Parent Coaching
How can parent coaching help my child?
It may surprise you, but one of the most effective and well-established interventions for young children with ADHD is parent coaching. When parents learn specific, evidence-based tools, children experience meaningful improvements in behavior, emotional regulation, and family connection.
What is Parent Coaching?
Parent coaching is an evidence-based form of counseling proven to reduce common childhood behavioral challenges such as:
- Aggression
- Defiance (Tantrums or a short temper)
- Difficulty following directions
- Impulsivity
During coaching sessions, parents learn and practice new approaches to parenting with their child. You’ll receive personalized guidance, in-the-moment coaching, and practical tools you can start using right away at home.
Each session focuses on improving behavior and deepening the parent-child relationship through warmth, structure, and play.
What to Expect
- Treatment typically lasts 12–14 weeks
- Parents attend weekly sessions
- At-home practice is assigned to reinforce learning

What is Parent-Child Interaction Therapy?
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidenced-based therapy that is effective at reducing common childhood behavioral issues such as aggression, defiance, short temper, and non-compliance.
During PCIT sessions, parents are coached in real-time as they play with their children and practice new parenting skills.
Each session is focused on improving your child’s behavior and strengthening the quality of the parent-child relationship.
Treatment typically lasts between 12-14 weeks. Parents are expected to attend weekly sessions and complete daily homework assignments with their child.
