One coached moment can transform a lifetime of connection. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Dr. Alisa Bahl, a clinical psychologist and associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Virginia. Dr. Bahl specializes in child and adolescent psychology and works within UVA Children’s Hospital and UVA Medical Center, focusing on neurodevelopmental and behavioral pediatrics. Recently awarded an $80,000 Jefferson Trust grant, Dr. Bahl is expanding access to Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), an evidence-based approach that helps young children with behavioral challenges while empowering parents as active partners in change. Through her work, she’s training the next generation of therapists and helping families strengthen their bonds through empathy, play, and connection. Join us as we explore how PCIT is transforming the way we understand and support children and their families, through live parent coaching, greater access to care, and a renewed sense of hope in every interaction.   For more information about Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, please visit: https://www.pcit.org To become a PCIT provider, learn more at: https://www.pcit.org/become-a-pcit-provider If you’d like to find a PCIT provider, please visit: https://www.pcit.org/find-a-provider For more information about Dr. Alisa Bahl, please visit: https://childrens.uvahealth.com/findadoctor/Alisa-Bahl-1578814653 For more information about UVA Health Children’s, please visit: https://childrens.uvahealth.com
