Services Offered
Dr. Nafisi offers a range of services to support individuals and families, including individual therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), workshops, and speaking engagements. Each service is thoughtfully designed to provide practical tools and insights that help clients navigate challenges and build resilience.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
As a certified PCIT therapist, I work closely with parents and their young children (typically ages 2 to 7) to strengthen their relationship and address challenging behaviors. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is an evidence-based approach that combines play and behavioral techniques to improve communication, reduce disruptive behaviors, and enhance emotional connection. Through live coaching sessions, I guide parents in real-time interactions, helping them implement effective strategies that foster positive change and resilience within the family.
