What does MFCC mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Marriage Family Child Counseling (MFCC) is a type of therapy that helps couples, families, and individuals with a variety of mental health issues. It uses evidence-based strategies to create an environment where communication and acceptance can take place.

MFCC often focuses on helping clients learn how to cope with major life changes and improve their relationships while also working on personal growth. It can also be used to address issues such as conflict resolution, parenting skills, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, among others.

Marriage Family Child Counselors are usually licensed therapists with specialized training in the areas of marriage, family medicine and child development. In most states, they must have completed specific coursework in marriage or family therapy as well as extensive supervised clinical experience in order to become certified or licensed Marriage Family Child Counselors.

Typically the process begins by sitting down with your therapist for an initial assessment session where you will discuss your individual needs and the goals for treatment. During this session other family members may also be present if necessary or appropriate. Following this session your therapist will then formulate a plan tailored to meet your individual needs based on the assessment session results which will guide your counseling sessions going forward.

The time frame varies depending on each individual's circumstances but typically ranges from 6-12 months depending upon the individual's needs or goals they wish to achieve through counseling. Additionally some individuals may require fewer sessions while some may require more sessions before they reach their desired outcome or goal.
