MFT Exam Prep Reviews

TDC was great in preparing me for this exam.  I graduated way back in 1987 from graduate school, and although I have always been an administrator in the behavioral healthcare industry, I decided to go back and start doing all my hours over again to get licensed as an MFT after the birth of my twins in 2007 so I could be home with them. Although having spent the last 6 years gaining hours, and the administrative oversight and experience over the years, I hadn't been in graduate school formally for over almost 30 years! TDC was instrumental in helping me organize all the information, and focus on what I needed to be focused on to pass this exam my first time, all while continuing to balance my day to day life as a parent, spouse and busy volunteer - volunteering in my twins' classrooms and on the PTA,  seeing clients at a community mental health program, and still feeling like I had a life outside of my preparations for this exam.  The coaching response was also amazingly supportive, and immediate.  Although I had no idea how I was doing during the exam, and felt like I was not likely passing it, I kept remembering Amanda saying during the exam to tolerate uncertainty and that feeling you aren't passing as 95% of examinees feel that way.   Each time I began to feel that way, I would hear Amanda's voice, and remind myself that feeling was normal, and immediately my anxiety would be lowered and kept me focused and on track.  Thank you TDC!  I am looking forward to the Clinical Vignette study program and passing this last exam in this long journey to becoming licensed!!

First I used Gerry Grossman, then I tried AATBS. I felt Gerry Grossman was helpful in refreshing what I learned in Graduate School, however after spending countless hours taking practice exams and studying the lengthy material I began to burn out. I then gave AATBS a try, I would say the practice exams on AATBS were somewhat helpful, but at times I felt the rationales were convoluted and discouraging, and at times would contradict Grossman, adding undue stress and negativity to an already difficult process. 

I decided to give TDC a try. All I have to say is it was amazing! Succinct, informative, user-friendly and it restored my confidence in the knowledge I had already attained throughout the years working as an intern. Furthermore, her test-taking strategies were extremely helpful, which really proved positive during the anxiety-provoking in vivo examination process.

Thank you, TDC and to your helpful team (Asya) for giving me the confidence to pass. I have already referred many colleagues to your program and will tell many more.

I was successful - to my own surprise - passing the Written Exam two months ago, using another company's program.  I say "surprised" because the exam experience bore little resemblance to the real "in vivo" encounter.  Perhaps the advantage then was simply that I had to wait 10 months from application time to the BBS until a date was established, so lots of study time. When I contacted Amanda five weeks ago, expressing anxiety that I did not feel the same company was going to equip me for the CVE, I made the switch to The Therapist Development Center.  Through the online lectures and presentation of materials, things really started to make sense in a very focused way.  I started hearing Amanda's voice inside of my own head, reasoning answers with a coherent rationale. While it would be foolish to say that the exam this morning was "easy", it actually became very "simple".

Thank you, thank you, thank you.  I'm so happy with my experience and am very satisfied with this study program. The program was very straight forward, and personable.  I'm highly satisfied with the experience.
