Child-Parent Relationship Therapy

A 10-week structured program that empowers parents with therapeutic skills to deepen connection.

What is CPRT?

The parent-child relationship is the most powerful force in a child's emotional development.

Child-Parent Relationship Training (CPRT) is a structured, evidence-based 10-week program that strengthens the bond between parents and their children through the power of therapeutic play.

It equips parents with the skills, insight, and confidence to become a therapeutic presence in their child's life — creating a safe, nurturing connection that supports lasting emotional growth.

Rather than working with the child alone, CPRT places the parent at the heart of the therapeutic process.
