Who is PCIT for?

PCIT is effective for children ages 2 to 7 who struggle with disruptive behaviors including tantrums, aggressive behaviors, and difficulty following directions. If your child's behavior is causing daily stress or is impacting your relationship with your child, PCIT may be a great fit.

I can help assess if PCIT is the right for your family.
