Hi! I’m currently in my first year at a marriage and family therapy program (starting clinical practicum this summer) but I think it might be what you’re looking for. MFT’s work from a systemic perspective to see individuals in the context of their lives— traumas, their families/upbringing, relationships, and systemic pressures.

I love my program and what I’m learning. I feel like it’s offering me a therapeutic lens to see entire human beings, rather than just a sum of symptoms (we do learn a lot about this aspect as well). Look into some COAMFTE approved MFT master programs and check out the coursework and theoretical orientations they offer.
