Welcome to LAMFT.org

Thank you for visiting the LAMFT website! Our goal is to provide a pleasurable and efficient platform for information to you; the member, the potential member, or member of the public looking for more information on marriage and family therapy. The Louisiana Division of AAMFT is the only professional association in Louisiana which advocates on behalf of marriage and family therapists, the profession, and families.

Public

Similarly, clinicians can search for potential referral sources through TherapistLocator.net. The Public section also provides members of the public with the ability to learn more about Marriage and Family Therapy as a profession and about common family problems.
