Levels of Membership
MFTs who are dedicated to their ongoing growth and professional development are not hard to find. They are members of the AAMFT. Regardless of the stage of your career as an MFT or an allied mental health professional, AAMFT has a membership category that best suits you.
Following are the four AAMFT Membership Categories:
Clinical Membership
Clinical membership is the highest level of membership in the AAMFT. Clinical Members are licensed marriage and family therapists. Clinical members are recognized workwide as highly trained professionals. If your province does not license marriage and family therapists, if you live overseas, or if you live in a state that has just started licensing, we offer an evaluative application process.
Associate Membership
Associate Members have earned graduate degrees in marriage and family therapy or a related mental health discipline, and are working on the clinical hours required for MFT licensure and AAMFT Clinical Membership. Associate membership signifies an ongoing dedication to achieving the highest standards in the marriage and family therapy profession.
Student Membership
Student Members are currently enrolled in a graduate or post-degree training program that can be reasonably expected to lead towards an MFT license and AAMFT Clinical Membership. Student membership signifies a commitment and desire to become a marriage and family therapist.
Affiliate Membership
Affiliate Membership signifies a commitment to staying up-to-date on the latest research, news, and clinical developments in the marriage and family therapy profession. It is the ideal membership opportunity for the mental health professional who wants to connect with the MFT profession, but does not want to pursue MFT licensure or Clinical Membership. Affiliate membership in non-clinical; thus, the AAMFT does not review credentials as part of the application process.
