A NATIONAL PCIT CENTER OF EXCELLENCE
PCIT is not one thing we do.
It’s what we’re known for.
We’ve built a national team around one standard: exceptional Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), delivered by leading clinicians chosen for the depth of their experience.
OUR TEAM
Purposefully selected.
Nationally recognized.
Deeply experienced.
Our team includes some of the most experienced PCIT clinicians in the country, chosen for their deep PCIT expertise, specialized skills, and contributions to the field.
Nationwide availability
Available in all PSYPACT participating states.
Evidence-based, research-led
Our team includes trainers, faculty, and active researchers.
Gold-standard treatment
Proven PCIT delivered directly to your home.
Trusted by 100’s of families
And regularly referred to by clinicians and experts.
CHOOSING A PROVIDER
Two excellent options.
One standard of care.
Every family we see receives the same evidence-based PCIT model, tailored to meet your family's unique needs. The difference between our two tiers is the depth of the clinician’s PCIT-specific experience.
PCIT EXPERT
Choose an Expert if…
You want the highest level of PCIT-specific experience available
Your family has tried PCIT or other treatments without enough progress
Your child’s presentation is particularly complex
You prefer a clinician who trains, researches, or teaches PCIT
You are simply looking for the best of the best
$375
for intake
$350
per session
You do not have to prove that your child is “complex enough” to choose an Expert. Some families simply want the greatest depth of PCIT experience available, and that’s a perfectly good reason.
PCIT SPECIALIST
Choose a Specialist if…
You want excellent, evidence-based PCIT at a more accessible rate
You value the support of an expert team behind your clinician
You want an experienced child and family therapist carefully selected by our team
You are comfortable with a clinician who may be completing PCIT certification under direct oversight
$300
for intake
$265
per session
A diagnosis does not automatically determine your tier.
Children with autism, ADHD, trauma histories, anxiety, and other complex needs may work successfully with clinicians in either tier. We carefully consider your child’s needs, preferences, location, clinician availability, and budget together.
MOST EXPERIENCED CLINICIANS
PCIT Experts
$350
$375
per session
for intake
We purposefully sought out some of the most experienced PCIT clinicians practicing across the country.
For families seeking the highest level of PCIT-specific experience available, this is the team we built.
Each of our Experts has guided at least 50 families through PCIT, and many have treated hundreds. They bring specialized expertise in autism, ADHD, trauma, anxiety, complex behavioral concerns, and adapting treatment for families with more complicated needs.
Many are also PCIT trainers, researchers, and faculty members at leading academic and medical institutions. They do not simply practice PCIT. They train other clinicians, lead PCIT programs, and contribute directly to the research that shapes how the treatment is delivered.

Exceptional child and family clinicians, supported by our unusually experienced PCIT Experts.
Our PCIT Specialists are experienced child and family clinicians who are certified through PCIT International or completing certification under the direct supervision of our Training Director.
Clinicians completing certification receive close, case-by-case oversight. The clinician in the room has an experienced trainer behind them at every step. You are never someone’s first PCIT case without expert support.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Choosing your
PCIT clinician
-
No. Both tiers provide the same evidence-based PCIT model. The difference is the clinician’s depth of PCIT-specific experience, not the treatment your family receives.
-
Our Specialists are either certified through PCIT International or actively completing certification under direct supervision from our Training Director. Clinicians on the certification track receive close, case-by-case oversight.
-
Not necessarily. A diagnosis alone does not determine the best tier. We consider your child’s full clinical picture, your goals, your preferences, and the individual clinician’s specialties.
-
Our Training Director reviews treatment closely, meets regularly with the clinician, and provides guidance throughout the case to protect treatment fidelity and help your family make progress.
-
Yes. That is exactly what your matching call is for. We will learn about your family and recommend the clinician and tier that make the most sense for your needs.
