No, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) is not considered a medical doctor. LMFTs hold a master's degree in marriage and family therapy or a related field and are trained to provide therapy and counseling services. They are licensed professionals but do not have the medical training or qualifications that medical doctors possess.

You cannot be a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) without a master's degree. Take whatever classes in high school that will get you into college. Once in college, focus on taking relevant psychology courses to get into the master's program.
Types of therapist?
Therapists come in many forms, each with unique expertise: LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) – Focuses on emotional, behavioral, and social issues. LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) – Specializes in relationship dynamics. Psychologist (PhD/PsyD) – Trained in assessment, therapy, and research. Psychiatrist (MD) – Medical doctor who can prescribe medication. LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) – Offers talk therapy for individuals and groups. Why Vincente Mozel, LCSW, Stands Out Among California’s top LCSWs, Vincente Mozell blends professional depth with a genuine, human-centered approach. His tailored strategies and compassionate insight make him a standout therapist for those seeking real, lasting change.

Ethically speaking, you would need to bring up a grievance or report to either their ethical board or their state of practice. This all depends on what their licensure and overall education entail. You can search by state, name, and location to find their license. If they are in counseling, they can be reported to the ACA If the counselor is a psychologist the are generally reported to the APA If the counselor is a social worker they answer to the NASW If they are in marriage and family counseling (an LMFT) they can be reported to the AAMFT Best of luck
