The Pfeiffer Institute for Marriage and Family Therapy (PIMFT) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) therapy clinic. The PIMFT was established to provide training opportunities for master's level graduate students in the Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) Program at Pfeiffer University. The PIMFT therapist interns provide direct services for individuals, couples, families, and groups. Our therapist interns also uphold the Pfeiffer University philosophy, providing servant leadership in the community for other agencies in Charlotte and surrounding counties. The overall goal of our treatment services is to improve the health of individuals, couples, families, and our community. The PIMFT adheres to the rules and regulations of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) Codes of Ethical Principles for Marriage and Family Therapists in the provision of direct and indirect services.
