To amend title 38, United States Code, to establish qualifications for the appointment of a person as a marriage and family therapist, qualified to provide clinical supervision, in the Veterans Health Administration.

This bill establishes specific qualifications for marriage and family therapists working within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) who provide clinical supervision to other therapists. To be eligible for such a position, a therapist must first meet existing qualifications (from the current law) and also either hold a state license authorizing clinical supervision in their state or be designated as an approved supervisor by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). The change directly affects VHA therapists seeking roles that include clinical supervision, ensuring they meet standardized, verifiable credentials. This policy update replaces vague eligibility language with concrete, measurable requirements for these clinical roles.
