Your license and ability to practice is constantly under scrutiny. We track legislation that could limit LMFTs and make sure your role stays protected, respected, and included in all key decisions.
We’re advocating for more roles for LMFTs and always monitoring for ways we can appropriately increase our scope of practice — so your skills can make a bigger impact.
Item descriptionWe’re building strong connections with lawmakers and growing a network of LMFT advocates across Georgia. When we speak up together, we get things done.
Georgia needs more mental health professionals, especially in rural areas. We’re working to make licensure faster and more affordable, expand training programs, and support student loan repayment to bring more people into the field.
We’re fighting for mental health parity and more comprehensive insurance reimbursement for LMFTs - including Medicaid. When MFTs are included in more networks, you can reach more clients and get paid fairly for your work.
Every legislative session brings new bills that may impact our licensure, mental healthcare, or the well-being of Georgians. Click here to see what we’re tracking for 2026.
