For over 20 years, Dr. Jorge Galindo has been a counselor and therapist and an expert in court-referred assessment and the treatment of families, sharing his practice with his wife Miriam Galindo, Psy.D., in Irvine, California. Engaged with his industry and peers, Dr. Jorge Galindo is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).
CAMFT is an industry organization serving the interests of California-based LMFTs. According to the CAMFT, LMFTs are licensed psychotherapists, counselors, and healing arts practitioners who help individuals, families, and groups live more satisfactory lives by assessing and treating specific conditions. As mental care providers, LMFTs can specialize in child and adolescent issues, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, marital problems, and more. The process of becoming an LMFT is complex, with a set of educational and professional requirements that include studying in a board-certified institution and receiving a doctor’s or master’s degree in marriage, family, and child counseling, counseling psychology, marriage, and family therapy, among other related courses. Besides the education requirements, LMFT candidates need to have at least two years of supervised experience in associated areas, such as psychotherapy and marriage and family therapy. After fulfilling all requirements, the therapist can be tested for their ability through the MFT licensing exams, which are challenging, competency-based tests.
