What is Child-Parent Relationship Therapy ?
Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) is a play-based, evidence-supported approach designed to help parents deepen their connection with their child and address emotional or behavioral challenges. CPRT focuses on teaching parents therapeutic play techniques to better understand their child’s emotions, foster trust, and promote positive behavior.
This therapy is especially helpful for children dealing with anxiety, behavioral struggles, trauma, or social difficulties. Through guided sessions, parents learn how to respond to their child’s needs in ways that create security, encourage emotional expression, and improve family dynamics.

Frequently Asked Questions About Child-Parent Relationship Therapy Therapy
How does CPRT work in therapy?
CPRT teaches parents how to engage with their child through therapeutic play techniques, including active listening, empathy, and setting healthy boundaries. Through hands-on practice, parents create a nurturing environment where their child feels understood and safe, leading to healthier emotional expression and positive behavior changes.
What types of issues can CPRT help with?
CPRT is effective for children facing anxiety, behavioral challenges, trauma, attachment issues, ADHD, and difficulties at school or in social settings. It also equips parents with tools to manage their own stress and build supportive, effective parenting strategies.

After signing up, I got help with finding the right therapist for me and she was wonderful. Maria was kind and understanding while also being very action based. She took into account my religious beliefs and I couldn’t be happier with the session. I’ve already signed up to meet with her again.

My wife and I were seeking therapy to reconnect and improve our relationship. Although we've only completed the first session of counseling I will say that it was a step in the right direction. Our therapist Sandra took time to get to know each of us and initiated conductive conversation. Looking forward for more. Scheduling has been very easy. I would recommend.

Verified Customer
Just never thought I’d need a therapist but Carla is a rare find. While we don’t speak on a regular basis, when we do, for me, it’s like talking with a friend. It’s always a pleasure to talk to her and by the end of the conversation , I’m seeing things differently.
Ginny ★★★★★
Verified Customer
ReachLink has excellent customer service and makes scheduling so easy and convenient! I’ve had such horrible luck with finding the right therapist for me. I felt like the first therapist they linked me with wasn’t a good fit for me, but they listened to my needs and found me another therapist who has been just an absolute God-send. I just wish I would’ve found this help/ReachLink years ago!
