Teenagers often carry more self judgement than they let on. When their inner voice becomes harsh it can affect confidence, motivation, and emotional wellbeing. Small shifts from parents can make a big difference. Listening with intention, keeping expectations realistic, and modeling healthy self talk helps teens build a more balanced view of themselves over time.

If your teen is struggling with self criticism or feeling overwhelmed, Kalamazoo Child and Family Counseling is here to support your family with guidance, tools, and a space where teens feel understood.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Intensive Outpatient Program beginning January nineteenth. This program is designed for teens ages 13-17 who need more support than weekly therapy can provide but do not require inpatient care.

With after school sessions three days a week, teens can continue their school day while receiving structured DBT based care that includes group therapy, individual sessions, family support, and skill development.
