Evidence-Based Parent-Child Support | Serving Plano, Fort Worth, and Texas Families
If you feel stuck in power struggles, frustrated with your child’s behavior, or unsure how to respond—you’re not alone.
Many parents come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and worried they’re doing something wrong. You may feel disconnected from your child, caught in constant conflict, or unsure how to help them regulate their emotions.
Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on strengthening the parent-child relationship while addressing children’s behavioral, emotional, social, and attachment disorders.
CPRT is a treatment program that consists of 10 weekly sessions.
Throughout the program, parents/caregivers will learn parenting skills and techniques from a trained play therapist, to effectively communicate with their children and understand their emotional and behavioral needs.
Child-Parent Relationship Therapy may be beneficial to you if you:
- Struggle to understand your child’s emotions and behaviors
- Feel frustrated with your child’s behaviors
- Are searching for ways to support your child’s social-emotional development
- Want to strengthen the quality of the parent-child attachment bond
- Want to provide more opportunities for your children to thrive both socially and emotionally
- Struggle with responding to your child’s difficult behaviors
- Feel out of control in interactions with your child
- Want to gain support from other parents in the community
- Want to feel closer to your child
During CPRT, parents/caregivers learn and practice skills to respond to their child’s underlying needs to address symptoms. Parents/caregivers also learn to effectively limit their child’s misbehavior. In CPRT, parents/caregivers implement the skills in weekly play sessions with their child and get feedback on their skills from a trained CPRT facilitator. Ultimately, CPRT aims to create a more nurturing, understanding, and connected parent-child bond, while enhancing your child’s emotional and behavioral development.
