Do you know that Registered Marriage & Family Therapists are mental health and relationship professionals?

Registered Marriage and Family Therapists (RMFTs)  are commonly known as Family Therapists. RMFTs are uniquely qualified Relationship Professionals who help people see their  situations from a new perspective that supports their strengths and invites change. RMFTs are highly trained Mental Health Professionals who have completed over 1000 hours of therapy with individuals, families, couples and groups while supervised by an RMFT Approved Supervisor. RMFTs  have acquired rigorous graduate level training in couple and family therapy. RMFTs help people explore their relationships with themselves, and with spouses, partners, fathers, mothers, daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, step-parents, grandparents, friends, peers, colleagues, neighbours and others. RMFTs honour diversity in ability, age, culture, ethnicity, gender, race, sexual orientation, spirituality and socioeconomic status. RMFT research shows that couple and family therapy is a preferred and effective treatment for depression, severe mental illness, substance abuse, couple problems and parenting concerns. RMFTs adhere to the AAMFT Code of Ethics that outlines responsibilities to clients, the profession and the community. RMFTs encourage people to keep life's most precious relationships resilient and strong.

The Ontario Association for Marriage and Family Therapy has advanced the profession of couple and family therapy in Ontario, since 1974.  OAMFT is a division of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), an international professional association established in 1942.  OAMFT's 450 Registered Marriage and Family Therapists (RMFTs) are members of the Registry of Marriage and Family Therapists in Canada.
