America faces a severe mental health provider shortage—yet many MFTs aren’t working at full capacity. The 2025 MFT Industry Workforce Study reveals: Only 51% of MFTs are at full capacity 21% are actively seeking new clients Just 12% report having waitlists Licensure barriers, uneven referrals, and lack of business training contribute to this disconnect—limiting access for care even as qualified therapists have room to help. ➡️ Read more about why capacity and need aren’t aligning on AAMFT+ and then download the full 2025 MFT Industry Workforce Study to explore systemic solutions. https://lnkd.in/eEAqfccY

AI is no longer theoretical in mental health care—it’s already part of everyday MFT practice. According to the 2025 MFT Industry Workforce Study: 52% of MFTs already use AI for administrative tasks 85% expect to be using AI tools within the next five years While clinicians see clear benefits—especially in reducing administrative burden—adoption remains thoughtful and ethically grounded, with ongoing concerns about privacy, bias, and overreliance. ➡️ Read how MFTs are navigating innovation without losing the relational core of the profession on AAMFT+ and then download the full 2025 MFT Industry Workforce Study for more insights. https://lnkd.in/eQe-xJT3

As we celebrate Black History Month, it’s important to acknowledge the systemic barriers that still shape access and outcomes in mental healthcare. The “Dismantling Discrimination: Antidiscrimination and Social Policy in Marriage and Family Therapy Practice” and “Navigating Client-Generated Prejudice” chapters in AAMFT’s Systemic Ethics Textbook examine how discrimination can show up in therapy and the ethical responsibility therapists hold in advancing equitable, culturally responsive care. Therapists must be prepared to challenge bias, respond thoughtfully to prejudiced dynamics in session, and cultivate inclusive environments where every client feels recognized and respected. Dive into these essential chapters: https://lnkd.in/dW_bpSK7 #BlackHistoryMonth #AAMFT #EthicsInTherapy #EquityInTherapy
