Clinician - Early Childhood Mental Health and PCIT:

Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based parent training treatment for young children with emotional and behavioral disorders that places emphasis on improving the quality of the parent-child relationship and changing parent-child interaction patterns. Sessions consist of live, in-the-moment coaching for adult caregivers as they interact with their child to decrease stress in the parent-child relationship, learn therapeutic parenting skills to promote positive communication, and set appropriate limits.
