About Kalamazoo Child and Family Counseling
Kalamazoo Child & Family Counseling is a pediatric mental health practice serving children, teens, and families in Kalamazoo and throughout Southwest Michigan.
Our multidisciplinary team provides child- and family-centered mental health services, including therapy, psychological testing, pediatric psychiatric medication management, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), adolescent intensive outpatient treatment, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
We are open and welcoming to all families and work to create a safe, respectful environment where each child, caregiver, and family feels seen, supported, and understood. Our care is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and the belief that every family deserves thoughtful mental health support that honors its unique story, strengths, and needs.
A Pediatric and Family-Centered Approach
Children are not simply smaller adults. Their mental health care should reflect their development, relationships, family environment, individual strengths, and ways of communicating.
Our pediatric focus allows us to provide services designed specifically around the needs of children and adolescents. Caregivers are important members of the treatment process, and we work collaboratively with families to understand concerns, establish meaningful goals treatment goals, and support lasting progress.
When appropriate, we also collaborate with schools, primary care providers, therapists, courts, hospitals, and other professionals involved in a child’s care.
