Indiana licenses Marriage and Family Therapists through the Indiana Behavioral Health and Human Services Licensing Board (Professional Licensing Agency). Licensure generally requires a master’s or doctoral degree in marriage and family therapy (or a closely related field with MFT coursework), a period of post-degree supervised clinical experience, and a passing score on the National Marriage and Family Therapy Examination. Verify current licensing, MFT Licensure Compact, supervised-experience, renewal, and continuing-education requirements directly with the Indiana Behavioral Health and Human Services Licensing Board (Professional Licensing Agency).
Reportedly requires a graduate degree in marriage and family therapy or a related field with required MFT coursework and supervised practicum, under Indiana Code 25-23.6. Verify exact degree and coursework requirements with the Board.
Reportedly requires passing the AMFTRB National Marriage and Family Therapy Examination (the Board has adopted the AMFTRB examination). Verify the required examination with the Board.
Reportedly requires post-degree supervised clinical experience under board-approved supervision before independent licensure. Verify exact hour totals, direct-contact minimums, and supervisor qualifications with the Board.
The state has not enacted the Marriage and Family Therapy Licensure Compact. Marriage and family therapists must hold a license issued by this state to practice here, and any compact privilege held elsewhere does not authorize practice in this state.
The Marriage and Family Therapy Licensure Compact (AMFTRB, mftcompact.org) is new (2024+); no official Indiana source confirming enactment was found, so it is treated as not a member. Verify current MFT compact status with the Indiana PLA board and at mftcompact.org.
License portability may be available by endorsement and, where the state participates, through the MFT Licensure Compact. Verify endorsement eligibility and compact participation with the Indiana Behavioral Health and Human Services Licensing Board (Professional Licensing Agency).
Telehealth marriage and family therapy practice is governed by state law and board rules. Verify current telehealth requirements with the Indiana Behavioral Health and Human Services Licensing Board (Professional Licensing Agency).

Marriage and family therapist licensing laws, board rules, education and examination requirements, MFT Licensure Compact participation, supervised-experience rules, and renewal/continuing-education requirements vary by state and may change. Always verify current requirements directly with the official state licensing board.
