Clear Minded Counseling

We have exciting news to share! We've added another PCIT Certified Therapist to our team, which means we now have immediate openings for PCIT services over the internet/telehealth.

Our current openings, all over telehealth, include:
* Tuesdays at 8 am, 9 am, 10 am, 11 am, 12 pm, 1 pm, & 2 pm
 

We understand that scheduling therapy sessions can be challenging, as it often means your child will miss school or daycare. We want to assure you that Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) offers significant benefits that can make this worthwhile.

 

Since its creation in 1970, PCIT has been extensively researched, and studies consistently show that it leads to:

* Improved emotional regulation

* Improved child compliance with teacher requests

* Increased attention span

* Decreased hyperactivity

* More frequent prosocial behaviors like sharing and taking turns

 

These positive changes ultimately contribute to your child's success in school, especially if they are experiencing behavioral issues, which might already have resulted in write ups or suspensions.

 

You might be wondering if PCIT is still beneficial for children who are not having behavioral issues at school or daycare, but are struggling at home. Children who frequently experience defiance, aggression, tantrums, or attention-seeking behaviors with their parents often face challenges such as negative self-esteem, decreased confidence, difficulties forming healthy peer relationships, and increased stress, depression, or anxiety.

 

While the decision to have your child miss school for sessions is ultimately yours, we believe that the improved emotional well-being, healthier behaviors, strengthened parent-child relationship, and other benefits derived from PCIT are invaluable.
