✨ NEW TEEN DBT GROUP LAUNCHING SOON! ✨

When emotions feel overwhelming, having the right skills can make all the difference. At Mala Child & Family Institute, our Teen Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Group helps adolescents build practical, evidence-based skills to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

Through weekly group sessions, teens (ages 13–18) learn how to:
🧠 Regulate intense emotions
🌿 Build healthy coping strategies
💬 Strengthen relationships and communication
🌬️ Effectively tolerate distress
🧘‍♀️ Practice mindfulness and self-awareness in everyday life

More than just learning skills, participants become part of a supportive community where they can connect with peers, feel understood, and realize they don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. Our 16-week DBT program is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and designed to help teens build lasting tools for emotional wellness—with parent involvement to reinforce skills beyond the therapy room.

👥 Designed for teens ages 13-18 years old
📅 Wednesdays, 7:00-8:30 PM, Starting September 23rd
📍 Mala's Farmington Hills Office
💳 In-network with BCBS, Aetna, & Priority Health, or $85/session out-of-pocket

Shelly joins Mala with a passion for neurodiversity-affirming care, sensory regulation, mental health, and trauma-informed practice.

With specialization in working with neurodivergent children, teens, and adults, as well as individuals with complex psychosocial needs, Shelly brings a collaborative, creative, and compassionate approach to every session. Her goal is to empower clients across the lifespan to increase independence, strengthen daily living skills, and thrive in the environments that matter most to them.
