Seeing Cognitive Function Development Therapy (CFDT) in action can provide a tangible understanding of the measurable improvements that clients can experience.

These improvements are quantifiable through objective assessments of primary cognitive functions, and clients often report an improved quality of life, increased ability to manage stress, and better performance in academic or professional settings.
Therapist Testimonials
“For me, being a CFDT has helped me understand and appreciate where people are coming from and the why’s of behavioral challenges. The big thing that has changed in my life as a CFDT is that I have a lot more patience with not only clients, but as a dad. Being a CFDT can be immensely rewarding when you begin to see the shift in a client’s behavior and attitude and knowing that that change could change the entire trajectory of their life.”
Stephen D
“I’ve worked with many children who have experienced trauma during my 10 years as a social worker, and it was heart-breaking work to say the least. I’m so thankful to have this opportunity, as a Cognitive Function Development Therapist, to help similar children experience healing at a more foundational level … I’m seeing examples of children transforming before my eyes into happier and more regulated individuals.”
C.J.
“I love being a CFD Therapist! I’m able to help someone lessen the effects of their trauma without having to re-experience it! Being able to see a client transition from responding to a situation with fear and anxiety to responding with excitement and joy is so fulfilling. It has been so rewarding to do fun and intense activities with a bigger purpose and see life-changing results. We are changing people’s trajectories, how cool is that?”
