Modifies requirements for licensure in marriage and family therapy.
This bill updates the licensing requirements for marriage and family therapists and associate marriage and family therapists in New Jersey. It lowers the supervised experience requirement from three years to two years and reduces the waiting period after failing a licensing exam from six months to 90 days. The legislation also clarifies how applicants with degrees in related fields can qualify for licensure by completing additional accredited training. These changes directly affect individuals seeking professional licensure in the state's mental health field.
