The Virginia Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (VAMFT) is the Virginia division of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), an international professional organization which was founded in 1942.

VAMFT is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to promoting the well-being of families, couples, individuals, and businesses through the advancement of the profession and practice of marriage and family therapy in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

VAMFT is a multidisciplinary organization made up of Virginians who are clinical, student, and associate members of AAMFT. They include marriage and family therapists, clinical social workers, clinical nurse practitioners, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, professional counselors, substance abuse counselors, and other professionals in allied fields.

VAMFT promotes and helps maintain high professional standards of ethics and practice for its members. It encourages continued professional education, and works cooperatively with the Virginia Board of Counseling to upgrade qualifications for licensure.

VAMFT seeks to work cooperatively with other mental health professional organizations in Virginia, and is a member of several multiprofessional coalitions including Allied Professions and Virginians for Mental Health Equity. Caring for the Commonwealth is the official VAMFT newsletter. It is published at least three times a year.
