Services

Therapy: individual therapy for children, adolescents and adults; family therapy; parenting skills; and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).

School consultation and visits: observation in the school setting, collaboration with teachers, help with program modifications, and resources for school staff. Dr. Kalnicki works with the other people in your child’s life for a holistic approach.

Parent sessions (a specialty): time with parents on their own, to work on strategies, routines and what’s happening at home, even if your child isn’t in therapy.

Therapy Details

​Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is tailored to your needs.  Some problems may suggest exploration of underlying issues and continuing patterns of behaviors; others may indicate play therapy approaches, and still others might suggest more behavioral or manualized approaches.  Some may work best with a combination of these.  

A thorough understanding of why you came to therapy, and a positive therapeutic connection with me ensure that we work together to reach your goals in a way that best suits you.

​Family Therapy, including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy

Like individual therapy, family therapy is also tailored to the needs of each family.  In some cases, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) may be beneficial to you and your family's goals.  PCIT is an evidence-based approach that has proven to improve attention, compliance, and prosocial behaviors in children ages 2-7, and in so doing makes relationships between parents and children that much more gratifying.  

My PCIT practices come from my view that you know your child best.  Let's combine that with tools to help alleviate negative interactions that create stress and power struggles in your home, at school, and other places your child may be struggling.  Technology, such as live coaching through a wireless earpiece and video cameras, allow you and your child to be alone in a room so that you can take home effective parenting skills to make your interactions more positive and successful.
