Therapist in private practice specializing in PCIT and early childhood mental health. I provide PCIT in the home, in my office and/or via telehealth.
Life is full of transitions and challenges; one of the biggest is parenting. Whether it’s navigating a newborn, the tempestuous toddler years, potty training, or starting school, having someone to help you and your child succeed with minimum stress and decreased behavioral concerns is my specialty. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and mental health affects the family as a whole and I’m sensitive to that. Parenting is hard enough. You don’t have to do it alone. Let me partner with you, your child, and your family on this bumpy road called life.

The annual PC-CARE summit is for PC-CARE Trainees, Providers, Trainers, and Researchers who are working to improve services. The 1st Annual PC-CARE Summit was hosted by the UC Davis PCIT & PC-CARE Training Center on March 9th 2021.
This annual event is an opportunity for PC-CARE providers and trainers to get together, learn what’s new in the world of PC-CARE and parenting EBTs, and discuss ideas for improving services and training. We have keynote speakers, break out rooms, group discussions, and fun activities.
The Morning session is geared towards PC-CARE providers (and those interested in becoming providers) with an emphasis on identifying strategies for improving PC-CARE through developing new appendices, materials, and research, through enhancing the cultural acceptability and appropriateness of PC-CARE. The Afternoon session is geared towards PC-CARE trainers (and those interested in becoming trainers) with an emphasis on how to improved provider training.
If you missed the 1st Annual PC-CARE Summit, you can review a free recording at the link below. We hope to see you at the 2nd Annual PC-CARE summit on May 24, 2022!

Reminder: Completing the PCIT Webcourse does not certify anyone to provide PCIT services! Completing the webcourse is only the first step before starting the full PCIT training with a certified trainer.
Account Creation Troubleshooting: If you do not receive the account confirmation email for the webcourse, you can try creating a new account with a non-Gmail address, or email Lindsay and Aubrey to manually confirm your account. Lindsay: laforte@ucdavis.edu Aubrey: aubjohnson@aubreyjohnson
The “resume” feature is not active on this webcourse and the webcourse does not track your progress. If completing the course on different days, be sure to make note of the last slide you were on. You can manually navigate to the last slide you were on.
Step 1. Make sure that you have completed both post-test evaluations: The Participant Evaluation, and the Web Course Evaluation. The most common reason that a webcourse certificate is not yet accessible is that both post-test evaluations have not yet been completed.
The webcourse certificate will not be available until both evals have been completed with at least 80%.
Step 2. Navigate to the main menu of the PCIT webcourse where you can view the modules of the webcourse and click the words “Course Certificate” at the bottom of the page.
If the above steps do not work, proceed to Step 3.

Video – The State of Babies Yearbook: 2020 digs into data disaggregated by race, income, and geographic settings to outline disparities where states need to improve support for our nation’s babies and families. Join as ZERO TO THREE Chief Policy Officer, Myra Jones-Taylor, and CEO of Robin Hood, Wes Moore, discuss the 2020 data and how we can work together to address racism underlying many of these challenges and help babies achieve their full potential.
Video – Conversation between Dr. Ibram X. Kendi and Dr. Allison Briscoe-Smith, examining the complexities of racism and systemic injustice and having these difficult conversations with children, while empowering them to change society as they grow. Moderated by Julie Lythcott-Haims, the author behind the critically-acclaimed and award-winning memoir Real American, a book about growing up Black and biracial in white spaces. Dr. Kendi is a New York Times best-selling author, an acclaimed academic and a leading voice on racial justice in America. His newest work is a children’s book titled Antiracist Baby which introduces complicated topics like power, racial disparity and antiracism for readers of all ages. Dr. Briscoe-Smith is a child psychologist and the director of diversity, equity and inclusion with the Wright Institute Clinical Program. Together, these experts explain how we can help future generations understand the true meaning of equality and also give them the tools necessary to fight for it.
It is common for caregiving adults to wonder and worry about how they should talk to children about racism and racial trauma. In fact, research suggests that too few caregivers talk to children about race. However, research on racial identity development and anti-racism education offers useful guidance for having these conversations effectively.
By Meghan Holohan – For many parents, talking to their children about the nationwide protests following the death of George Floyd may seem daunting. Racism, police brutality and civil disobedience are big topics that some parents might feel afraid to broach. Yet experts say it is essential to address them.
By Rebecca Parlakian – Available in English and En español – This resource provides thoughts and guidelines for talking about the complex issues of racism and equality in age-appropriate ways with children aged two to five years of age.
This PDF is one of many wonderful resources by and for Black people, shared by Sacramento-based Safe Black Space on their Resources page (available here).
The Government Alliance on Race & Equity has a number of great resources for teams at workplaces and schools to utilize in the working towards racial equity, including a Communication Toolkit.
From Racial Equity Tools – A thorough source of data, research, resources and practices
From the Center for the Study of Social Policy – The Alliance boldly identifies policies and practices (both intended and unintended) that harm children and families of color and promote anti-racist intersectional policies that will result in better outcomes for children and families of color.
From the Annie E. Casey Foundation – The case study, Considering Culture, is rooted in two findings: 1) that the traditions, social practices and pervading mentalities of communities of color are very different than in predominantly white communities; and 2) that children of color face tougher odds and experience fewer gains than their white counterparts at every step — from birth to adulthood.
Despite these well-documented differences, there are very few evidence-based programs intentionally geared toward communities of color, according to Considering Culture, which is the fourth installment in a five-part Race for Results case study series.
From the Annie E. Casey Foundation – Advancing race equity and inclusion can sometimes seem daunting and often leaves many wondering how and where to start. One way to achieve social change in an organization is to incorporate race equity and inclusion at every stage of work. The seven steps in this guide provide a clear framework for undertaking this important work. This tool adds to the resources already created by partners who have been working in the field. It works by demonstrating how a race equity lens can be adopted by foundations or other organizations that work directly with systems, technical assistance providers and communities.
From The Education Trust – High-quality early childhood education (ECE) is important to the rapid development that happens in the first five years of a child’s life and has long-lasting benefits well into adulthood. But many children, largely Black and Latino, are not given access to nor are being served by high-quality, state-funded ECE programs, according to our first-of-its-kind analysis. In Young Learners, Missed Opportunities: Ensuring That Black and Latino Children Have Access to High-Quality State-Funded Preschool, researchers sought to answer two questions: 1. Do Black and Latino students get access to these programs? 2. And are these programs high-quality?
In this KIDS COUNT policy report, the Foundation explores the intersection of kids, race and opportunity. The report features the new Race for Results Index, which compares how children are progressing on key milestones across racial and ethnic groups at the national and state levels. The index is based on 12 indicators that measure a child’s success in each stage of life, from birth to adulthood. The indicators were chosen based on the goal that all children should grow up in economically successful families, live in supportive communities and meet developmental, health and educational milestones. The report also makes four policy recommendations to help ensure that all children and their families realize their full potential.
The Center for American Progress recommends the following:
• Prioritize funding for school-based counseling and mental health programs.
• Develop culturally responsive policies for emotional and behavioral supports.
• Implement a restorative—not punitive—approach to school discipline.
From the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity & The Center for the Study of Social Policy – This curriculum combines a series of online, digital modules with an in-person training tailored to the needs of specific child protection agencies. The digital modules are designed to provide an introduction to implicit racial bias; the tailored in-person training is designed by expert facilitators based on the needs of individual jurisdictions.

We believe in the power of PCIT to enhance parent-child relationships, and we want this parenting intervention and materials to be accessible to as many kiddos as possible! That’s why we are always looking for ways to make PCIT materials accessible for diverse populations and languages.
The PCIT Treatment Manual is currently available in full in English and Spanish. The Spanish manual is currently undergoing big updates. Some PCIT handouts are also available in additional languages as we reach out to our diverse community of PCIT Providers to assist in translation to reach as many populations as we can. The Spanish PCIT Coalition works tirelessly to translate forms and content and is dedicated to making sure our Spanish content reaches a wide base.
We are working to have all of these manuals and handouts available on this page. Please contact AubJohnson@ucdavis.edu to request addition of further materials.

¿Hablas español? Calling all Spanish speakers! Dr. Jose Cholula from the PCIT Spanish Coalition has created a monthly SurveyMonkey to collect different ways of translating Spanish words, and he needs your help! If you are a Spanish speaker, please participate in this 2-3 minute survey, and share with anyone who could participate as well. Your involvement in this project is greatly appreciated! The SurveyMonkey is for the creation of a glossary; it provides 3 words used in PCIT and asks for other ways of saying them in Spanish. Each monthly survey has 3 words for translation.
You do NOT need to be a PCIT provider to participate in the survey!
Here is a sample question from November’s survey:
[In the Ways to Praise form, we have “Ways to Praise” translated into “Formas de Alabanza,” What are other equivalent Spanish words or idioms, and from what country or region is expressed?]
Thank you for your help! ¡Gracias!
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and have been providing clinical services since 2006. After obtaining my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UCLA, I went on to obtain my doctorate degree from the California School for Professional Psychology, an APA-accredited
program in Los Angeles. During my pre-doctoral training at CSPP, my clinical experiences included working with children, adolescents, young adults, parents, families and couples in a variety of settings including Hospitals, Community Mental Health Centers,
Schools and Federal programs. I graduated in 2012 with a PsyD in Clinical Psychology; it was during my post-doctoral training that I obtained specialized experience working with children and families. I became certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, an evidence-based family intervention for children with behavioral difficulties. I gained valuable experience providing individual therapy to people with Anxiety and Mood Disorders utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills, and I facilitated social skills groups for children ages 3-12. For the past three years I have returned to my alma mater, CSPP, as the Practicum Training Director and recently as the Director of Clinical Training for the Clinical PsyD and PhD programs. Over the course of my graduate years, I have had the honor of training at Children’s Hospital, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Job Corps, Southern California Counseling Center, The Village Family Services, and Rich & Associates. In 2019, my family moved from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara to realize our dream of living in this gorgeous town. I am thrilled to be here and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
Helping individuals to master the game of life!

To work towards our mission, we meet the second Monday of every month at 10AM PST to discuss emerging topics in PCIT, offer case consultation, provide trainings, and discuss updates on the Coalition. These meetings are conducted in Spanish with some English spoken as needed to facilitate interpretation. The Coalition also works closely with UC Davis to adapt PCIT materials to Spanish.

The PCIT Glossary Project is an effort to put together a list of PCIT-related terminology with various Spanish translations. Anyone who speaks Spanish can participate in the project by taking short, monthly surveys indicating your preferred Spanish translations for PCIT-related terminology based on your region or the region of the families you serve. Participants do not need to be trained in PCIT to submit responses.

In 2016, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) funded the UC Davis CAARE Center to provide mental health services to all 1-5 year old children who enter the foster resource care system in Sacramento County within 90 days of their placement.
Under this grant, we partnered with Sacramento County Child Protective Services (CPS) and developed a protocol to utilize our parent-child intervention, PC-CARE, with resource caregivers.* Our goals were placement stability, child behavioral improvement, and stress reduction for children and caregivers, while providing trauma-informed services to resource children and their caregivers.
SAMHSA Grant Funded PC-CARE
Eligibility
Since the inception of this grant, nearly two-hundred newly placed resource children have been connected to PC-CARE services, with over 100 children having completed or are currently completing PC-CARE with their resource caregivers.
Client retention at 74%: Excluding children still in treatment, reunified children, and children changing placements, the retention rate for all resource parents agreeing to participate in treatment was 73.7%.
Drop in trauma symptoms: Analyses showed a statistically significant drop (F(1,62)=7.01, p=.01) in the severity of trauma symptoms during the reporting period from an average of 3.81 to an average of 3.05 symptoms.
Drop in child behavior problems: The figure below shows the session-by-session means for the children included in an analysis of the significance of change. Results showed a significant decrease in the intensity of behavior problems from Pre-treatment to Session 6 (F(5, 17)=5.64, η2= .21, observed power= .62).

I received my Masters in Social Work (MSW) and Pupil Personnel Services Credential (PPSC) from California State University of Long Beach. I received my Bachelors in Art from University of California Santa Barbara. I have worked at Child Abuse Listening Mediation (CALM) in Santa Barbara serving children and families. Prior to CALM, I worked for Casa Pacifica, specifically the Safe Alternatives for Treating Youth (SAFTY) program providing support to children and young adults who were experiencing thoughts of suicide, homicide, and self-harm. I have worked as a school social worker in Elementary, Junior Highs, and High Schools in California working closely with students, teachers, parents, and school administrators. The hope and goal I have for my clients is to assist them in enhancing personal and familial relationships. As a social worker, I have had the wonderful opportunity to witness many positive changes in the lives of my clients. These positive changes include how my clients have relationships with others and how they come to view themselves. These components are an integral part of the therapeutic process and journey. My clients include children, adolescents, adults, and families. I seek to provide therapy that comes from a place of warmth, compassion, and sensitivity. I believe therapy should be a place where clients can receive a judgement and bias free environment. I serve individuals and families that are struggling and want to improve their lives, relationships, and/or situations.

PC-CARE Trainee Portal
• If you have already registered for Phase I, Enter Here (requires password)
• If you have completed Phase I and registered for Phase II, Enter Here (requires password)
To become certified in PC-CARE, a provider must attend both Phase I and Phase II of PC-CARE training in full; complete at least 1 PC-CARE client under the supervision of certified PC-CARE trainers; and demonstrate all PC-CARE competencies under the supervision of their training team.
Phase I of PC-CARE Training is an online, skill-building workshop facilitated by our team of UC Davis PC-CARE administrators and certified PC-CARE trainers. Anyone who is interested in PC-CARE is welcome to attend this workshop. Completion of this training does not certify a provider to provide PC-CARE. This introductory training consists of 1 to 2 Zoom sessions for a total of 6 hours. This phase of training is eligible for 6 CE credits if all 6 hours are attended in full. Phase I training is offered many times throughout the year. Scroll down for dates.
Phase II of PC-CARE Trainings are done in two parts: Preparatory and Applied training. During Preparatory Training, you will meet approximately 7 times over Zoom in a group format, with a cohort of fellow trainees and UC Davis-certified PC-CARE trainers. During Applied Training, you will provide PC-CARE to a suitable client with the help and guidance of a UC Davis-certified PC-CARE Trainer. Phase II of training takes several months to a year, depending on your access to eligible clients. This phase of training is not eligible for CE credits. Phase II Preparatory Trainings are offered several times throughout the year. After signing up for Preparatory training, you will receive information from our training team about your assigned cohort within 1-2 months. Cohorts are currently booked out months to a year in advance, though spaces can open up in upcoming cohorts, shortening the wait-time, if your schedule is flexible enough to allow it.
If you have a question that is not answered on this page, please email PC-CAREAdminTeam@groups.ucdavis.edu
Thanks to an NCTSN and SAMHSA-funded training grant, we are able to offer free PC-CARE training to some U.S.-based providers for the next 5 years (from 2022).
We are developing the online PC-CARE Learning Center, which will include training resources and web courses for PC-CARE providers, trainers, caregivers, and paraprofessionals learning a variation of PC-CARE called PC-CARE Toolbox.
For training dates, please scroll further down the page. After completing the application, you will hear back from our team ASAP in 6-8 weeks.
All trainings are completed virtually on Zoom. All trainings are three hours long on two different days for a total of 6 hours over 2 days. Both days must be attended in full to complete Phase 1 of training.
The PC-CARE Phase I Skill Building is a live, interactive workshop that is 6 hours long and eligible for 6 CE credits for those who attend the entire workshop.
The UC Davis CAARE Center is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The UC Davis CAARE Center maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
Administrative, support, and paraprofessional staff might be interested in attending Phase 1 only. They will not be certified in PC-CARE, but will have the foundational knowledge of PC-CARE required to support families in practicing skills at home, or support other PC-CARE providers and program development in their agency.
• $500/person for Phase 1 training. Register here by copy+pasting this link:

Phase 1 and 2 must both be completed for PC-CARE certification. Phase 2 occurs on a rolling basis each month. Trainees can sign up for any month to begin weekly calls after attending Phase 1. Due to high volume of trainees, it may take 1-2 months to be assigned to a Phase II cohort after enrollment.
Worth 6 CE Credits. The UC Davis CAARE Center is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. The UC Davis CAARE Center maintains responsibility for this program and its content.
Does your agency have a PC-CARE In-House Trainer? We can support them while they train within your agency! Sign up for this option to have your trainees join a UC Davis cohort for the weekly calls portion of Phase 2 training. They’ll have access to UC Davis training materials including the full digital PC-CARE manual, sample case client videos, coding and coaching worksheets, and coding practice videos. We will work them for 7 weeks of Phase 2, then your In-House trainer does the rest!

Parent-Child Care (PC-CARE) is a 6 session dyadic treatment program for families that are interested in improving caregiver-child relationships and are willing to learn new child behavior management strategies. It serves families with children ages 1 to 10 years. A wide range of caregivers can participate, including biological parents, foster and kin caregivers, and adoptive caregivers. PC-CARE can be provided by mental health clinicians as a mental health intervention, and paraprofessionals as a prevention service.
Each week the caregiver and child attend a 1 hour session for a total of 7 weeks (including 1 pre-treatment assessment and behavior observation and 6 weeks of dyadic and coaching sessions). During each hour long session the provider checks in with the family, uses a brief child behavior screener to address behaviors in the past week, does a 10 minute didactic of new skills, and then coaches the caregiver for 30 minutes live in the moment to use the new skills during play with the child. At the end of the session the provider assigns “Daily CARE” to the caregiver to use the skills during play with the child for 5 minutes every day.
PC-CARE is for any caregiver that is motivated to improve their relationship with their child and to learn new caregiving skills. Caregivers should have custody of the child, or have at least regular contact (e.g., foster, adoptive, relative, reunited parent that has at least supervised visits). Caregivers need to be willing to spend five minutes in play with their child on a daily basis. This program is for children between the ages of 1 and 10 years who may have experienced a traumatic event, may be adjusting to a new home, or may be disruptive and defiant. PC-CARE has been adapted into a variety of protocols for a wide range of populations and needs: Spanish-speaking families, toddlers, older children, children with sexual behavior problems, children with ASD and IDD, and children with feeding problems.

Marisela Van Sickle provides therapy for children and families, specializing in PCIT and using a family systems approach.
I am a child and family therapist. I guide families through meaningful change; parents move from concerned and frustrated to optimistic and empowered, and children from lost and alone to secure and loved. When children are struggling, unable to label their feelings or obstacles, it is hard to identify helpful responses. We’ll collaborate, support, nurture and clarify the adjustments your family needs to flourish. You’re not alone. We will identify the reasons underlying your family’s distress, alleviate the tense interactions and improve functioning, both as individuals and as a family. Together, you will feel closer and happier; shared time will be quality time.
I use PCIT, an effective evidence based treatment, and other interventions, to support families coping with trauma, adoption, school problems, issues secondary to learning-disabilities, spectrum issues, ADHD, divorce/co-parenting, grief/loss, pediatric illness, and single parenting. Transitions, even the positive ones, can be times of upheaval. I would be privileged to help.
I am a certified PCIT Therapist with 16 years of agency work. Family In Sync was started to bring the magic of PCIT into the world of private practice.
