Why do marriage and family therapists (MFTs) need insurance?

Working to improve your clients’ closest relationships places you at risk of lawsuits over your advice and results. Your practice is also susceptible to everyday risks, such as injuries and property damage. Business insurance can cover attorney's fees, medical expenses, and other unexpected costs that could devastate your small practice.
