1. Agreement with Values Expectations. Please refer to Eligibility for Therapists: Values Expectations. If you contact a therapist listed on the National Registry of Marriage Friendly Therapists (the “Registry”), you are expressing your desire to find a marriage therapist supportive of your marriage.
2. Therapist Eligibility and Your Role. We will use reasonable means to evaluate the educational, license, training and experience credentials of a therapist applying for listing on the Registry. Necessarily, we will rely to a great extent on the representation of each therapist that the therapist agrees with the values expectations of the Registry. If and to the extent that we become aware that a therapist’s credentials are not accurate or that the therapist is not competent or does support the values of the Registry, we will remove the therapist from listing on the Registry. No process is perfect. Even though you have chosen a therapist from the Registry, you must continue to be a critical consumer. If the therapist is not a good fit for you, find another therapist from the Registry who is a good fit. If, however, you believe that the therapist is deficient in ability, training, methods or supportive values, please provide us with feedback at Client Feedback.
3. Feedback on Therapy. Please refer to Client Feedback for a statement of the importance that we will place on client feedback and the knowledge that we hope to obtain from that feedback. Although you will not be required to provide feedback if you choose a therapist from the Registry, we hope that you will contribute so that we are better equipped to fulfill our mission.
