Parent-Child Interaction Therapy
The Auburn University Psychological Services Center offers Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an empirically supported intervention for the reduction of behavior problems in young children. During PCIT, parents work with a graduate clinician supervised by a licensed psychologist to learn play therapy skills to enhance their parent-child relationship. Parents also learn to manage child behavior using behavioral principles. Therapists will work with your family until your child’s home behaviors improve. Treatment typically lasts 14-18 weeks, and parents are asked to complete homework assignments with their child between sessions.
Who can participate?
- Parents who have a child between the ages of 2 and 8 years
- Children currently living with one or both parents (may be foster or adoptive parents)
- Children with behavior problems at home, school, pre-school or day care.
- Grandparents, step-parents, and foster parents are welcome to participate
- Any parent who would like to be coached during live interactions with their child
For more information or to schedule an intake appointment, please call 334-844-4889.
Please contact the clinic at 334-844-4889 to be placed on the waiting list and to learn about alternative referral options. Thanks for your patience as well as your continued interest in PCIT services.
Auburn Eating Disorders Clinic
The Auburn Eating Disorders Clinic (AEDC) offers evidence-based treatment, typically cognitive behavioral therapy, which involves regularizing eating, in-session weight monitoring, learning new ways to cope with distressing thoughts and urges about eating/body image, and out-of-session practice exercises. Additionally, we tailor our treatment plans based on evidence and the client’s unique needs. Treatment typically lasts 20-25 weeks and we often recommend working with an interdisciplinary team (e.g. general practitioner, nutritionist, psychiatrist).
Who is a good candidate for AEDC services?
- Individuals 18 and older
- Individuals who are struggling with eating disorders (such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, other-specified feeding and eating disorders, avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) disordered eating, and/or body image concerns
- Note: Individuals with very low body weight and/or unstable vitals are not likely an appropriate fit for our clinic and will be referred for a higher level of care.
