PCIT is a hands-on treatment to help children listen & behave better. Therapists & caregivers work as a team to conquer behavior problems in a practical yet unique way.
Why does PCIT work?
A partner in parenting:
We make step-by-step changes together. You don’t have to try things out on your own, we’re in this together.
Real-time help:
We can instantly see how the skills are working & make tweaks so they work even better.
A formula for success:
We use tried & true techniques to make parenting easier, & we practice until you’ve got it down like second nature.

Hit/ kick/ bite
