The Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a proven, evidence-based therapy that helps improve the relationship between parents and young children, typically ages 2 to 7. It focuses on coaching parents to use positive, consistent interactions and effective discipline strategies to reduce problematic behaviors and strengthen emotional bonds. Through live coaching sessions, a therapist guides parents as they practice new skills, fostering a nurturing environment that supports the child's social and emotional development. PCIT is effective for addressing behavioral challenges, temper tantrums, and improving overall family functioning.
