Social Work

This was a wonderful program. The organization of the materials made organizing and learning the material so much easier. It was presented in a way that that will be useful long beyond test time. The lectures were great as well as the other methods of reinforcing each concept. Having Bethany to talk to as the coach was so helpful, both to work through questions and have the support. I recommend this program wholeheartedly!

I feel that this study program really helped me to think about how to answer the questions. The quizzes were somewhat similar to the actual exam, but what helped me the most was taking the practice tests to get ready for the longer exam.

I have taken the 1st exam 3 times and failed all 3 times. I used both Grossman and AATBS and found that there was way too much information for my brain to wrap around; I immediately felt overwhelmed at the pile of books. After a year off from studying I researched THERAPIST DEVELOPMENT CENTER and was impressed with the pass rate. Upon deciding to invest the money into your company, I was very excited that I had a real person talking to me and telling me that I already knew the information but had to become proficient and learning HOW to take the test.

Thank you Amanda!!! I loved your program and felt that it had adequately prepared me to conquer the test. I was having a personal life stressor the day before my test and was thinking that I would not pass due to being highly emotional about the personal problem. I could not get my money back since it was too close to my test date and went to the test to hope for the best. I finished the test in plenty of time and was able to pass the first time through despite all that I had on my mind.

The Therapist Development Program is amazing!! As an ESL student this test was overwhelming, but this program helped me focus on the rational behind each question. I am overwhelmingly happy!

I explored all the different testing centers and found the Therapist Development Center.  I had a colleague who used it and had nothing but great things to say about the program.  The program worked great for me and I passed on my first time-both tests!  I followed the program exactly as laid out and it couldn't have been any smoother.  I loved how the program was organized and laid out.  It was easy to follow and most importantly...did not take up a lot of my time.

TDC, I simply wanted to say "Thank You" for helping me pass my LMSW on the first try! I passed with more than 17 points needed.   Special Thank you to my coach, Heidi Tobe, for assisting me with some of the rationales and providing me with insightful pointers. Thank you for an excellent product. I can't wait to use it in 2 more years for my LCSW!!!

Dear Amanda, I can't tell you how many times during the exam I could hear your voice in my head; especially during the more challenging reasoning questions!  Thank you so much for developing this excellent study system as it is far superior to the other companies out there. Anytime I was stuck on a concept, Bethany got back to me very promptly.
Warmly,
Mary Karlan

Thank you for giving me the confidence and knowledge to pass the written exam.  I put off the exam for nearly one year but with your guidance and excellent study plan, I PASSED!!!  I can not thank you enough *tears of joy*.  Now off to take the Vignette!!

I was licensed in another state fifteen years ago. However, I was so intimidated by the low pass rate in California that I did not take the LCSW exam here. That is, until I heard from colleagues about the success they were experiencing with Amanda Rowen and Therapist Development Center. It is so much more than a study system: I felt like I had a coach who was not only teaching me the test material, but building my confidence and sharpening my clinical knowledge at the same time.
