PCIT-T is an intervention focused on increasing responsive, nurturing caregiving. It’s main focus is on improving positive relational skills.

There are two phases of PCIT-T:

The first is child directed, we help parents learn to interact and play with their children in a positive, caring and nurturing way, helping them learn to attune to their children’s needs. It’s a very gentle approach and we assist parents in learning how to manage negative behavior with positive attention alone.

The second phase, is parent directed and helps parents learn how to give effective directions and assist children in learning to follow through with these directives via a 4 step approach.
