How Michigan Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist license verification works

A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Michigan is licensed by the MI Behavioral Health / Counseling & Social Work Boards. PrimaryCheck looks the license up live at the board's public verification system (board lookup) by license number, or by name when no number is supplied. The record the board publishes is captured as evidence, hashed, and rendered into a proof PDF.

Fields returned for this board: name license_number license_type status issued expires county disciplinary_actions related_records.

Board note: MiPLUS: lmsw/lcsw = Masters Social Worker (MI has one LMSW licence), lpc = Licensed Professional Counselor, lmft, psychologist, bcba = Behavior Analyst; lada (substance use) is MCBAP certification, not on this site
