Adler Graduate School offers a 60 credit Master of Arts Degree in Adlerian Counseling and Psychotherapy with an emphasis in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling. Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling emphasis does include an internship component and prepares students for licensure as a Marriage, Couples, and Family Counselor in any state.
With an educational focus on systems/relationships, Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling students are prepared to pursue the professional role of a multiculturally-informed, ethically sound psychotherapist who works in a variety of settings serving families, children and adolescents, couples, and individuals.
Adler Graduate School’s Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling emphasis is based on the State of Minnesota’s criteria for licensure as a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT). These therapists are overseen by the Minnesota Board of Marriage & Family Therapy, 2829 University Ave. S.E., Suite 330, Minneapolis, MN, 55414, phone 612-617-2220. The LMFT is recognized in nearly all 50 states. Graduates interested in practicing in another state should make contact with that state's MFT oversight body. A license in Marriage and Family Therapy is not a national license. The Association of Marriage and Family Therapy Regulatory Board (AMFTRB) will provide access to each State’s Regulatory body. Students are encouraged to check the educational requirements and licensing requirements for the state in which they live or plan to practice.
