As you may know, not only do we provide therapy services, our primary jobs are teaching in higher education. We moved to Charlotte at the beginning of 2009 to take two faculty positions and a
clinic director position in the
marriage and family therapy (MFT) program at Pfeiffer University, Charlotte. One of the draws for us was that the MFT program was working on becoming
COAMFTE Accredited.

It's official! The program that we have worked so hard for has earned the COAMFTE Accreditation! Pfeiffer University has sent out a
press release congratulating our program for achieving such a high honor and status. Our MFT program is
1 out of only 3 in North Carolina and 1 out of 110 in the entire United States. As you can tell, we are pretty proud of being part of this grand achievement!
The past two years have been filled with meetings, writing a self-study, teaching, and advising students...all in an effort to make sure we were meeting the standards that COAMFTE has set for our marriage and family therapy field. At times the nights were long and the days were grueling, but all that work has finally paid off.
