During the 5+ years as a therapist I have specialized in working with adolescents and young adults in the areas of Depression, Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Self-esteem, GAD, OCD, PTSD, Parent-Child Interaction, ADHD, and Bipolar Disorder.
I believe that one of the bravest and scariest things to do is reach out for help. Many people see therapy as a stigmatize thing for only those that are in desperate cry for help and have no other choice. I can promise you that this is far from what therapy really is. Therapy is about having a safe place to open up and not be judged. It is a place to feel like FINALLY someone understands you and relates to your problems. I want to help you achieve whatever life changes you are looking for while in turn providing the most real and authentic experience.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidenced based program that helps parents learn strategies to strengthen their relationship with their child and reduce disruptive behaviors.
Is your child disruptive, throw/break things when upset, do you avoid going out because of your child’s behavior in public, does your child have a hard time following instructions, does your child have a hard time sharing/taking turns, or has a hard time sitting still? I serve families and children who struggles managing disruptive behaviors like aggressive and oppositional behavior, anxiety, and noncompliance. Through PCIT, I help families increased attachments with their child, have more frequent positive interactions, and improve self-confidence in managing child’s behaviors.

Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists

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.
