I highly recommend TDC for both the ethics and clinical LMFT exams. The study materials are thorough and complete, and I felt confident as I sat for both examinations. I found it particularly helpful to anticipate, understand, and work with test anxiety, as well as how to manage time during the test. Coach Deanna was very patient and insightful with her answers. I felt very supported by her. If you do exactly as is suggested, and devote enough time to your study, this program will get you across the finish line! read more

I used TDC to study for the National MFT Exam. I have been licensed in California for over 10 years but the national exam felt VERY different than the California exams that I took in 2014. I'm certain I passed because TDC offered excellent study material and tips. Thank you TDC!!! read more

I loved this program. I passed the first time and found it very easy to use. I would recommend to anyone taking their exams.

I am so grateful to TDC for the extensive preparation for the CA LMFT Clinical Exam. The materials were thorough and the audio rationales were extremely helpful. I can still hear Amanda's voice! Learning how to think and reason in preparation for the exam boosted my confidence. I definitely felt prepared and passed the first time! read more

I highly recommend TDC Therapist Development Center for test preparation. It's true, TDC staff stays with you until you pass, as was the case with me and my not passing the exam in the beginning and the extreme anxiety and feelings about test taking, in general, that I was confronted with. But, TDC "had my back," through it all, ya'll. It's alot of information (the information will also prepare and support you in this work long after you pass the exam) yet the program is structured like none other. So, go ahead, take advantage of TDC. I did, and I am forever grateful to the entire founder and staff, the best support and empathy given. And you will pass! Amirah Patricia Salaam, M.A, LMFT (yessss)! read more

TDC helped me pass both the LMFT Law and Ethics and Clinical exams on my first try! I struggle with test anxiety, and this program not only helped me manage that but also improved my time management skills. The content is incredibly comprehensive--especially for the clinical exam--and I felt truly prepared walking in. The mock exams are extremely challenging, but that's what makes them so effective. They prepare you for the kind of thinking you'll need on the actual exam. I was improving with each mock until I hit the first final mock exam, where I scored lower than ever before. I had a total meltdown and reached out to TDC for help. Deanna personally called me and talked me off the ledge (lol). She reassured me that my score was still a good indicator of exam readiness and gave me clear guidance on what to review. After taking her advice, I took the second final mock and my score improved drastically. The real exam is tough--you'll likely feel like you're failing the whole time, or at least very unsure. But just like Amanda says, TDC trains you to be comfortable with uncertainty, and to trust the process. They also equip you with key strategies and phrases to look for, which really makes a difference. TDC also offers generous accommodations if you need extensions, which I really appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend TDC--it helped me get across the finish line, and I'm so grateful! read more

I passed the Clinical LMFT exam on my first try using only the TDC study materials. The content is highly efficient and organized in a manner that maximizes study time. Highly recommend. read more

I cannot thank TDC enough for the care and thoughtfulness they put into this study program. Every step of the way, I felt as though Amanda, Robin, and Asya had my best interests at heart and were truly invested in my success. The breadth of knowledge and conversational nature of the recordings made it feel as though I was having a facilitated and focused discussion rather than sitting in a lecture. I appreciated the varied presentation of information---incorporating visual (reading), aural (recorded lectures) and experiential (mock exams) inputs really helped solidify my learning and review. One of the most valuable (imho) features of TDC's offerings is the availability of a very capable and knowledgeable exam coach throughout the preparation process. Asya was extremely responsive to my coaching questions, as well as validating and encouraging, which meant so much to me going into the exam. On exam day, Amanda's advice "you're going to feel like you're failing!" was resonating in my head and it proved invaluable, because I DID, and it made all the difference to expect it! It is clear why this study program is considered a "gold standard" among my peers - 3 of 3 of my colleagues who earned licensure in the last year prepared with TDC. I am thrilled to add my name to the list (4 out of 4!) and have already recommended this course to others. THANK YOU! read more

The Therapist Development Center - Passed!! With support from TDC and "Studysaurus" ;) - Test Preparation Near Me

Thank you, TDC! The test preparation for the LMFT clinical exam was helpful in offering both comprehensive review material and reasoning strategies that clarify the expectations of the exam. I passed the first time! read more

TDC study materials are EXCEPTIONAL! I passed my LMFT clinical exam first try thanks to their extensive and cohesive program. I felt prepared and confident because of TDC, especially the test pep talk. Additionally I feel like their materials made me a better clinician and I found myself utilizing theoretical material relearned with clients. I'm so grateful and cannot recommend enough. read more

TDC was my primary resource to prep for the CA LMFT licensing exam. I highly recommend the 3-month schedule, where you go through the material a second time, as there is so much to digest during the first review. Though I didn't pass the exam on my first go, when I reviewed the materials a second time, I was reminded of what to keep in mind, which helped significantly, especially with test-taking strategies. 50% of the preparation is really about test-taking strategies, while the other half is about recall. If you're good with learning from audio lectures with PDF hand-outs, this is the way to go. TDC offers plenty of mock exams to help you exercise your mind and body and prep for the actual exam! read more

I passed my MFT clinical exam first try due to the TDC. I also passed my law and ethics when I used TDC. Highly, highly recommend.

They kept their promise. Grateful for their support! Take breaks during exams--they help!

The prep program is helpful. They keep the content and mock exam up to date and more challenging. That helps me to feel more prepared and easier in the real exam. The study materials are helpful and efficient as well. I only reviewed one time but passed the exam the first time as well. read more

Amanda's system freaking works! Not in my wildest dream did I ever think I could pass a state exam ! It was challenging but not impossible to beat! Amanda uses science and techniques to help you answer the toughest questions! If you study the mock exams closely you will know how to answer the questions! That was the key! I learned what mistakes I made and what not to do during the exam! God truly gave Amanda a gift of teaching! Thank you so much! I feel relieved ! Now I could celebrate my accomplishments read more

The Therapist Development Center - I passed! I'm am now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist! - Test Preparation Near Me

Thank you greatly to TDC for their comprehensive program that helped me pass my clinical exam on my first try. The program was recommended by two colleagues that also passed on their first attempt. The material, audios, practice quizzes and mock exams helped me build confidence and test taking strategies as well as access to a coach helped in managing my anxiety the day of the exam. I can't recommend the program enough! read more

Very comprehensive program! I passed my MFT exam on the first try. I liked that they offered different modalities for their materials to really sink in and clearly it worked! I would highly recommend. read more

TDC is so great! They really prepare you for the CA Clinical Exam! I would not have passed without them. Their questions are much harder than the exam and they teach you how to read the questions and cut down time spent trying to answer them. They are super responsive when you email to ask question or need support! I highly recommend using them to pass your CA Clinical or Ethics Exam and your National Exam. Good luck to all! TDC is the way to go :) read more

I used this company and study program to prepare for my LCSW exam! I cannot say enough about how well prepared I felt going into the exam. The plan is well laid out, the audio pieces were easy to listen to and so helpful for having a solid understanding of ruling out wrong answers. Thank you, thank you TDC! read more

TDC's Exam prep led me to pass my MFT exam. This course is incredibly thorough, and it prepares you with material and information you will need. But more importantly, it trains you to think in the way the exam demands and it teaches you how to deal with the uncertainty and stress that comes with this test. STICK WITH IT, there were moments when this felt so demanding and impossible, but that's the point...to replicate the unbalanced feeling experienced during the exam. Stunned and grateful. read more

I absolutely love this program! I used it for the law and ethics and I also used it for the clinical exam on. We had a good exam on my first try period I love this exam for so many reasons but. Chile, the mock and practiced exams really are very similar to the actual test and in a lot of ways it's even more difficult than the chest, and they almost overprepare you. So you know that when you go into the test you are Very prepared! I would definitely recommend this program read more

Even after moving 3 times in the 7 weeks of studying, I still passed! Such an organized method that is intuitive and works! I used it for both L&E and the Clinical MFT exam and passed both on my first attempt. read more

With the help of The Therapist Development Center (TDC), I passed the California LMFT clinical exam on my first try!!! I highly recommend TDC to anyone preparing for their exam. read more

I passed my LCSW on the first try because of the TDC study material and the amazing guidance that was given throughout the program. The instructors did a fantastic job with breaking down topic, questions and the answers to where it made complete sense. I absolutely recommend the TDC, I could not have done it without them. Im not a great test taker but I felt completely prepared for my exam and was very confident throughout. read more

I took TDC course prep for MFT clinical exam and I passed it at the first try. I'm very grateful that this course truly prepared me. Some of the test questions were very similar to what I had practiced. I studied for a good 2.5 months. I printed everything out and reviewed them. This course was recommended to me by a few colleagues who had also passed on their first try. read more

Passed the LCSW on the 1st try thanks to the help of TDC! (some of those questions really were ridiculous....and I found a grammatical error on one too). read more

Amazing program! I've learned so much with the detail lessons on all topics of the Law and Ethics Exam! I passed on my first attempt.

After not improving on practice exams using other preparatory programs, I turned to the Therapeutic Development Center with only two weeks before my exam. I studied and slept, going through the program thoroughly twice before the exam. It was a rigid experience, but my practice exam scores dramatically improved. I ended up passing the exam on my first attempt. I am so grateful for this program. Highly recommend! read more

I utilized this service for my LCSW test. When taking the test, the practice questions were not similar to the test questions. The audio was poor and not clear. The program would be better if PowerPoint and different modalities were utilized to provide more support for those using it. However, their CEU courses are helpful and effective. I unfortunately will not be using TDC to restudy for my test due to noticing these faults. read more

Excellent program!! IF you follow the outline for the Ca. LMFT exam and dedicate the time needed as if you're taking an online class, you should be able to pass with flying colors. Amanda does a brilliant job on the lectures. She's never boring and going off on topic or just over kill on the explanations. She provides the necessary info needed and even used great examples you can grasp the ideas. The mock exams helped me a lot by going over the rationale. Even the ones you got right, still listen. You can speed up the lecture if you want to save time. But that's a great learning tool on how to prepare for the 4 hour test. Thank you TDC! You were my rock! read more

I used TDC to prep for my MFT and PCC Law and Ethics exams, and the LMFT clinical exam. I passed all exams on the first try! I allowed myself plenty of time to study for each exam and followed the TDC program step by step! Follow the instructions use your style to study (I took hand written notes during audio rationals and made flash cards) believe in yourself and you will pass! I was recommended TDC by many of my colleagues and I recommend it as well! I used TDC only to prep and pass all of my exams! Good luck! read more

A huge thank you to TDC for helping me pass my CA LMFT licensing exam! The audio lectures and mock exams were exceptional, and every piece of study material provided played a key role in my success. I truly couldn't have done it without this comprehensive and well-structured program! read more

I'm not a great test taker. So I was very anxious through the whole process. Not to mention I decided to take the test while recovering from major surgery so my usual routine of stress relief (boxing) was out of commission. Very grateful to the staff at TDC for being so thorough with their explanations and how to think rather than just memorize. I believe my passing came down to the basic structures of "create the frame, identify the unit, answer the actual question" Highly recommend TDC for anyone thinking of test prep. They were awesome. I'm so relieved to have this part of the journey over and it was because, in no small part, to the excellent standard of education TDC provides. Thanks TDC! read more

Amazing resource! I took the test 3 times and failed. My amazing partner found this source for me so we bought it, and I passed!!! It helped me increase my score by 10 points. It helped me understand the difficult wording and break things down. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone! Thank you TDC! :) read more

Amanda rocks! Studied for 4 months with TDC and passed my first try! TDC is very helpful thorough and supportive

TDC is amazing! It helped me so much in passing my LCSW exam! The way it is broken down was very easy to follow. I also learned so much that I can use in the practice I work at. It was well worth the money. You will not be sorry. When I walked into the test I felt more confident and felt prepared. Thank you TDC! You all are great !! read more

Excellent format. Great preparation by having practice exams, mock tests, and rationales. Wonderful to be able to ask a Coach for more challenging topics/questions. read more

I took this for Both the MFT Clinical Exam, and for the MFT Law and Ethics exam. Honestly I cannot believe I passed them both on the first time. However, I know that this is due to the TDC study guides and exam preps. Their test are harder than the actual tests, and prepare you well for the examinations. I seriously wouldn't recommend any other exam prep. read more
