Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a hands-on, research-backed program that helps children develop better listening skills and improved behavior. Working closely with your family’s therapist, parents learn practical tools and techniques to address challenging behaviors at home.

Recognized worldwide as the most effective approach for childhood behavioral issues, PCIT has helped thousands of families build stronger relationships while successfully managing difficult behaviors.

Children Ages 2-7 years old.

PCIT helps families with children who are struggling with behaviors like:

• Frequent meltdowns and tantrums
• Refusing to listen or follow directions
• Hitting, kicking, or aggressive behavior
• Back talk, arguing, or disrespectful language
• Excessive whining or crying
• Acting out to get attention
• High energy and trouble focusing
• Behavior problems at school, preschool, or daycare

PCIT is designed for any caregiver who wants to strengthen their relationship with their child:

• Parents (biological, step, or single)
• Foster and adoptive families
• Grandparents or other family members raising children

PCIT typically involves 12-20 weekly sessions, each lasting one hour. The exact number of sessions varies based on your family’s unique needs and progress. Our commitment is to work with you until you feel confident using the new parenting techniques and see lasting improvements in your child’s behavior.

Most families begin noticing positive changes within the first few sessions, providing early encouragement as you build new skills together.
