What Students Are Saying... "I Passed!"
"I passed! I began this program 4 weeks before my test. I graduated 3 years ago and only had my theories flashcards from my Master's Program. I studied hard for one month and then took the practice test. I passed, but not by a comfortable margin. So, I signed up for Laugh Your Way to Licensure® and dove in. The program was the key to me passing the National Exam on the 1st try. I scored 145 out of 180. The program built my confidence and gave me clear tools and a smart plan for dialing in the things I needed to know as my test date approached. This program was a Godsend for me and I do not think I would have performed so well without it. Thank you so much!"

Congratulations Michele!

"I’m excited to share that I passed! I received my scores on Friday, February 13, and my overall score improved by 21 points compared to my previous exam. This was my third attempt.
Thank you so much for creating this program. While I was very hopeful about passing the first time, I can now see that I truly wasn’t as prepared as I needed to be. I felt more confident going into the second attempt, but after reflecting and reviewing the areas where I fell short, I recognized the gaps in both my understanding and my approach. The Laugh Your Way to Licensure program gave me not only a stronger grasp of the material, but also the practical strategies and skills to navigate how to take the exam. Learning how to break down questions, manage time effectively, and think critically about answer choices made a tremendous difference. I went into this attempt feeling equipped—not just hopeful. I am incredibly grateful for this program and the opportunity it gave me to be fully prepared to pass and confidently move forward into the next steps of my second career. Thank you for creating something that truly makes a difference." - Michele Martin

Success Story!!!

The greatest challenge I had was the anxiety and heart racing. I used your mindfulness techniques and still use it now. I got an app on my phone that I use on a regular basis- Insight Timer. I feel we as test takers, put so much pressure on us to pass this exam. We depend on this exam to help us with our livelihood. That pressure had to come off.

When asked about what helped him the most? Determination,Learning how to take the exam and test taking techniques. Mindfulness and EFT Tapping. Join a group of others on the same journey. Help one another and support one another.
You are never going to know what is on the exam or what it looks like till you get in there. Practice as many questions as you can and in the end, you are going to have to know the material or enough of it to pick the correct answer out of four. Practice mindfulness.

Hope that helps. Please continue to help as many MFTs as you can. We need more of us!

Thanks
Mike

Kimberly Cole-Floyd's Success Story 🎉 🎉 🎉 on Sep 2, 2025

Hi All

I graduated from Grad school 10 years ago but I can say without a doubt this program prepared me well. When I decided to move forward with licensure at the age of 54 ( I felt I was too old ) then I told myself you are paying student loans you need to get the most out of grad school. I passed First Try !!!! Took exam in June and got results July 17th - I had cried; I was so happy!

That test is no joke, but I was adamant I was going to put all my energy into preparing. I had 3 months to prepare- I dropped my hours to 32 hours a week instead of 40 hours at work. Following the program (breathing before studying every time - breathing before mock exams) and making sure I studied and taking the mock exams. Working on the areas where I missed.

Mindfulness, breathing, and praying before entering the testing facility then when I sat down breathing at the beginning and during the exam helped me stay calm.
So with getting my GA licenses, as LAMFT - I got a huge bump in pay at work as a crisis counselor and could not be happier.

SO My advice is stay with the program make a schedule and stick to your schedule - if you miss a time go back and make it up. Stay diligent and study hard.

Garrett Gwin's Success Story 😀 on Nov 3, 2025

Twice a week study, even though it was only an hour at a time, helped more than anything. Didn’t find very many questions that I could use the red light green light on the actual exam. Passed first time.

Flynn Johnson"s Success Story 😄 on Nov 7, 2025

I read the Big Green Book while going through the modules in this course which helped me to chunk the information. I think Dr. Gehart's worksheets were the key to understanding the material, and it's the kind of thing you don't get anywhere else! Same with the comparison charts for the main theories. Also, if it says "less likely on national exam," or "CA exam only," study it anyway!

Great job Juliana! "I wanted to share with you the great news that I passed the MFT National test!!! Thank you for all ...

Great job Juliana!

"I wanted to share with you the great news that I passed the MFT National test!!! Thank you for all your support with the videos and the group live study! I am indeed grateful! Your full length videos have helped me a lot on understanding the models and the worksheets you created helped me with the key elements of each model. The mindfulness was key as well of keeping my “lid on” and taking breaks when needed it." - Juliana Hofhiens
