NJAMFT Board of Directors are looking forward to continuing efforts to support the many MFTs that will be serving those individuals, couples and families throughout the Great Garden State-New Jersey!
What this will immediately mean for those in MFT program graduates is that they can now apply to the NJ State Board of Marriage & Family Therapy Examiners for Associate Licensure as a Marriage & Family Therapist. Licensed Associate Marriage & Family Therapists will now have increased employment opportunities being on par with Professional Counselors and Social Workers!
More to come!

I have learned from
and collaborated with the TCOM Collaborative for more than ten years. My formal
clinical training has been in family systems, specifically in
multi-generational family therapy or Bowenian family therapy.[1]A
few years back I presented at an event and began to discuss the CANS and other
TCOM Tools with family therapists. Several marriage and family therapists
(MFTs) continued to contact me regarding the CANS and TCOM and how they can be
used as part of the private practice. I shared with them how I incorporate the
TCOM tools in my work with children/youth and families in my practice, and I
shared how treatment planning has been significantly more successful with their
use.
It is my sincere belief that both TCOM and its
associated tools should be brought directly to those who are serving in the
private sector (e.g. private practice). TCOM tools are quite simply
standards of effective practice... less
TCOM Conversations is jointly hosted by Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago and The Praed Foundation. We are committed to improving the well-being of all through the use of personalized, timely and effective interventions. This blog is intended to se

This is our dream vision of a message that we would send you informing you that all four board positions are filled. Let's work together in 2017 to see just how close to that dream we can come! Listed below are the open positions we have on our four boards. While the list may look quite long, remember our membership list is so much longer.
Principle VI of our Marriage and Family Therapist Code of Ethics reads:
Responsibility to the Profession
Marriage and family therapists respect the rights and responsibilities of professional colleagues and participate in activities that advance the goals of the profession.
There are many ways that we can creatively design a place for you to contribute to the growth of our profession. A professional association is after all, a group of individuals working together to develop, promote and sustain their mutual growth.
