Course Reviews
Amanda- Thank you so much for preparing me for this exam and I feel so relieved and excited to be done with it. I felt so ready for the exam and it was just as you said, I could hear your voice during the exam and it was such a calming presence. So grateful!

I have a story to share. It has been a very long Road to Licensure. I spent the first three years suffering from Infertility and I was in my late 30's at this time(2009). It was really hard to focus on studying, and I made having a baby a priority. Three years later (2012) I had my daughter, and spent 2 years focused on motherhood, then sadly when she was 2, I was diagnosed with Lupus and almost died. Through it all, I remained steadfast at studying and testing, coming a few points from passing several times. I had chronic pain and fatigue, I felt like giving up many times. In 2018, I was back on my feet and with support and prayers really focused on making studying a priority on my lunch hour. I finally PASSED last Friday. I am so Happy, there are no words really to express how I feel. I am so Thankful to the TDC for making it as simple as can be, audios etc. were ingrained in my head, and at night I would hear Amanda's voice talk about how to rule out the silly answers first. Thank you. and now to move on with Life and Being a Mom.
Your test taking strategies are so helpful!!!
I feel this study material really prepared me for the exam. I studied for six weeks and felt confident going in. I feel that it didn't only prepare me for the exam, it made me a better clinician due to the information I gleaned in this study material. Thank you very much!
I study for my Law and Ethics and My MFT Clinical exam using only the TDC program and I passed both test the first time. I followed the study guide and completed the mock exams and reviewed them after. I found it very helpful to listen to Amanda's 8 minute Pep-Talk the day before the exam because during the exam I remembered this pep talk and applied it to cope with my anxiety during the test. Thank you!
You can't go wrong using the Therapist Development Center courses! Amanda gets you prepared not only for the actual material, but also gets you into the mindset you are going to need when taking these exams. I used her courses for the MFT Law and Ethics as well as the MFT Clinical Exam. Passed both on the first try. Not to say the course makes the exams easy, but at least you will get through it successfully. I can't imagine a better way to prepare for the BBS exams!
This time, when I went to the exam site, I was not nervous or apprehensive about the exam at all. The pointers in the audio lectures were more succinct and much easier to remember. I also enjoyed that everything was available online. TDC ALL THE WAY!
Tortoise and the Hare Remix
I would love to say I was the "hare" in this tale. However, I was a "tortoise". Unlike the popular tale, I saw a lot of "hares" quickly passing their exams; taking it only once. That was not the case of me. Test anxiety, life stressors, and self-doubt were the main "evil villains " in my tale preventing me from success. The good news is this testing program (TDC) came to the rescue and a true "hero". EXERSICING 2 days before and the day of the test also helped me greatly! Third times the charm! This "tortoise" has finally won the race! To anyone who has failed and not a "hare" in this testing journey DONT GIVE UP!!!!. TDC will be here, they will extend your time, and update your program with any additional testing tools to help you prepare. Use your failing experience to increase your endurance! Thank You So Much TCD Team for your support and understanding. I am finally Licensed!
There is no way I could have passed without TDC! Amanda was with me in the room, and I followed all of her pep talk tips which helped with my nerves. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I know for a fact I would have not passed without the TDC and how it is laid out in the study plan. I was completely nervous about the test (content & time) and TDC helped remind me about keeping as steady pass. This test is a woozie but TDC made me feel normal when they say your not going to feel like your passing. But keep going. Loved the motivation, the information, and assistance! Absolutely recommend this program. Also messages were promptly answered and felt heard when having a question.
Thanks TDC for the time taken to create an in-depth and well laid out study program. I took the exam today and passed with plenty of time to spare. In fact, your program prepared me so well that I felt like the exam questions were much easier. I was able to use the strategies from your study material to rule out answers and move through the exam quickly. I had the confidence, from your study material that I didn't have the first time around using another study program. I have and will continue to recommend your study program to others. Lisa R.
I recommend TDC to all my therapist friends. It is well laid out, teaches you how to think, and is really interesting and engaging. While it was always hard to sit down and study/listen to lectures, once I was doing it I found it engaging and dare I say, almost fun! Thank you TDC family! Passed both the law and ethics and clincial exam my first try using TDC.
I am happy to report I finally passed. Unfortunately, this was my third attempt. I realized this time, I wasn't as prepared before the first 2 attempts. The program is excellent, I just need to focus more, work on my test anxiety and attack the exam as Amanda recommended in the pep talk. Time management was a major issue for me, but I was able to resolve that problem when I became more confident in the material.
Thank you, TDC, for helping me pass both the CA Clinical MFT and National MFT Exams. Amanda's audio presentations were very helpful and catered well towards my learning style. All of the exam tips were a lifesaver. Good luck to all of you future LMFTs! You've got this! TDC will help.
I used TDC first for Law and Ethics, and Robin was amazing at answering my questions. When it came time to study for the clinical exam, I didn't even look at other programs. Throughout my time preparing to take the exam, I emailed Robin several times, and she was always quick to respond. Before taking the exam, I wanted to do a coaching session, and discovered Robin and Asya had switched places, so Asya was now my coach. Although I hadn't had any experiences with her, I set up the coaching session with her, and I have no doubt it made all the difference in me passing the clinical exam. Amanda truly does go in to the test with you. I could hear her voice throughout the exam, and between that and Asya's tips, I am happy to say I passed the exam the first time I took it. Thank you Amanda, Robin and Asya! TDC is the best!
