Booking an Initial Appointment
Note that we are not currently taking new clients or new referrals. If you would like to be notified when we are again taking new clients please complete the form lower on this page.
We prefer to speak with you over the phone before your first appointment. This ensures we can determine if PCIT is right for your family. We will take the time to learn about your concerns, to discuss your referral or funding arrangements, and answer any questions you might have about the process. Please send us an enquiry through the form below and one of our team members will be in touch!
The duration of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy varies based on your concerns and treatment goals, however, typically the standard protocol takes approximately 15-20 weeks. Sessions are approximately 50 minutes and held on the same day and time on a weekly basis. Sessions involve regular attendance and daily homework, so please be prepared to commit to treatment for this length of time.
Expressions of interest

What Happens if I am Eligible for PCIT?
After determining that PCIT is right for your family, we will schedule your initial appointment, email you a confirmation with your secure and personal Zoom link, and send you some forms to complete prior to your initial appointment. We will book your first ten appointments at this time. We offer appointments Mon-Sun at various times.
If we determine you are not eligible for PCIT, our professional staff can help you find the service that’s right for you.
