MFT

I think the most critical aspect of this study center is that Amanda is teaching you how to reason through the question stems. I felt overwhelmed by other prep companies because I felt that the amount of information that was being taught was excessive. I felt this study system guided me with the essential information that I needed to know, but more importantly how to think through each question stem to get myself to the correct answer. I passed on my first try....thank you!!

I heard from my colleagues who had taken the exam prior to my completion of hours, and they highly recommended Therapist Development Center. I have been a member of this since submitting my hours to BBS almost a year ago, and I passed the exam on my first try. I found that the lectures prepared me for the exam well. The staff were very understanding, and when I explained I needed a third extension because I haven't signed up for the exam due to severe test anxiety, they not only extended my time but provided me with resources to help combat test anxiety!

I am so very thankful to have passed the Standard Written Exam this morning! I "took" Amanda into the testing room with me and I remembered the strategies learned throughout the course. I am grateful that I paced my studying out, to meet my needs, and really honed in on re-learning and remembering the content necessary to pass. I am feeling very thankful for TDC right now!

I had a unique experience going into this exam for the third time. First off, I had lost all confidence in myself and my abilities after taking the exam twice and failing by 1 point each time. Secondly, my father passed away 11 days before I was scheduled to take my exam and of course I had scheduled it on the last possible day that the BBS would allow me to take it so I couldn't reschedule. So in the middle of me studying, I was also planning the funeral of my father, one of my biggest supporters. The exam material was GREAT!

I felt confident the entire time...from the moment I started studying to the moment I sat in the exam chair!

I can't thank Amanda/team enough for helping me through this monster of an exam (the CWE for MFT). TDC's strategies were key. I found it helpful for me to think of her voice in terms of what she would do as I was working my way through the exam. Her rationales were always on point. Robin Gluck coached me for an hour before the exam- she was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this program to anyone! I passed the SWE and the CWE using it. Thank you TDC!!!

Another success story? I doubt it! Who else can say, "I'm 70 years of age, challenged by test anxiety, stressed because I'd reached the time limit on my Los Angeles County Intern mental health clinician position. I needed to pass this exam or lose my well paying job. I studied Amanda Rowan and PASSED on my first attempt! Thankyou Therapist Development Center! You helped me secure my dream job AND get promoted!"

What I like the most about this program is how respectful and ethical TDC is. TDC does not try to teach you tricks to "beat the system". They teach from a perspective of bringing out the best in each person taking these tests. If one stays confident, knows the basics, has some basic critical thinking skills, and follows TDC's advice, it will be difficult not to pass.

I used AATBS for my first MFT CVE exam and didn't pass. The material was esoteric and dry to me. My friend recommended TDC and I'm happy to report I passed the CVE this time! The real life examples, practical verbiage and framing really made the test manageable and clear. The frames really supported my clinical gut which gave me confidence going into the test and during the exam. Additionally, I had a couple sessions with Robin that were priceless.

I found the strategies to be key to my getting through to finishing the exam. My challenge is reading slowly and some desire to "get it right" the first time. It really helped me to hear that the exams could be front loaded with difficult questions and to make sure to mark it and move on, in order to get to the very last, less challenging questions. I don't recall have this awareness for exam #1, which I gratefully passed, but ended up leaving many unanswered. Thank you for all the much needed extensions during my first year of motherhood! Onward and Upward!!
