Course Reviews

“This course was fantastic. As a licensed clinician, I do not look forward to the bi-annual law and ethics reviews, but this one was entertaining, informative, and led me to make some significant improvements in informed consent, documentation, risk assessment, and preventative license protection.”

"This course was excellent. A fantastic refresher after being out of the field for a number of years. Very thorough but also kept me engaged. I appreciated having multiple therapists discussing the issues with each other in the audio as this felt like I was taking an in person workshop or course. I will definitely use TDC for future courses!”
