Family Therapist Jobs in Michigan

A Family Therapist plays an integral role in the social service industry by providing therapeutic services to families, couples, and individuals to help them manage and overcome various family-related issues which may include conflict, communication breakdown, relationship issues, abuse, mental health disorders, and lifestyle transitions among others. They apply various therapeutic techniques based on psychological theories to help family members improve communication, solve family problems, understand and handle special family situations, and create a better functioning home environment. They also play a preventive role by conducting counselling sessions and workshops that foster healthier relationships and better understanding among family members.

The role of a Family Therapist requires excellent interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills. They typically hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy or related field, and should have a state-issued license to practice. They should also be certified from accredited institutions like the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). Prior to becoming a Family Therapist, professionals often gain experience in roles such as a Mental Health Counselor, Social Worker, or a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, which provide them with opportunities to develop the necessary skills and competencies required for their role as a Family Therapist.
