Approved Supervisor
Designation
AAMFT
Approved Supervisors are dedicated professionals who have
obtained the educational, experiential and supervisory
training required for the competent supervision of marriage
and family therapists and trainees. Those who have earned the
designation serve as mentors who support and nurture their
supervisees’ strengths and resources, and provide a learning
environment that ensures thorough marriage and family therapy
(MFT) training and education.
AAMFT
Approved Supervisors have a breadth and depth of MFT clinical
and supervisory experience, and they stay involved in the
professional MFT community. They are committed to refining
their clinical and supervisory skills, and they participate in
ongoing professional development through their affiliation
with the AAMFT.
Approved
Supervisors work from a systemic orientation, using a variety
of MFT theoretical approaches in their practice. Their
supervision is guided by the Responsibilities and
Guidelines for AAMFT Approved Supervisors, set forth in
the
Approved Supervisor Handbook,
October 2007 and the
AAMFT Code of Ethics.
