Taking the first step is usually the most difficult part. The decision to try therapy takes courage; but can result in the promise of hope for change, insight, a new direction and then finally solutions. I describe my work as insight-oriented, cognitive behavioral, relational and free from blame or guilt. Colleagues and clients have called my style authentic, direct, compassionate and warm. “Dina listened to us and helped us facilitate fair communication. My relationship with my wife is better because we communicate better. Thanks Dina” - JL

Sometimes taking this first step is the hardest. You might be unsure if counseling is for you, and whether or not your counselor really cares. Sometimes we just need someone to listen to what's going on without judgement or unsolicited advice. One of the most challenging parts of therapy is it requires you to be an active participant in your growth journey. My hope is to walk alongside you in the valleys and mountains to find meaning, hope, and transformation through all the chaos. I would love to get to know you and what brings you to counseling now.

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.
