The Post-Masters Marriage and Family Therapy Certificate is for individuals who already hold a masters degree (or higher) in an area of mental health but who wish to add specialized training as Marriage and Family Therapists. This program is only open to Central and Eastern European citizens who live and work in Eastern and Central Europe. The certificate focuses on family systems conceptualization, clinical training, and systemic supervision for professionals from a Christian worldview.
The 14-credit Post-MA MFT Certificate equips practitioners to work with individuals, couples, families, and groups from a relational perspective. Relationships provide the context for all our experiences and models for our responses. In the MFT certificate program, you will learn about pathology and healing from a relational lens, whether you are working with individuals, couples, or families.
Overall, this certificate program will prepare Christian mental health professionals to specialize in providing a relationally focused conceptualization and treatment for those hurting all over the world and in service of Christ and His Kingdom and the global church.
