Are you interested in an exciting career?  If you care about people, are interested in promoting healthy relationships, and want to make a difference in the lives of children, teens and adults, then family therapy may be the profession you are looking for.   Being a family therapist allows you the opportunity to witness personal growth, healing in relationships, and the resilience that families have to make positive changes in their lives together.

To become a couple and family therapist,  both a Master's Degree and clinical experience and supervision are required.  Often a bachelor's degree in various disciplines such as psychology, social work, or nursing, will qualify you for entry into a Master's program for couple and family therapy (see below).   Sometimes people decide to pursue a career in family therapy after they have received a Master's degree in a related discipline and are then required to take additional courses in couple and family therapy.   For more information about a career as a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist,  click here. 

OAMFT actively encourages people as they journey toward receiving the training required.   The Commission on Education serves to ensure that appropriate educational opportunities exist in Ontario. For more information select from the following:
