Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) in Charlotte, NC
If you’re facing daily battles with tantrums, defiance, or frequent communication breakdowns, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) could be a beneficial solution for your family.
As a leading evidence-based treatment, PCIT is designed to help parents of toddlers and young children (ranging from two to seven years old) manage challenging behaviors while concurrently building a more positive relationship with their child.
