Nevada licenses Marriage and Family Therapists through the Nevada Board of Examiners for Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Professional Counselors. 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 Nevada Board of Examiners for Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Professional Counselors.
Reportedly requires a graduate (master's or doctoral) degree in marriage and family therapy or a closely related field from a regionally accredited institution, with at least approximately 45 graduate semester hours in specified MFT coursework. Verify exact degree and coursework requirements with the Board.
The Board reportedly accepts a passing score on the national Marriage and Family Therapy Examination sponsored by AMFTRB. Verify the current required examination(s) with the Board.
Reportedly requires a supervised internship of approximately 3,000 hours, including roughly 1,500 hours of direct client contact, under approved supervision. Verify the exact hour totals and supervision requirements 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.
There is no enacted interstate MFT Licensure Compact confirmed for Nevada; the profession has pursued state-by-state portability rather than a traditional compact. Verify current status with the Board and AMFTRB.
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 Nevada Board of Examiners for Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Professional Counselors.
Telehealth marriage and family therapy practice is governed by state law and board rules. Verify current telehealth requirements with the Nevada Board of Examiners for Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Professional Counselors.
