Get help with challenging behaviors

What is PCIT?
PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for children between the ages of 2 and 6 with behavior challenges.

​What Can I Expect in PCIT Sessions?
In PCIT sessions, parents are involved in the sessions and receive in the moment “coaching” by the therapist.  The therapist observes parents interacting with the child. As the parent, you are given in-the-moment feedback on skills you are learning to help you manage your child’s behavior effectively.
