How to Become a Marriage & Family Therapist in 10 Steps

What’s Anya Mind?
Choosing therapy was one of the most rewarding decisions of my life! I love that I’m contributing to the health of both emotional and relational well-beings each day. So often, I hear from friends, family, and even clients that they’ve thought about being a counselor or therapist, and so many of them would be perfect for this role! Have you ever considered it? In today’s video, I break down the ten most important steps for becoming a therapist! This mainly applies to Marriage and Family Therapy, but can be a resource for social workers, professional counselors, school counselors, national certified counselors, life coaches, sex therapists, etc. I hope this is helpful!

I’m watching this at my corporate job at 31 and working on my GRE to get into school to become a therapist. I was so lost career wise I cannot even begin to tell you, but I focused on my natural skills: listening and empathy. I have so much, SO much to learn but I’m really excited for this journey. Thanks for the great video

I just passed my California clinical exam today! I was listening to your videos on the drive to the testing center!

I appreciate you breaking down the steps! I'm almost done with my Bachelors son I still have a long way to go . I'm 53! woo chile😅😅

It is amazing to know how individuals look at those individuals who have received online training as not getting the proper education. I received my Associate and Bachelor degree online at University of Phoenix, and will be receiving my Masters degree In Marriage and Family Therapy at NCU. I have learned a lot from being online for school.

I am a visual learner and I am able to utilize what I have learned from going to school on line. I believe that online schools are no different from brick and morter school. Both help us to succeed.

I admire the fact that you make it seem so easy and interesting. I am looking to be a Life coach but this has given me a little heads up on what to expect. 👍

Hey, thank you for this video, I know a year has passed, but the information is still very helpful. I have a bachelors in psych and I’m a Lieutenant in the army looking at a possible career change, so I definitely appreciate this and I hope you get your full license soon!

[alexandriadenson]

I wish I had found your videos sooner. I take my licensure exam on Friday. It’s my second time taking it and I’m really hoping I pass. I wasted all my 5 years of internship and now my license expires in 7 months and I need to pass! 🤞🏾😬

[shazzy]

Steph Thanks so much for your videos! I have been watching before I found my internship. I just graduated with my Master’s in Family Therapy!! I will continue to watch and learn from you!!

[brittaneyh.]

I’m so glad that I found this channel! I just graduate from my master’s program in Counseling Psychology and now I’m going to start pursuing my LMFTA license.

[Dianajannawriting]

Can you do a video on the difference between Counselors vs. Therapists vs. Psychologists vs. Social Workers?

[zack]

[abigailjolene]

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and you absolutely radiate positivity ❤️❤️❤️

[EctoScreen]

I am currently in Film School, but my goal is to be a relationship therapist. I have been finding Master's Programs that work for me and will help me, and I am preparing as much as possible now for that future. This video helped me put it into more perspective and I am so excited to this!

[datralewis]

I'm getting my bachelor's in phycology pursuing a career as a lmft. I'm so glad I found your channel.

[everythingbyjemelle]

Thank you for this information! I just graduated from undergrad last year and I was planning on a few years off before going to grad school to just work. But with this information I might as well just start now lol. Honestly, this snapshot of the process just really made me more excited to fill out these school applications!

[chardonnay]

I’m so glad to hear your in GA me too !

[stephaniespreciousjewels]

This was a really helpful video! I am interested in studying this field. I am also located in GA and was researching online schools but prefer a local school due to the intern you was talking about, I would have to travel to that state so knowing I can complete this closer to home is relieving. I just typed in YouTube marriage and family therapist and you popped up lol. You have the same name as me and looks like you studied in atlanta as well haha so I’m thankful I ran across your channel Anna going to catch up on your videos and use your channel as a guide for my journey. Thank you so much for sharing your life with the world around you. I love you already twin😘❤️
