What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT?
CBT is an evidence-based approach that guides the client to make life and behavior changes through active exploration of the connection between thoughts, feeling and behaviors. It is present focused and goal oriented, offering practical strategies and problem solving to address specific life situations and build resilience.
Parent Child Interaction Therapy
PCIT is a specialized, evidence-based treatment program designed for parents of young children (ages 2-7 years) who experience emotional and/or behavioral regulation difficulties. This therapy involves coaching the caregiver on how to respond to child behavior and utilize positive discipline in a supportive, play-based environment to help the child develop improved prosocial behavior and frustration tolerance. PCIT has also been adapted for use with older children (ages 7-10 years) and their parents.
