What is an LMFT?

A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist is trained to see problems in the context of relationships: couples, families, parenting, separation, and communication patterns. LMFTs also treat individual concerns like anxiety and depression, but their distinctive skill is working with more than one person in the room. Seeing an LMFT on your own is common, especially when what you're dealing with is tied to the people around you.
