Purpose
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a behavioral intervention designed to improve the relationships between parents and their children. The therapy involves coaching sessions where parents interact with their child in a playroom while a therapist observes from an observation room. Using a "bug-in-the-ear" device, the therapist provides real-time guidance to help parents develop effective strategies to manage their child's behavior and enhance their parenting skills. This-on approach fosters a supportive environment for both parents and children to thrive.

Benefits
Research shows that Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) significantly improves child behavior, reducing disruptive actions and enhancing compliance by strengthening parent-child relationships through structured coaching. Studies also highlight its effectiveness in decreasing parental stress and increasing confidence in managing challenging behaviors.
