Parent Child Interaction Therapy
As a parent of a young child…
You might feel frustrated by your child’s outbursts. You have tried connecting with them when they’re having big feelings, but it isn’t working. Their emotions feel out of control, and you feel trapped in endless power struggles with them. You also may be worried about your child’s self-esteem, fearing that they see themselves as the “bad” kid. They may also not be as confident or self-assured as you’d like, hanging back in situations when you’d like them to get in there!
Therapy can help you deepen your connection with your child, all while learning new ways to respond to them that actually prevent meltdowns and build confidence.
I am trained and certified in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which is a therapy for you and your child together. PCIT can help you share more moments of joy, and can help your child follow your lead when they have to! You are the most important person to your child, and in our work together, my focus will be on helping YOU help your child. A therapist is a temporary person in a child’s life, and a parent is forever, so my aim is to give you the skills you a great relationship with your child for years to come.
