"Being a part of the RMFTN has allowed me to enjoy growth-producing relationships with other therapists."
“The Rocky Mountain Family Therapy Network (RMFTN) has been a real blessing to my Practice for 35+ years. The monthly meetings and presentations I have attended during this time have been educational and advantageous. The conferences, which include speakers who are nationally and internationally known leaders in this field, are enormously informative and worthwhile.”

“I love the sense of community that the Rocky Mountain Family Therapy Network gives me as a solo practitioner."
“In addition to learning a lot and obtaining continuing education credits, I reconnected with old colleagues and made new friends at the 2022 conference. As a result, it's so good to know that an old fashioned "hallway consult" is sometimes just a text or an email away.”
~ Polly Drew, LMFT, LCSW -

"I've appreciated being featured in a newsletter and I'm thankful for the monthly webinars."
“I've been with RMFT for 14 years as I recently completed my Doctorate in Ministry with a Marriage and Family Counseling emphasis. I've private messaged several of the members as I learn from their experience. The RMFT network is much appreciated in my world.”

FAQs
-
To practice as a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) nearly all states and jurisdictions* require an advanced (masters) degree, passing the MFT National Examination, developed and managed by AMFTRB and passing the juris prudence exam. The only exception is California, which administers its own exam.
There are two scenarios leading to becoming a licensed LMFT: 1) you are already an experienced or practicing marriage and family therapist, or 2) you are currently in a graduate program or transitioning from another related career and plan to practice as an LMFT. In both cases, it is important that you become familiar with the 1) MFT National Examination process, 2) your state’s or jurisdiction’s policies and requirements, and then 3) the process for applying and completing the exam under the auspices of the board that is sponsoring you.
Please read the comprehensive Handbook for Candidates and the many pages on this website that are designed to give you the knowledge, tools, and resources you need to make this experience as efficient and effective as possible. We also encourage you to read the appropriate pages on the AAMFT website and the respective Colorado State Resources.
