Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) Groups
What is Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) Groups?
Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidenced-based behavioral therapy that teaches parents child-centered play therapy techniques and strategies to manage undesired behaviors. PCIT treatment is most effective for children ages 2 and ½ to 7 years old who have difficulty regulating their emotions.
Where to begin
Claudia Camargo is a certified PCIT therapist and specializes in treating young children. Using the PCIT approach, Claudia coaches parenting skills that promote enhanced communication, increased cooperation, and emotion regulation in children.
What Are the Groups Age Range?
Claudia’s PCIT group is designed for parents with children ages 0-7. Through 6-10 group sessions, Claudia will teach parents how to apply PCIT skills at home with their children. Additionally, she will help parents understand how to set limits in a positive way, without rupturing attachment with their children.
