Social Work

I wanted to thank TDC for helping me pass both of my exams to become an LCSW! The audios and study materials were easy to follow and extremely relevant to what was actually being tested. Most importantly, TDC helped me stay organized and alleviated most of my test anxiety. Thanks again!

The test really prepped me for the exam. The strategies are incredible and so effective. TDC strategies worked amazingly for me, helping me make decisions and strategically choose the correct answers. I passed the first exam. I still can't believe it! This program works! Thank you so much! Now to the second exam!

After one failed attempt, I passed the LCSW Standard Written Exam. I have to admit that when I first acquired the Therapist Development Center study program and saw the material, I was skeptical; I could not believe that that would be all that I needed to pass. I was used to having two books full of mumbo jumbo that is not on the test. I found that with the other study material, I was focusing more on the things that sounded more complicated and that ended up not being on the test. Therapist Development Center's concepts and teachings were SPOT ON.

Initially, I used one of the large study companies. I felt overwhelmed with the material. I had no guidance and my morale was low. Study sessions were about retaining large amounts of information, which, in retrospect, was not necessary for the exam. I struggled with the material for MONTHS. A friend of mine recommended Amanda Rowan. After listening to just the first lecture, I immediately felt more confident. What you get with Amanda Rowan is a personal touch. Often, it feels like she is talking directly to you. Her system feels more like a personal coach.

I just passed the written exam. The test was amazingly similar to the study program. I especially found Amanda's advice of "sometimes the best answer is the least worst answer" extremely helpful. I will definitely be using the Therapist Development Center to study for the clinical vignette exam!

I would not have passed these LCSW exams without this program. Your clinical knowledge and style of teaching how to unpack the vignettes were key to my success. Aside from needing to pass these exams to become licensed, I will keep your study materials to use as an excellent reference source. Thank you!!!

Fifteen years ago, I was working on getting my CA license. I passed the written but was unable to pass the oral exam. I moved to Arizona and passed the AZ license exam, practicing as a clinical therapist for thirteen years. My husband was transferred to CA two years ago. My AZ LCSW didn't count. I took the CA courses I needed to but had a huge hang up regarding the written test. I followed Amanda's program. Her coaching, encouragement, rationales behind the answers, and routines helped me when I took my exam this morning. I passed!!!!

I get pretty nervous for tests, and since I had not taken any exams in years and was not sure of everything that   I needed to master, I definitely wanted extra support studying.  I took a poll of my licensed graduate school friends; every single person recommended TDC. I completed the program and felt like I learned everything I needed, and that the test strategies provided me with the confidence to take and pass the exam on my first try. So glad I did the program to help me get licensed!

Thank you for your support. Your program helped reduce feelings of anxiety related to retaking the test. I felt confident with the tools you provided to cut through the chase. Once again, thank you for creating a frame of attack to help decipher the test as it helped reduce feeling overwhelmed when preparing for the test.

Thank you! The provided study material helped me organize the material in manageable pieces. I have used other study systems, which seemed to give way too much information. I passed my ASWB LCSW exam the first time and scored an 88%!
