What is Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)?
​
-
PCIT is the only evidenced based (science backed) behavioral therapy for families with children ages 2-7.9.
-
PCIT works with parents AND their young children together to reduce externalizing behaviors such as aggression, ADHD, ADD, ODD, depression, anxiety, and/or any unwanted behaviors.
-
PCIT is delivered in your home, remotely. We can’t expect change to come solely from the therapist’s office. Change must occur within our natural environment.
-
PCIT is a treatment developed by a female researcher named Dr. Shelia Eyberg and has been studied for the last 30 years by behavioral research universities.
-
PCIT has two components:
-
Relationship enhancement (parents are taught how to decrease negative attributions towards child and to develop and foster communication).
-
Strategies for compliance (parents learn specific skills for effective discipline and behavioral management).
-

During PCIT, the parent wears a listening device,
such as a Bluetooth,
which allows the therapists to provide in the moment feedback,
to help parents in real time,
as they interact with their child.
Therapy is live coaching.
