Who We Are

Marriage and family therapists are mental health professionals who apply family systems theories and intervention techniques in clinical practice. They address a wide range of issues within the context of the family system. The ULM Marriage and Family Therapy Clinic is staffed by interns of the Marriage and Family Therapy programs, under direct supervision by clinical faculty. The supervising faculty members hold professional mental health licenses in Louisiana, as well as clinical credentials as approved supervisors in the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
The center was established in 1983 to provide graduate students of the Marriage and Family Therapy programs the opportunity to provide therapeutic services to the greater Monroe community at minimal cost. These students gain experience and supervised training as they prepare for careers as marriage and family therapists.

Services

The idea that only those with a mental illness can benefit from therapy is a myth. Changes, stress, and problems are inevitable in each person's life. Marriage and family therapists work to strengthen relationships and prevent problems from getting out of control. Not all family members must participate for successful outcomes.  A wide variety of problems influence and are influenced by a person's ability to relate to others in his or her world. Individuals, couples, or families who want to improve their relationships, whether those relationships be with friends, lovers, spouses, parents, children, siblings, or work associates, may benefit from the expertise available in our center.
