Your program prepared me well for the exam. The practice tests were very helpful and were very indicative of the type of questions on the actual test. Thank you very much for a great program!!

AMAZING course! I failed my first LCSW exam after using a cheaper program. The price is worth it! I've already recommended this program to a few friends who are going to start studying for their exam.

I was very satisfied with the TDC program and felt that it was very comprehensive. It does a great job at preparing you for reasoning based questions and breaks down the material very well. The Top 50 topics lecture I found especially helpful as it helps you with a lot of the First/Next questions you will get on the exam. The audio lectures are very helpful as you can listen to them while driving. My goal was to pass the exam on the first try and I was able to do that and I believe using TDC was huge factor in that.

Thank so much TDC. I passed my LCSW exam today. TDC made it possible with full time job and having a family to take care of. Make sure you get 78% above on the final mock exams because it really tells you whether you are really ready for the real exam. Also Heidi was great answering any questions and provided excellent suggestions (Thank you Heidi!!!)

Thank you, TDC! I passed my LCSW exam today. You provided me with an easy-to-follow structure to study for the test. The tips and suggestions on answering various types of questions were valuable while I was taking the test today. A BIG Thank you to Heidi for her prompt responses whenever I asked any question. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in preparing for LCSW exam.

After using your system, I was able to understand the questions better and understand how to arrive at the correct answer.

This program definitely made the difference for me in passing the exam. The questions were very similar to the real exam.

This course prepared me quickly identify and to look at the components of each question carefully. The practice tests and exams eased my stress, for when I sat down to test I had done it enough times that I was not anxious.

I honestly do not believe I would have passed if not for this program. I purchased the ASWB exam guide book and was immediately overwhelmed by the amount and scope of topics. This course broke the test down into easy to remember steps and the "common sense" approach to the question stem helped me succeed. I listened to the DSM What's the Difference at least three times and it really assisted in those questions where it could be one or the other (ODD VS Anti-social is a great example that I saw on the exam). The quizzes really helped with my confidence level. Lastly, I wasn't going to listen to the final pep talk, but I am glad I did! It really put me in the mindset to test and I walked in with confidence, took it one question at a time, and did not allow myself to panic if I did not know the answer to one of the questions. This course truly prepared me for success on the exam and I will be recommending it.

I am very happy to share that I passed my California clinical licensing examination to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)!!! I think it is also important to share that the process to get to this point was not easy. This journey started way back in 2006 when I started my Masters of Social Work Program and graduated in 2008 from San Jose State University with my (MSW). After graduate school, I accumulated over 5,000 hours of clinical work experience and supervision in the mental health field. The first time I took the LCSW clinical exam was in 2018 but I did not give myself sufficient time to study and review the entire Therapist Development program but was trying to be optimistic and took it anyway and did not pass. In 2018 prior to taking the test I remember I had to pump (because at that time I was still breastfeeding/pumping) every 3 hours, therefore, prior to taking my test I pumped in my car, took the test then after the test had to pump again and wash all the pump parts. Since I did not pass the exam in 2018, I made sure that if I was going to take it again, I had to give myself more time to study, review and complete the entire Therapist Development Study Program. After experiencing postpartum depression/anxiety (ppd/ppi) I decided to take a long break from studying until I felt better. I received support from my parents, seeked my own therapy, attended therapy support groups, postpartum support groups, and once a week/every two weeks took a salsa class to rejuvenate my soul. Once I felt like myself again and felt 100% better in December 2018-March 2019 I prepared and studied for the LCSW clinical exam using the Therapist Development Center which was the best program I could use for both the Law and Ethics exam and the LCSW clinical exam. After taking additional pre-requisite online courses, trainings, and passing the Law and Ethics Exam in 2017 I can finally say I have completed the last step of this this journey. On March 2nd 2019 after having test and overall exhaustion I received the best news that I passed the exam! Set goals and trust the process! Achieving this goal is a reminder that I would not be here today if it weren’t for my parent’s unconditional support, the TRIO 3-1-3 pre-college program I was in during high school and my husband’s encouragement and 100% support. I want to give a special thank you to my husband Alfredo, my sister, and my parents who supported me during this process and took care of Zanaira so I could focus and study. Thank you to my former co-workers who I would consult with about cases or talk about ways to better our communities. Thank you to all of my clinical supervisors and program managers who I learned from and who guided me during my career! Thank you to the amazing study program, Therapist Development Center!! Lastly, a big thank you to all of my former clients and their families who gave me the opportunity to learn from them, work with them and trust me to be their therapist/counselor. I hope where ever my former clients and their families may be that they are doing well! By obtaining my LCSW I hope in the future this can help me make a bigger impact in our community and help those in most need. “The harder you work for something the greater you’ll feel when you achieve it.”
