and Family Therapists (AMFT) are therapists who have graduated with their master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and are currently working on gaining their clinical hours for licensure in California. The associates receive my direct supervision and I over see each clinical case…basically you are paying for two therapists to focus on your situation at the cost of one associate.
