Often people come into therapy when their efforts to connect with the people who are most important to them are being misinterpreted, leading to strained relationships. In my experience, the key to shifting this dynamic is reinforcing genuine connection and nurturing emotional safety. I have experience supporting clients in managing challenges related to pregnancy and the postpartum period, relationships, life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, parenting concerns, behavioral challenges, and parent-child interactions.

Does your child or teen struggle with managing their emotions and behaviors? Do you need help in supporting your child's emotional needs? Does your parent-child relationship need to grow? Does your family need support to cope with a traumatic event or difficult life stressors? I work with children as young as three, neurodiverse clients with ADHD and learning challenges, and clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and anger. I use neurodiversity affirming, person-centered, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed frameworks to provide my clients lasting change.

Hi my name is Dr. Andrea Morrison. I have over 20 years experience helping people with a multitude of concerns and worries. I have been a Licensed Psychologist for 17 years first with my masters then obtaining my Doctorate. When you are filling out a checkbox for what you are looking for in a therapist or a client it is ironic to me. I have always been person-centered with a solution-focused approach. My main approach is CBT but EACH person is unique in their needs. I meet them where they are, learn where they want to be and tailor the treatment goals in that manner. In that sense, I am eclectic and diverse in my approach.

Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists

Does parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) work?

PCIT is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to be effective across domains, including for children with behavioral problems, those on the autism spectrum, and those who have experienced early childhood trauma. Further, studies have found that the skills developed through PCIT benefit not only the child in therapy but also siblings, as the parent internalizes lessons learned in sessions and is able to incorporate them into interactions with other family members.

How long does PCIT last?

The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and treatment lasts, on average, between 12 and 20 sessions. Factors that influence treatment duration include how regularly a client attends treatment, how much progress is achieved between sessions, the particular skills that need development, and the extent to which the parent and therapist see improvement.

Can PCIT be done online?

PCIT is among the therapy types best suited for video sessions. Therapists are able to communicate with parents with essentially the same ease, and by observing the parent and child at home in their normal environment, the therapist may gain additional insight into their interactions, as the child will have their normal toys and may feel more comfortable and act more naturally than they would in a therapist’s room.

Does PCIT help parents?

In addition to the skills parents develop through the treatment, PCIT has also been shown to reduce frustration, stress, and depression in parents and promote confidence and a sense of calm when dealing with their children. The desired outcomes of PCIT include a reduction in defiant and aggressive behavior by children and an improvement in communicating their feelings productively, complying with parental instruction, and behaving according to parents’ rules. Growth in these areas can be a relief for parents.
