The Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy is designed to train therapists to work from the systems perspective to help individuals and families live more productive lives.
Our program is grounded in the idea that individuals who seek psychotherapeutic assistance are influenced by a complex set of factors. Therapists need to be trained to understand these dynamic systems in order to help individuals, couples and families live more productive lives.
Mount Mercy’s research-based classes and quality practicum experiences ensure that you have the necessary skills to be an effective therapist or consultant in a variety of settings. After completing your postgraduate supervised hours, you are eligible for state licensure as a marriage and family therapist.
Students do not need any specific undergraduate coursework to enroll in this program. We have 1 start time in the fall and are currently accepting applications for Fall 2012.
With classes conveniently scheduled in the evening, you will be able to complete this program in two years. Mount Mercy’s rich community contacts and practical learning environment ensures that you have the skills, disposition, and knowledge to be an effective marriage and family therapist upon graduation.
