Practicum is designed to assist students in becoming a competent Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) by helping translate and apply what they have learned in didactic courses to actual clinical cases.

In addition, as a faculty, we have added (7) Supervision and Self of the Therapist. The first 6 competencies are those identified as essential areas by the AAMFT Regulatory Board.
