Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment for children exhibiting various behavioral challenges. It is conducted through a series of "playtime coaching" sessions during which you and your child interact while we communicate by a live video feed and unobtrusive audio headset. PCIT has been studied extensively and has been found to be a highly effective intervention for a wide range of behavioral and emotional issues.

Pediatric Behavioral Pain Management

Whether your child’s pain is the result of an injury, a chronic illness, or any other cause, it can affect all areas of a child’s life. This impact can range from daily functioning to family relationships.  Pain is highly complex and is as unique as each child.  An individualized cognitive-behavioral intervention can interrupt the cycle of pain and promote self-regulation skills and healing.  Common pain conditions include:

• Acute pain from surgery or injury

• Abdominal pain

• Headache

• Joint and back pain

• Stomach aches 

• Neuropathic pain
