You’re already exhausted from parenting every day. The last thing you want is to spend hours researching child behavior experts and driving to appointments to see who is a good fit.
We offer free referral services to therapists certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) & the Parent-Child Care Protocol (PC-CARE) developed at UC Davis Children’s Hospital. We’ll help you find the right family therapist near you who accepts your insurance.
PCIT and PC-CARE are research-based family therapy models that provide parents with specific tools to manage difficult child behaviors such as hitting, kicking, biting, tantrums and refusing to follow directions and that help repair and strengthen the parent-child relationship that can be taxed by a child’s difficult behaviors.
Research shows that PCIT can have a dramatic impact on child behavior in as little as 14 weeks and PC-CARE in as little as 7 weeks.
We also offer assistance finding local resources for families and with finding unique solutions for insurance coverage when there are no local PCIT or PC-CARE therapists who accept your insurance.
Contact us today so we can help you find the best therapist to support you and your family.
