Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) and LMFT-Associates
Marriage and Family Therapists at WellMind
WellMind’s marriage and family therapists provide trauma-informed psychotherapy with a strong focus on relationships, attachment, and family systems. Our team includes Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associates (LMFT-As) who work collaboratively within our multidisciplinary practice to support healing at the individual, couple, and family level.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs)
A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) has completed graduate-level education and extensive supervised clinical training, including a minimum of 3,000 hours of post-graduate supervised experience, and has passed required state licensing examinations. LMFTs are trained to assess and treat mental health concerns through a relational and systemic lens, recognizing the impact of family, partnerships, and attachment patterns on emotional well-being.
At WellMind, LMFTs work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, trauma, life transitions, parenting concerns, and emotional distress. Their work integrates trauma-informed, attachment-based, and systems-oriented approaches to support healthier connection, communication, and resilience.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associates (LMFT-As)
A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFT-A) has completed all required academic training for the profession, including a master’s degree from an accredited university and supervised practicum and internship experiences. LMFT-As are working toward independent licensure and are required to complete additional post-graduate supervised clinical hours under the supervision of an approved licensed supervisor.
At WellMind, LMFT-As receive ongoing supervision and advanced clinical training, learning the same trauma-informed skills and therapeutic approaches as our licensed marriage and family therapists, social workers, counselors, and psychologists. This ensures care is ethical, well-supported, and aligned with best clinical practices.
