Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
Live-coached sessions where you and your child play together while a therapist guides you in real time — strengthening your relationship and improving behavior.
Overview
What is Parent–Child Interaction Therapy?
Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is conducted through “coaching” sessions. You and your child are together in a playroom while the therapist observes from an adjacent room through a one-way mirror and live video feed.
Using a discreet earpiece, the therapist coaches you in the moment — helping you respond to your child in ways that build warmth, set effective limits, and reduce challenging behavior. Over time, these skills become second nature and transform everyday interactions at home.
