PCIT

Tired of getting phone calls from the school about your childs behavior?

• Is your child destructive? For example, does s/he break things on purpose?
• Feeling overwhelmed by your childs tantrums?
• Embarrassed by your childs behavior when out in public?
• Love your child but dont like your child because of challenging behaviors?

PCIT MIGHT BE FOR YOU!

PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for young children with behavioral problems.

The decision to whether PCIT is the most appropriate treatment for you and your child is between you and your mental health professional.

PCIT is conducted through coaching sessions during which you and your child are in a playroom while the therapist is in an observation room watching you interact with your child through a one-way mirror and/or live video feed. You wear a bug-in-the-ear device through which the therapist provides in-the-moment coaching on skills you are learning to manage your childs behavior.

PCIT is done across two treatment phases. The first phase of treatment focuses on establishing warmth in your relationship with your child through learning and applying skills proven to help children feel calm, secure in their relationships with their parents, and good about themselves.
