Counseling Center – Kalamazoo Child and Family Counseling
Kalamazoo Child and Family Counseling is a mental health clinic dedicated to serving children and teens, located at 4341 S. Westnedge, Suite 1112, Kalamazoo, MI 49008. The practice draws clients from Kalamazoo, Portage, Mattawan, and the broader Southwest Michigan region. Clinicians at the practice hold “special training and experience in child development and issues specific to children’s mental health,” according to the website, and all clinical services are grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed frameworks appropriate for pediatric and adolescent populations.
Therapeutic services include individual therapy for children and adolescents, family therapy, play therapy, and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) adapted for teens. The practice also provides Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a structured, evidence-supported program designed to strengthen parenting strategies while simultaneously addressing the child’s behavioral and emotional needs. Teletherapy is available as an alternative to in-person sessions at the Kalamazoo office.
Presenting concerns and diagnostic areas addressed include anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), grief and loss, behavioral disorders such as oppositional defiant disorder, and attachment and relational difficulties. Foster and adoptive families are explicitly identified as a served population, with the practice noting a particular focus on the relational and developmental challenges specific to this group. The practice’s clinical approach is described as rooted in “research-based strategies that are effective with children.”
