Group Therapy

Heal Together, Grow Together

At Mala Child & Family Institute, we believe healing doesn’t have to happen alone. Our group therapy services offer a safe, supportive space to connect with others navigating similar challenges. Whether it's building social skills, learning emotional regulation through DBT, practicing mindfulness, or finding community as a parent—our groups are trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and led by experienced clinicians who value each person’s unique story.

We offer groups for children, tweens, teens, and parents both in-person and virtually, making it easier to access community-centered care across Michigan.

And more

Biofeedback

A non-invasive therapy using sensors to help you manage stress and improve health by teaching control over your body’s processes.

Play Therapy

A developmentally attuned therapy that uses play to help children express emotions, build coping skills, and process experiences in a safe, child-led environment.

Executive Functioning

Trauma Informed Care

A compassionate approach to care that prioritizes safety, trust, and empowerment while honoring the impact of past trauma on the body, mind, and relationships.

At Mala, we believe therapy should be more than just helpful—it should feel like coming home to yourself. That’s why our care is:

  • Collaborative – You are the expert in your own story. We work together to set goals that feel right for you or your child.

  • Affirming – We respect and uplift each person’s neurotype, cultural background, gender identity, and lived experience.

  • Holistic – Our team includes therapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and psychiatric providers who collaborate to offer truly integrative care.

We don’t just treat symptoms—we support the whole person, and the whole family.
