Early Childhood clinicians offer Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) at four Canvas Health sites and over telehealth!
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for young children (2-6 years) with behavioral problems. It focuses on enhancing the parent-child relationship and modifying interaction patterns.
PCIT will help with:
Decreasing frequency, severity, and/or duration of tantrums
Decreasing negative attention-seeking behaviors
Increasing feelings of security, safety, and attachment to the primary caregiver
- Decreasing frequency, severity, and/or duration of aggressive behavior
- Decreasing frequency of destructive behavior
- Decreasing defiance
- Increasing compliance with adult requests
- Increasing emotional and behavioral regulation
We can also offer PCIT using the older child protocol to help children ages 7-10!
PCIT is available at our Oakdale, Stillwater, Cottage Grove, and Bloomington locations. If appropriate, it can also be offered over telehealth.
To learn more about PCIT or to make a referral, please call our Early Childhood Admin Support person at (651) 251-5024.
