🌟 Staff Stories: Why Dejah Chose Creating Brighter Futures

Dejah is a Behavior Technician at Creating Brighter Futures, and her journey into this role was shaped by two things: a passion for psychology and a love for working with children. She had previous experience with kids and a strong interest in mental health, but she wanted to find a role where she could make a personal impact. ABA therapy gave her that — and more.

At Creating Brighter Futures, Dejah works one-on-one with children using play-based ABA therapy. Her sessions are filled with energy, creativity, and patience. Whether she’s helping a child express a need, follow a routine, or build emotional regulation skills, her approach is rooted in connection. She focuses on “pairing” — building strong, trusting relationships with each child — because she knows real growth begins with feeling safe and supported.

One of her favorite things is watching a child accomplish something they’ve been working hard on — and seeing the pride in their eyes when they do. Those moments, she says, remind her why this work is so important.

Dejah also speaks highly of the team culture. She feels supported by her coworkers and the clinical supervisors who offer hands-on guidance and encouragement every step of the way. The environment is positive, welcoming, and filled with people who care deeply — not just about the kids, but about each other.

“This isn’t just a job. It’s something you feel good about at the end of every day.”

Dejah’s story is a reminder that when you join Creating Brighter Futures, you’re stepping into a place where passion meets purpose — and where the work you do helps shape brighter days, one child at a time.
