Marriage and family therapy is a mental health practice based on research and theory that an individual’s behavioural, mental, emotional, and relational issues do not happen in insolation. MFTs, as mental health providers, practice from the belief that in order to effectively evaluate, understand, and treat the problems that people bring to therapy, they have to understand them within the context of a client’s relationships and social world. MFTs bring a holistic perspective to mental health care. We are concerned with the overall, long-term well-being of individuals and their families. This perspective makes MFT particularly appropriate for Black/African American and People Of Color (POC) because of its emphasis on relationships and understanding people’s problems and wellness within their social and relational contexts. MFTs are mental health professionals trained in psychotherapy and family systems. MFTs are licensed to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders. We work with individuals, couples, and families. MFTs treat a wide range of clinical problems including but not limited to depression, anxiety, marital/relationship problems, psychological problems, trauma, racial trauma, parent-child problems, and sibling relationships.

No, you don’t have to be married to see an MFT.

MFTs are trained to respect and consider the spiritual or religious backgrounds of our clients. We also understand that our clients’ spirituality or religion can be a source of strength and resource in their lives, so we do incorporate this important aspect of their lives in our work together.

Absolutely not! This is an old-fashioned mentality – based on outdated styles of therapy that only looked for sickness. Choosing therapy is healthy and it means you have made the brave and courageous decision to reach out and accept help when you need it!

Racial trauma is the effects of racism and race-based stressors that Black/African American and People of Color (POC) experience and witness daily. Experiencing and witnessing racial discrimination, micro-aggressions, assaults, community violence, and harassments (overt or covert) negatively impact the mental, emotional, and relational health of Black people and POC – regardless of age, class, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. In addition to the stressors of life, work and relationships, the effects of racial trauma challenge the overall well-being of Black/POC lives and relationships. The symptoms of racial trauma can include depression, anxiety, poor concentration, irritability, persistent distorted blame of self and others, persistent negative emotional state, and reckless/self-destructive behavior.

Confidentiality is an important part of our code of ethics as therapists. We understand that for you to feel comfortable revealing sensitive information (which allows your therapy to be effective) you must feel safe with and trust us with sensitive matters. As therapists, we will provide you with a confidential disclosure agreement that explains how your personal information is handled. We take your privacy seriously, and what you discuss with your therapist in session stays in the room and within our therapy services. However, there are some situations in which state law and professional ethics provide exceptions to confidentiality and require disclosure. These include: Suspected violence, abuse, or neglect of children, the elderly, or people with disabilities. Suspicion the client may harm themselves or others.
