Therapy Services Offered 

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment designed to improve the relationship between parents and their young children while addressing emotional and behavioral challenges. Although typically used with children ages 2 to 7, we also offer PCIT Older Child Adaptation for ages 7.5-10. PCIT focuses on enhancing positive parent-child interactions, increasing child compliance, and reducing disruptive behaviors such as tantrums, defiance, and aggression.

PCIT has been shown to reduce child behavior problems, improve emotional regulation, and increase positive parent-child attachment. It also helps parents feel more confident and effective in managing their child’s behavior. The skills learned in PCIT are designed to create lasting, positive changes in both the child’s behavior and the overall family dynamic.

In PCIT, parents are coached in real time by a trained and certified PCIT therapist while they engage in play or structured interactions with their child. The therapist guides parents on how to use specific skills to strengthen warmth, trust, and effective communication, as well as consistent and calm discipline strategies.

Our ADHD assessment is an evaluation process that aims to determine whether you or your child are experiencing symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This assessment typically involves a multi-faceted approach, drawing upon input from various sources to gain a thorough understanding of you or your child’s cognitive, behavioral, and functional abilities. At the start, our trained licensed mental health counselor will conduct an assessment focused solely on Executive Functioning, you or your child’s developmental history, current symptoms, and any impairments you or your child may be experiencing throughout daily life. This discussion provides crucial insights into the onset, duration, and severity of potential ADHD-related challenges, and will be followed up with assessment results and ADHD psychoeducation. 

The assessment will include the licensed mental health counselor making a well-informed determination about whether you or your child meets the diagnostic criteria for ADHD. This assessment process ensures that any ADHD diagnosis is grounded in a thorough person-centered evaluation, paving the way for targeted, evidence-based therapies and support, as well as any needed educational supports.
