MFT

I don't even know how to put into words how helpful this program was for me! I started off with a different company's study system and felt overwhelmed and lost. I constantly failed their practice exams without any real explanation and started to doubt myself. When I found Therapist Development Center, I felt confident again and really started to understand exactly what the test was looking for. The information TDC provides is concise, straightforward and is all you need to guide you through the CV Exam.

Since I have not taken the other study courses, I have no way of knowing how good TDC's program really is.  But after passing the first exam, I trusted her with the second one.  Someone gave me the Grossman book for the vignette exam.  It's an inch thick.  I didn't even look at it.  It was helpful to hear Amanda talk about why her program is different front the others.  Learning how to develop the frame to know what the question is asking was very helpful.  The study sheets and quizzes were also great.  Once again, not too much information.

I prepared for the CVE this time last year using AATBS. I had used their system to study for the written exam and passed it the first try. When using AATBS for CVE prep, honestly, I was confused the whole time. The answers seemed contradictory. I wanted to pass it this time, so about six months ago, I got the Grossman materials, and they were less helpful than AATBS. While doing the time-honored Google search, I found the Therapist Development Center. Helpful staff, materials clear and concise, well-organized and worked for the way my brain learns/re-learns info.

Thank you for the excellent training and prep for both the written and the MFT CVE. I passed the written exam the first time I took it.  The strategies were excellent and I believe the personal coaching is what really propelled my success.  When I took the CVE approximately 6 weeks later, I failed the exam.  However, I was slightly ill on exam day, did not use the frames (much) and forgot my anxiety management strategy of closing my eyes or looking away from the screen every 10 questions.   I just passed the CVE exam on 4/22/14.

Thank you, TDC!  Your common sense approach helped me with the CVE exam....I only wished I found you sooner as it would have made the SWE a lot less stressful for me. Amanda's calm, sensible voice guided me throughout the exam - making it easier to see things clearly and with more confidence.  I also liked your program's feature offering access to coaches who quickly addressed any questions I had along the way....I would definitely recommend TDC!

I have used two other study programs and found Therapist Development Center the best one to help me pass the Clinical Vignette Exam.  It helped me simplify my thought process and helped clear up some ambiguities that I was struggling with.  It is very straight forward and covers the basic strategies necessary to passing the exam.

I passed my MFT Vignette exam! For me the key was "bringing Amanda into the room" with me and the frames.  Thank you so very much!!!  The mock exams and their review were also KEY!

It only took me less than one week to review the material and passed the test. The written material, the framing technique and the rationale on the practice vignettes are so helpful. The material was not overwhelming. It was excellent. The technique you teach helped me tremendously.  The more I read and practiced, the more it made sense. I did other trainings before and I failed twice. I spent months reading the material and memorizing all the acronyms and I failed miserably.

I loved your program.  I found it easy to follow, self explanatory and logical.  I tried AATBS first and just found it overwhelming and excessive.  I like your simple approach with clear and concise direction and methodology.  I passed both exams using your method and highly recommend it to all my intern friends.  Plus your staff is so kind, supportive and accessible even on weekends and I really appreciate that (since it always seems something happened on a sunday evening)!!  Thanks again!

I would recommend this testing site to everyone; as a matter of fact I already have!  I would especially like to thank two coaches who responded to my frantic inquiries, Asya Pogodina and Robin Gluck. These coaches were priceless and made me feel the programs full support. A big thank you goes to Robin Gluck for helping be out the night before he exam. Way to be supportive!
