Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment designed to improve the relationship between young children (typically ages 2–7) and their caregivers while addressing challenging behaviors. PCIT combines play therapy and behavioral techniques, empowering parents with real-time coaching to strengthen positive interactions, set consistent limits, and reduce disruptive behaviors. It’s especially helpful for families navigating oppositional defiance, ADHD, trauma, or attachment concerns. Sessions are structured, supportive, and tailored to each family’s needs, fostering lasting emotional and behavioral change.

Greater Minnesota Family Services collaborates with various community agencies to provide services for children birth to five. We believe strongly in the benefits of early intervention. Our trained counselors and therapists are able to identify, treat, and even prevent mental health, developmental, or relationship difficulties within very young children and their families. We are able to meet a wide variety of needs such as help with discipline, aggressive behavior, sleep disturbances, social skills and we focus heavily on helping children and their caregivers build secure relationships. Services may be provided in children's homes, daycares, schools, or in the community.
