When it comes to studying I never know if I’m doing it right. This program takes the guess work out of it and provides you with a system that is structured and manageable. I also could not believe how close some of the mock questions were to the real exam which was comforting as it made me feel confident during the exam. Thanks to this program, and following the structure, I passed on my first attempt!

Don't give up! Study Study and change the way you view the exam and you got it!

Thank you to TDC for your great study program and support along the way. This was a great study program and whenever i had a question and wrote into the tutors, i was quickly responded too and helped.

I started this journey with TDC almost a year July 2017 by the endorsement of many colleagues. I can not express how incredible the attention to detail this program was given to the study material. I studied for about 6 months before taking my exam in February. I felt "good". I felt like i studied as much as I could. I followed the program pretty much to the letter, with constant contact with Heidi and the Facebook family. I WAS READY. Heidi and I kept in touch weeks before my exam, encouraging me and answering all my questions. I WAS READY! I counted 10 emails between myself and Heidi! That woman is a SAINT! LOL!!

I failed.

I missed it by 7 points! I had no idea WHAT HAPPENED and what the heck was on that test! I couldn't understand the verbiage and there were just way too many research questions for me. I panicked. Everything, I knew went out the window that day. it was hard to tell my TDC Family on Facebook I failed. This is a group of individuals that really understood my pain, and embraced me while I cried. The Facebook Group is none-like-any-other! If it weren't for this Group and Heidi I do not think I would have come back.

I was given permission to take a break, when I really just wanted to quit! I did just that, I took a two- three month break... I couldn't even think about looking at the TDC website to study or even visit the Group I had become so close too. Everyone told me to take a break and not beat myself up. A few of us wrote the ASWB and complained about the test we took and were met with a very cold response. So I invested in one more thing the ASWB Handbook, it explained the process of how the questions were written and insight on how to read questions thoughtfully. Not as good as TDC, but still good to see it some where else.

I told Heidi wanted to take the private tutoring to get some insight and feedback. I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE PLEASED! Not only did I have her attention I was assured my thought processes were on point. However, after taking one more Mock exam and getting a 76% Heidi suggested I postponed my test a bit as she wanted me in my 80's before testing again. So I postponed my exam by 3 weeks and studied and took the last Mock exam and got a 77% not the best, but I was ready.

This time I was confident. Heidi and my supervisor at work assured me "YOU GOT THIS". My Facebook family assured me, "YOU GOT THIS". I did everything suggested by TDC and Heidi; I got a good nights sleep, I worked out the morning of and I choose not to study the day before, but treat myself to a big fat steak dinner. I woke up READY. I was confident.

I Passed. I needed 103 to pass and I got 118! I KILLED IT! I couldn't contain myself after the test. I jumped up and down in my private room and screamed in my hands! The woman looked at me concerned, like, "Are you alright?" I just looked at her and gave her the thumbs up! I continued to cry into the parking lot! I called my mom first, then I went to my support system that I have grown to love and posted in the Facebook Group, "I PASSSSSED!" with a picture of me with tears and my pass report.

You know what I will NEVER forget?
Heidi's message to me, " YAAASSSSS!!! Been eagerly awaiting this post all day, Darick! So very happy for you :D :D :D Take some time to do some serious CELEBRATING (and/or SLEEPING) this weekend."

This experience has been adventure one I am glad I am over with, but would use this program again if I needed too. When they say they are with you til you pass, they mean it! I couldn't have done it without you TDC and TDC Family. Thank you for lifting me when I needed it and encouraging me even when I didn't want it!

Always in Gratitude,
Darick Hendrix, LCSW

Absolutely fantastic program! Easily to follow. Well structured. Felt very prepared going into test day as long as you follow the program accurately. Questions are answered quickly via email for extra support. Can't thank TDC enough for your support! Excited for this next journey to come as an LCSW
Thank you TDC :-)

Great test taking strategies and broke down the information in a way that was not intimidating and easy to make a study plan.

I am absolutely grateful. All the material is not used on the exam however it is nice to have an abundance of information to pull from when a question is asked on the exam. I am overwhelmed with emotions and thankful for the process. This was my fifth time taking the exam and first time using TDC. I wish I would have known about it sooner. I would have used it and saved hundreds of dollars. Thank you! Happy Studying!

I am so grateful for TDC. I had failed the LCSW exam in May and was very afraid to take it again. While waiting for the 90 days between tests I read posts and compared study programs. The one I had used first was not entirely updated to the DSM-5 and not as in depth as TDC. After reading all the posts from people passing the test well above the required passing score, I looked into the program a little more. I loved the fact that the study material was prepared in a way that you learned by reading, writing, and auditory. I felt like I went into the exam a lot more prepared and pass or fail I understood the DSM-5 personality disorders better than before. Thank you again TDC!!

Thank God that I was able to return to him and focus on all areas f my life. I am back in church, eating right, exercising everyday with Yoga and walking. the TDC study plan was great.

Therapist Development Center prepares you by compiling a wealth of information into an organized, easy accessible study system. It allows you to focus and apply your knowledge through different learning styles. I utlized this program for both my LMSW and LCSW licensure exams and passed first try on each without using any other study system or practice tests. I felt confident throughout my exam and would highly recommend this program! They stay with you from start to finish and beyond! Thank you TDC!
