Client Testimonials

This training has been life changing. Now I live and breathe TF-CBT because it is the best model for the children I serve.  It has been life changing for me, for my profession, and for the kids who I work with – it is the best thing ever.

I am very pleased to be a MoACTS rostered TF-CBT therapist.  I wholeheartedly thank you, for the quality training and mentoring that was provided.  The TF-CBT Learning Collaborative enhanced my professional therapy services to my clients, and it has been invaluable to me professionally.  I am a strong advocate for TF-CBT, and I have shared the information with everyone that I work with.

I feel empowered by this course. It makes me nervous to think of the worst-case scenarios, but, through this training, I have a better outlook on what response I’ll have if it happens.
Early Childhood Educator
The best element of the training was the fact that the facilitators are therapists and apply this method. They both had a lot of real-world experiences that made the information feel applicable and worthwhile.

The training presents information on the model but also provides important real-world context about the differences we might see in applying this to our work with children and their caregivers.

Amazing training- best practical training I’ve done in the last five years. I like how Matt and Evette complement each other by working with different groups of kids. The examples were helpful because it made me recognize that I can do this and how to do this across ages.

Highly knowledgeable facilitators, well-organized, well-prepared, respectful, fun, engaging, great examples of TF-CBT, great resources, answered questions, best online training I have ever taken. It almost seemed as if the training was held in person. Great work!

Lots of great examples, lots of positive encouragement, gentle and caring presenters. Lots of great information. Everything was well organized; the presenters were very approachable and seemed very knowledgeable. They all had a very calm demeanor and were very good about answering all the questions. I liked the parking lot for questions, made it feel comfortable to ask questions.
