ASSESSMENTS & TESTING

PARENT-CHILD INTERACTION THERAPY (PCIT)

PCIT is a short-term behavior management program lasting 14-18 weeks designed for children ages 2-6 experiencing behavioral and emotional difficulties.

  • PCIT works with the child and caregiver together to improve behavior and reduce parenting stress. 

  • PCIT is an effective treatment backed by more than 30 years of research.

  • Live coaching is a hallmark of PCIT. The therapist observes the caregiver and child together through a two-way mirror, then provides coaching on the PCIT skills.

  • Caregivers and therapists work together to manage challenging child behaviors.
