Overview

The Couple and Family Therapy Master of Science Degree Program, a 60 credit course of study, prepares candidates for licensure as a Couple and Family Therapist (CFT) in Nevada. CFTs work with individuals, couples, families, and groups on mental health, behavioral, personal and/or relational concerns. CFTs are employed in a wide range of settings, including public and private, for-profit and non-profit agencies, hospitals and social service agencies. They may practice independently after they are fully licensed. While there are similarities between CFT licensing requirements for most states, students are strongly encouraged to become familiar with the licensing requirements in the state(s) wherein they want to practice as an CFT. Students who are in their final semester of completing of their degrees may apply to the State of Nevada Board of Examiners for Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Professional Counselors for licensure as an MFT Intern. Once approved by the Board, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Intern is eligible to practice under the direct supervision of an AAMFT Approved Supervisor or AAMFT Supervisor Candidate. Further information on this process may be obtained by calling the board's office. Students should be aware that the state's post-master's internship and the department's pre-master's internships are in no way related. The department does not offer, nor otherwise sanction, state internships. Available Options: Thesis Track Non-Thesis Track With a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, plus post-degree training and supervision you can become: Licensed as a marriage and family therapist. Certified as a family therapy supervisor. A marriage and family therapy researcher. An instructor of marriage and family therapy. A clinician in an agency setting.
