Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is a specialized, evidence-based approach that empowers parents to show up grounded in their values when teaching their children about their emotions, ways to express them, and coping with intense feelings. PCIT is delivered virtually and takes place in a family's home using headphones and a tablet or computer camera for coaching sessions.
