About the Founder Directions | Faculty and Board of Director Members
The Colorado School for Family Therapy was founded in 1995 as a collaborative effort between educational, religious, charitable, and mental health organizations. Until 1999 it was known as the Rocky Mountain Institute for Psychotherapy, Supervision and Training, Inc. From 1999 until 2006, the name of the School was The Family Therapy/Play Therapy Institute. The School developed training tracks for play therapy, clinical supervision, pastoral and Christian counseling, chemical addiction counseling, and marriage and family therapy. It is a legal State of Colorado non-profit organization and an IRS 501©(3) tax-exempt organization. Particular School concerns for students include diversity; business, career, leadership development and licensure preparation. In 1997 the Marriage and Family Therapy Training Program graduated its first group of graduates. Each graduate has gone on to make a significant contribution to the field of psychotherapy and marriage and family therapy in Colorado. In 1995, when the School was founded, there were no African-American AAMFT Clinical Members, LMFTs, or Approved Supervisors in Colorado. Through the educational efforts of the School, 14 graduates became AAMFT Clinical Members. As of May 2002, there are now 15 African-American AAMFT Clinical Members, 6 African American LMFTs, and 5 AAMFT African-American Approved Supervisors among the graduates and former students of the School. The School has contributed significantly to the diversity of the field of marriage and family therapy in Colorado and as a whole. The School is proud of its ability to train therapists and provide systemic relational therapy. In 2001, after a site visit, the School MFT program received candidacy status with the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE) effective July 31, 2001 to July 31, 2006. In 2006, the School MFT program was accredited by COAMFTE. The mission of the School is: “Providing Quality Systemic / Relational Therapy to Diverse Individuals, Couples, and Families and Teaching, Supervising, and Mentoring the Next Generation of Therapists for Diversity, Business and Career Development, Licensure and Leadership in Providing Systemic / Relational Therapy to Diverse Individuals, Couples and Families.”
