Parent Management Training (PMT) is a proven therapeutic approach designed to equip parents with effective skills and strategies to manage their children's behavior more efficiently. At Aspire Psychotherapy, we offer PMT both virtually and in-person as part of our comprehensive services, recognizing the critical role parents play in shaping their children's development. Through PMT, parents learn techniques such as positive reinforcement, setting clear expectations, and implementing consistent consequences to promote positive behaviors and reduce problematic ones.
