Parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment for young children with emotional and behavioral disorders that places emphasis on improving the quality of the parent-child relationship and changing parent-child interaction patterns. This therapy is done in an observation room where parents are coached by a therapist who is observing the parent child interaction and coaching via a “bug in the ear” of the parent.  Formal PCIT is 12-20 sessions. As a PCIT certified therapist, I offer some of the basic parenting skills to parents. I do not provide formal PCIT training which includes observation.
