Although anxiety can be helpful for us in our daily life, too much anxiety can make it more challenging for us to live the life we want. Other life difficulties can also feel like obstacles that need to be overcome. We can feel overwhelmed and powerless in those moments. Know that in these hard times, you are absolutely brave. You are also not alone. If you are interested in wanting more support with these challenges in a safe and open-minded environment, you have come to the right place!

Are you wishing your child or your spouse came with an instruction manual? Family relationships are how children and adults come to understand themselves and the world and is what all of us most want to get right. So, when children struggle, parents struggle. And when couple falter, the kids feel it, too. My goal in counseling is to help partners, parents and kids build on the love and strengths they already have, learning new ways to interact, communicate, and solve problems. My experience and philosophy both tell me that kids and adults do well when they can. And when we feel better, we all do better.

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.
