Adolescent & Family Behavioral Health Services (AFBHS) was founded by Dr. Valencia Agnew. It is a private group practice with two Michigan locations in Grand Rapids and Saginaw which provides clients with the support, tools, and structure that will assist them in living life verses just existing. AFBHS provides mental health/counseling services specifically tailored to the needs of individuals, adults, kids, adolescents, families, and couples through the use of evidence-based approaches. The practice is comprised of mental health professionals of diverse ethnicity, backgrounds, education, and training who specialize in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) who provide the highest quality of clinical services and training for clients, the community, and other professionals. We are the only private practice in the area to offer a comprehensive DBT program and the only practice in West Michigan to offer a Family Matters group. We are the only practice in Michigan to have participated in specialized DBT-Children’s training. In addition to our practice specialties, each therapist maintains additional specialties and certifications of their specific interest such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocess (EMDR) or substance abuse treatment.
