Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) are mental health professionals who diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders within the context of relationships, such as couples and families. They help clients understand how family dynamics and relationships impact individual well-being, mediating conflicts, improving communication, and developing coping strategies. MFTs work with individuals, couples, and families in private practices, mental health centers, and other healthcare settings, requiring a master's degree and licensure.
