How long will it take me to become licensed?

All license materials must be received before the board can review your application. The board meets every other month beginning in January, usually the third Thursday and Friday of the month, so it may take two to four months to become licensed.

Do I need to get my experience pre-approved?

The experience does not need to be pre-approved in order to be used towards IMFT applications. Just refer to the requirements listed in the board rules found in the Administrative Code section 4757-25-04. However, if you are uncertain that your supervisor or experience will meet the requirements, you can request pre-approval from the board.

What will count towards the experience required for IMFT?
The requirement is a minimum of two years experience in marriage and family therapy, which includes 1000 hours of client contact. The applicant must receive 200 hours of face-to-face supervision of which 100 hours are individual. (Please refer to the board rules found in the Administrative Code section 4757-25-04).
