Amanda you were my best friend throughout this journey! Thank you TDC, first time passed the test! I would highly recommend you take this course and rely on your experience, whether it was positive or negative. You can build on both with this study course. Thank you thank you!
After passing the test, I can say that I felt completely prepared (almost over-prepared) after completing the TDC study program. I think TDC does an excellent job for preparing you not just with the material in the actual test questions, but for the emotions and exhaustion of the actual test day.
Thank you so much for your help! I definitely took you in the room with me and used the strategies throughout the test. I made sure to take a bite of my snack and drink before going in and I'm glad I did because I didn't have enough time to take a break. You are awesome and I'm so glad I chose this study package versus ones that have you read and study on your own.
I used TDC for my MFT Law and Ethics exam and passed and I decided to use TDC for my MFT clinical licensure studying. I am a visual learner, so I was initially nervous with TDC because it is so heavily based in audio. However, I found that the audio in combination with the written materials and the practice exams worked perfectly for me. I actually found that I preferred the audio aspects of the studying. The practice questions are in the same style as the exam which helped me to feel less overwhelmed during the actual test. I only connected with the coaches once towards the last couple exams that they responded within the listed time frame and were very helpful and reassuring.
I felt that the TDC materials more than prepared me for the licensing exam.
I can't say thank you enough. I am so full.
Thank you for coming in to the room to take the test with me. I kept thinking how you would answer the question and that brought a sense of peace.
I had originally spent way to much money on another study system which required a ton of memorizing and gave no help at all on how to actually study for, prepare for, and actually take the test. I felt doomed. I had been out of practice for nearly 4 years and my original Registration number was going to expire in a few short months, so it was now or never. I had already renewed it the most times allowed. I submitted my paperwork in July 2020, and my new supervisor suggested Therapist Development Center to me. I still felt my time was running low and starting back in practice after a four year break meant I had a lot of information to brush up on. TDC was so easy because they helped me lay out my exact plan and when I would study. I would listen to the post casts in my car and as I fell asleep every night. The information was sinking in. When I got to the First of the final mock exams I scored a 58. I was mortified! I had previously been scoring in the 70's and 80's. I reached out to the online coach and she got back to me right away. She assured me the final two mocks were very difficult. I made sure I had enough time to do the second mock and go through all of the rationales prior to my big day. The computers were down when I arrived for my test time and I didn't start till an hour after my appointment. They had given us a dry erase board to use during our test so I used that time to write down all the tips I had remembered Amanda telling us regarding taking this test. There were also some Dx criteria I wrote down that I know would be hard to remember if I was under stress. I wrote as much down as I felt I needed to and then I was ready to start. I followed all of Amanda's guidance on food, and taking a break etc. I finished with 5 minutes left even after taking my break and having some food (the clock is still running even though I stopped to eat), and I'm glad I did because I was recharged and ready to go. The final 15 questions were so hard because I was realizing I was almost DONE! My anxiety was high at this time. I just kept breathing and staying calm, and reading each stem word by word. Relieved was an understatement when the proctor handed me that piece of paper that said "Congratulations." I sat in my car and just cried for a few minutes, tears of joy, and happiness and relief. I know I never could have passed if it were not for these study materials. Thanks to this entire team for creating such an amazing course to help us achieve our goals of licensure! Also, I was able to go onto Breeze and input my info and upgrade my license and it was done instantly after paying with a credit card. I was licensed that very same moment!

I love the audio format. This format really works for my learning style and as a busy person being able to bring them with me totally saved me. I really do wish they were available offline, maybe in an app? I really appreciate this program.
After taking both TDC final mock exams I was anxious, even though I passed both, but barely, But once I got to the actual exam and started answering questions I felt much more relaxed and confident as I started working my way through the exam. And, even though some questions were confusing, I felt a growing sense of confidence that I was working my way through the exam efficiently and answering questions correctly.
