Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 44 ratings
  • I passed!!

    I just passed the NCMHCE, and though this podcast wasn’t the only resource I used, I am VERY confident that it helped me to pass on the first go. Matt does a great job of organizing information and explaining how to both “think like the test” and to apply information in clinical work. Recommend for anyone prepping for a major counseling exam!
