PCIT Tracker Introduction

What Our Users Say

Discover how PCIT Tracker is making a difference in therapy practices and families' lives.

I love the ease that PCIT-Tracker gives to keeping up with all the data I take. Not only is the process of the session simplifed with taking observation data on the tracker, but having the ECBI scores and a 5 minute timer all on the same screen saves me a lot of time. The charts that are made from the data are very beneficial to both the clinician and the family.

Our Founders

Madeline DeShazer

Madeline DeShazer, MS

Hi, I'm Madeline! I am a certified PCIT therapist in my sixth year of pursuing a doctoral degree in clinical psychology.

I am passionate about providing evidence-based clinical services to families of children with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges.

As a PCIT therapist myself, I understand the challenges that often arise when preparing paperwork, managing data, and handling administrative tasks related to PCIT.

My partner, a skilled software engineer, and I combined our expertise to create PCIT Tracker —a comprehensive tool designed to simplify processes, reduce prep time, and support families through effective intervention.

My experience includes roles with fortune 100 companies like Delta Air Lines and The Home Depot, as well as contributions to innovative, fast growing startups in the Cybersecurity and AI industries.

I am currently a Staff Software Engineer for an AI startup in the healthcare space, engineering HIPAA compliant software solutions that save clinicians time and improve patient outcomes.

Understanding the need for secure and efficient tools in healthcare, Madeline and I created PCIT Tracker to empower PCIT therapists to make data-driven decisions with ease.

We are always working to improve PCIT Tracker.
Here are the latest updates.

Bugfix
Enhancement
Info
New Feature
Sep 22, 2025v2.8.4

PDI forms have a "Start Coaching" button that allows you to start the coaching process. This will put a breakpoint in the flows to show when you started coaching, but you can still continue to record session data while you coach. The data recorded after the "Coaching Started" breakpoint will not be used to calculate the totals and percentages.

You can now add a label to each PDI flow step. This is useful for tracking notes on what was said or specific details about that part of the session.

Added new PDI graphs to the data page.

You can now track WACB-N and WACB-P scores. Enable this feature in your account settings.

A new "Play Talk" option is now available on CDI forms. Enable this feature in your account settings.

Jul 18, 2025v2.1.2

PCIT-OC DPICS AND CDI AVAILABLE! We know there are many adaptations to PCIT, including PCIT for older children (PCIT-OC). We have added a new checkbox feature that allows you to indicate whether you are utilizing PCIT-OC with a family. This distinction will update DPICS and CDI data collection forms, including the ability to track frequencies of self-descriptions and rate non-verbal praise, and this new version will adjust criteria for CDI Goals to fit guidelines for PCIT-OC. Stay tuned for future updates on PDI forms and criteria for working with families when using PCIT-OC!

Added next and previous session buttons on the session page in the top bar around the session date picker.

Jul 12, 2025v2.0.2

Parenting Under Pressure: The Transformative Impact of PCIT on Caregiver Depression and Anxiety and Child Outcomes

July 11, 2025

A new study from researchers at the University of Miami highlights how time-limited PCIT improves not only child behavior but also caregiver mental health. Caregivers reported significant reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms, with improvements partially explained by increases in parenting skills. These findings support PCIT as an impactful intervention not only for children, but also for their caregivers.

Comparative effectiveness of parent–child interaction therapy based on trauma exposure and attrition.

May 5, 2022

A recent study from a Midwestern children's hospital found that Parent–Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is effective for children with and without trauma histories—even when families do not complete the full course of treatment. Both groups showed significant reductions in behavior problems and increases in parenting confidence over time. These findings support the use of standard PCIT for children with trauma exposure.
