PCIT helps families replace daily power struggles with connection, consistency, and confidence.
What Is PCIT?
PCIT is one of the most researched treatments for young children with disruptive behaviors. A trained psychologist coaches parents in real time while they practice new skills with their child, building healthier interactions that continue at home.
Who Is PCIT For?
Children typically ages 2–7 who experience frequent tantrums, aggression, defiance, difficulty following directions, emotional dysregulation, ADHD symptoms, or challenges with emotional and behavioral regulation.
