READERS RATE THE ROSENTHAL MATERIALS AS
OUTSTANDING!
Dear Dr. Rosenthal,
You are a very
modest man. On your website you state that at best your program would be a supplement for a psychology grad studying for the
Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). I'm writing to say that I did not understand the explanations
in the learning theory section of my EPPP study guides. I say study guides plural, because I have two of them for the EPPP.
One of them alone set me back over $1000.00. Panic was beginning to set in. Luckily, a friend at my health club who is studying
to be a counselor told me about your audio program. I kid you not when I say that your explanations were flat out better and
way easier to comprehend than the lectures in either of those high price tag EPPP programs. What surprised me the most was
that you even covered a huge chunk of information they left out and certainly your presentations are more interesting. And
yes, the memory devices on classical conditioning worked for me! Ginger Web
Hi Dr. Rosenthal,
I studied with
your CDs and book for about 6 to 8 hours a week for a little less than one month and passed the NCE here in Chicago on Friday
with a score of 138/160. Nationally, the latest statistics show the highest scores to be around 125. The passing score on
my exam was 99. In other words, I killed it!
More importantly,
I have been out of graduate school for more than 2 years and have not been employed in a position requiring the regular usage
or awareness of counseling or psychological terminology. In fact, much of what I learned in school seemed like a distant
memory but your CDs quickly brought a lot of that information back.
Thank you for your materials, they really are the best!
Ryan
I wanted to share the news with
you that I passed the NCE - Yeah! Thank you!!! I found your Mastery kit very helpful in helping me pass this exam the
second time around. The CDs provided an excellent review and kept me busy listening while in commuter traffic.
I am very happy to report to you and hope others will hop on board with the study materials.
Warmest Regards,

Hi Dr. Rosenthal,
I contacted you a few weeks ago re: your CPCE study CDs. I took your
advice, ordered the CDs, listened to every single one within the week.....and received the 2nd highest score in my school
(NYU).
The person who came in first was the friend who recommended
the CDs to me.Thanks!
We really enjoyed the lessons. Miss listening to you!
Thanks again,

Dr. Rosenthal,
This past Saturday I received notification that I had passed the NCE in
order to become a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I was so excited because I thought that I had failed the
exam. Your CD's and Encyclopedia of Counseling were responsible for me passing. I completed my Masters in
Counseling 30 years ago and returned to the counseling field only 3 years ago. Your study materials for the NCE
were right on target. Thanks again.

Dear Dr. Rosenthal,
I just took the NCE and passed last week. Thank you for your wonderful study guide. I don't think I would
have passed without it. I listened to your CDs and read through the Encyclopedia of Counseling book. You really helped me
not be too nervous for the test, and I actually enjoyed studying for it!
Thank
you.

Hi Dr. Rosenthal,
Just a note from a successful satisfied
customer. I passed! (136/160) I really felt prepared and actually did enjoy listening to your audio program
and reading the encyclopedia. Appreciated your “test hints” and your upbeat style. I only wish you had a
similar program to help me prepare for the EPPP. The ones I’ve heard are pretty boring.
Regards,

Hello Dr. Rosenthal,
I
am writing from Chickasha, Oklahoma. I am a Professional School Counselor who has been in the LPC process for almost three
years now. I started studying about 1 1/2 years ago. I have taken the NCE 4 times prior to getting the CDs and going online
to the counselingexam.com website. I scored a 78 prior to reading and listening to your wonderful CDs and reading the
"Encyclopedia of Counseling." After this happened I scored a 94 but the cut was 99 so I said keep studying and I
just took the NCE for the 5th time and I PASSED. I was SO EXCITED. If any one reads this and thinks that persistance does
not pay then they need to get your materials prior to taking the NCE or any other EXAM. I feel WITHOUT A DOUBT that I would
not have PASSED THE NCE if I did not have your materials. THANK YOU for the great materials. It is my hope that ALL studying
for the NCE get your materials NOW.
One Greatful Customer,

Dear Dr. Howard:
Last May I purchased the Valedictorian
Master Course to prepare for the NBCC National Counselor Examination. I recently took the exam and am pleased to report that
I passed with 32 points above the minimum passing score. The CD program and Enclyclopedia of Counseling were my primary study
sources and provided an excellent source of material that covered all aspects of the NCE examination. I highly recommend the
Valedictorian Master Course for anyone planning to take the NCE examination. The material is well organized, covers all essential
aspects of the subjects to be tested, and makes studying and learning the material enjoyable and less stressful.
Richard Capriola
Dr. Rosenthal:
Your materials (combined with the counselingexam.com site) helped me pass the NCE (143), thank you!
The mean score was 115.37.
Sincerely,
Lisa Splinter
Hi Dr. Rosenthal,
Your products live up to the claims. Thank you so much for the fabulous products you have developed that make
studying for the NCE a much less daunting task. I used your CD's, Encyclopedia and Dictionary to study for the NCE
which I took in April 2007. I passed with a high score and felt very well prepared for the exam. Your CD's are so engaging
that it makes learning the material fun and easy. Your books are also very well designed to enhance learning and retention.
A classmate purchased another well-known NCE Prep program that contained
a large manual but no CD's. I had planned to study from her manual one weekend, but it was so boring and confusing
that I put it aside feeling confident that I had a better test prep product.
I've recommended your NCE test prep system to several people and think your products are also great to
use while your taking classes. Thanks again for the time and thought you put in to developing a highly effective test prep
program.

Dear Dr. Rosenthal:
The moment has
finally come when I can send this email to you. I am, at last, one of the many, many others who have used your material (Encyclopedia
of Counseling, along with your CD's) to study for the National Counselor Exam who can say: I PASSED!!!
Thank you so much; I couldn't have done it without you. Your book was
informative, friendly and fun. I will miss driving back and forth to work, listening to your CD's. (OK. I admit it; I
drove my car even when I had no destination, just to listen to your audios!)
The exam was much more grueling than I'd imagined, even though I entered the testing site telling everyone
that I would be getting 160 questions correct. NOT!! Phew! Who WRITES those questions?!
Anyway, after much crying---from joy--last night, I had to sit down and send this fan letter to you.
Thanks a mill.
Lisa DeVries, NCC
Dear Dr. Rosenthal,
Well, I'll temporarily dispense with humility and exclaim to
you,
I PASSED THE NATIONAL COUNSELOR EXAMINATION AND THE MARYLAND
STATE LAW TEST (April 21st administration)!
I just received the
results today, opening the envelope with a pounding heart and trembling hands!
I feel so grateful to you for writing and producing the study guide materials and the audio disks
and for doing so in such an organized and affirming manner. The way your questions build upon each other and promote success
had kept up my morale and study pace.
....
Again, thank you so much for your role in my achievement,

Hello
Dr. Rosenthal
I just passed the NCE exam and I wanted
to say thank you for your incredible book "The Encyclopedia of Counseling" and your CD collection. This was instrumental
in my passing the NCE to obtain my licensure in Ohio. Your book and training CD made studying fun and your additional boot
camp and test anxiety supplements were great. I will recommend your work to all of my fellow graduates and students at the
Community and Rehabilitation Counseling Program at Ohio University in Athens. Please, if you would like, use my name in your
testimonials.

I just wanted to thank you for your book and CD's for the NCE. They were my
study material for this test and I did well. Passing score=102, Mean=117, My score=135. Your materials are the greatest.
Thank you so very much,
Robert J. Geiger CDP
I know you get letters
like this all the time. But I am so happy, I had to write and thank you. I am 71 years old, and out of school
over 20 years and guess what…..

I PASSED MY TEST
ON MY FIRST TRY. I took the test March 28 for state licensing in Georgia. I totally let you guide me throughout
the CD's and the wonderful "Encyclopedia", and it worked. Along with prayer and a light heart from your
humor and way of presentation, I just had to write and thank you.
Mary

Dr. R,
I received your book and CD's late last year and took
my exam a month ago.
You guessed it!
I passed AND I can safely say your
Encyclopedia and CD's
help me do it!!
I am telling everyone to get your book
and CD's if
they want to pass the COMPS. Plus, your
humor and
insight made the reading interesting and almost fun!
Thanks again,

Dr. Rosenthal:
I
just wanted to thank you so much for your CD package. I listened to
all
the discs four times over four months and took the NCE. Today I
found
out I passed. It has been over 25 years since I have been in grad
school
and your CD's were invaluable. I would listen to them on the way
to
work everyday. My family felt they knew you as I they would hear:
'Hi,
this is Dr. Howard Rosenthal' on a regular basis. Thank you so
much
for making this second career come true in my life!
--Greg
I just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" for your audio program
and Encyclopedia. They were the only prep materials I used and I PASSED the NCE the first try! I finished grad school nine
years ago (this is my second career - I'm 61 years old). I will recommend your materials to everyone. I could
not have passed the exam without your materials. The content was much stronger than my graduate program! Thank you!

Dear Dr. Rosenthal:
I want to personally thank you for helping me pass the NCE.
Your audio and encyclopedia for counselors is the greatest material I have ever used to prep for any exam. I was administered
the test 22 July 06. I listened to your audio from April thru July and it really does work and it was worth every dime. You
were the first thing I heard in the morning and the last thing before going to bed, in fact, when I finally listened to music
it was strange. I wanted to be your next testimonial and thanks to you, I have obtained that goal.
God Bless,

Dr. Rosenthal,
I am just writing to say thank you for helping me to pass my NCE exam to
become a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. I had previously
failed my first attempt to pass the Texas LPC exam in 2003 and since then
have been afraid to take the new NCE exam for fear of failing a second
time. After going through another study course twice in
the last three
years, I needed a change and a new approach.
Your Encyclopedia of
Counseling book and audio series was just
the thing I needed. While the other
study course
was very thorough, I needed the simplicity that your course
offered
and I passed with 30 points to spare! Thank you again for helping me to
achieve
my dream!
Sincerely,
Mary Jane Walker
McKinney, Texas
Dear Dr. Rosenthal:
I want to offer my heartfelt thanks for the work you have done with your NCE study materials. I was skeptical
at first of using study aids, (remembering old boring prep books for the GRE). But I was amazed at the wealth of information
in your Encyclopedia of Counseling. Also the CD's were very helpful even though I am more of a visual learner than an
auditory learner. My wife, who is a Pharmacist, listened to some of the CD's with me and remarked how funny you
are and how clear you are in your presentation of information. I really believe your materials along with www.counselingexam.com
were the main reasons I passed the NCE on the first try.
Thanks
again and I hope your birds, that were on one of the CD’s, pass the test soon as well!!
Follow your dreams!
Frank Coulson
"To all who are preparing for the National Counselor Exam, you
do not need to look any further than Dr. Rosenthal's website. As you prepare for the NCE, I HIGHLY suggest the 'Valedictorian
Package' from Dr. Rosenthal. My advice: (1) Start studying at least 6 months in advance, as there is a lot of material
to cover; (2) Spend equal time on all subjects as the NCE changes each time and you never know what material they will focus
heavily on; and (3) Read Dr. Rosenthal's 'Encyclopedia of Counseling' AND listen to his CD's and you WILL
pass the NCE. I am living proof that if you take the time everyday to study, using Dr. Rosenthal's study materials, you
will be successful in passing the NCE. Dr. Rosenthal's NCE study materials are THE best return on your investment. I passed
the NCE and so can you!"

Hello,
I just wanted to let you know I received
my results from the October NCE exam a few days ago.
I scored
138! Your audio program was a big help,
Thanks again,
Debi Bonine-Giles
A friend in my neighborhood introduced me to Dr. Rosenthal's book about 3 months before the exam. Soon
after, I ordered the audio series as well. As I listened and read the book, I felt that I was really learning the fundamentals
of what I needed to know-from Freud's stages to the work of Piaget, it was all making sense using your materials.
Also, I loved your memory devices. For example, I saw a question on the exam that used Super and Self Concept in the
same question and I knew the answer! Thanks again Dr. Rosenthal.
God's best to you and yours,
Chris McDuffie,
MA, LAPC
Hi Dr. Rosenthal,
In December, I ordered your set of 15 cassette tapes to review for the exit exam that I take
in order to obtain my Master's degree in Counselor Education. I also purchased your book about test preparation
and 1,000 review questions. I found both of the materials to be very helpful. I also get to say, "I passed!"
Your materials were a wonderful review for me. I am so thankful that I was able to find out about your resources.
Sincerely,
Ellen Carter Smith
Hi Dr. Rosenthal,
I took the CPCE last week, (which Liberty University uses as
their
comprehensive exam), and used your material to study. I
spent weeks
listening to the audio CD's while I was driving
and even got a portable CD
player to listen when I was walking
or working in the yard. I passed with a
very high score. Thank
you very much for your help. I will be taking my
state licensure
exam now and I am very confident that I will pass that also.
You
are doing a great service to students who are anxious about the test.
Thanks
again.
Chet Fowler
I wanted to say thanks for helping me pass the exam. I ordered the book, audio program, and test anxiety
CD. All great and very useful. I switched careers from business to counseling. My post graduate work for the last two years
has been organizational counseling, and I was rusty on a great deal of what I had learned in school. I received the material
in February and took the exam in April. Not only did I pass, I scored very high. I decided to take the NCE and NCHME on the
same day so the pressure was on. I know I wouldn't have been able to do it without your material. However, the thing that
stood out to me was when you signed the copy of "Before you see your first client… "Best Wishes". That
was really encouraging.
Thanks again,
Jack Smith, LCPC
Dr
Rosenthal,
I have been waiting with great anticipation
for my results after taking my exam on 4/19. Well, you did it again. I passed!! Your material allowed me
to be totally prepared for the test. After reading through and answering the exhausting 1000 questions in your book,
combined with listening to the audio materials, sitting down and looking at the test booklet seemed like a breeze. And
the Super Review was, well, SUPER. I listened to it two days before, the day before and driving to the test. I
never got to listen to the anxiety reducing CD because frankly, I felt so prepared, I wasn't anxious. After being
out of school for several years, your material was what saved me. Thank you!!
Geoff
Dr. Rosenthal - I passed
the NCE on the first try, thanks to your book,
"The Encyclopedia
of Counseling". Your book was a thorough
preparation
for the test. I needed a refresher because I completed graduate school in 1989. I have worked as a counselor
since then but forgot some of the names and details of theories. Your book helped me get the necessary tune-up for the
test. I bought some other really dry materials and quickly disgarded them
when I found inaccuarcies. THANK YOU for created a system that allowed me
to pass a difficult test, 16 years after graduate school.
Sincerely, Marty Garrigues, M.S., NCC
I
know that you must get many emails from people who have used your study materials but I want to add just one more. I just
passed LPC exam in Texas! It does feel good to say I PASSED! I had been using other study materials and having a difficult
time retaining all the information. Your relaxed approached sprinkled with humor was what I needed to put the pieces together.
The study time went by fast and did not seem like work but more like a challenge. The audio materials were easy to use, I
used the tapes whenever I had 15 or 20 minutes or on long trips in the car. Thanks again! Glenda Collins-- Odessa, Texas.
Dear Dr. Rosenthal:
Just a note to let you know I got my NCE scores today from the October 23rd, 2004 exam. My score was 130 with
93 needed to pass. Thank you so much for making such excellent products. I would have gone nuts trying to study all that material
without your concise, effective review book and tapes. Your book and audio program are the absolute best study materials for
the NCE on the market, bar none. Your other materials are also top shelf. I wish you and yours a blessed Christmas and a very
Happy New Year. Carlton Lewis
Dr. Rosenthal, I used your
book and audio materials to score 143 out of 160 on the NCE! Just wanted to express my appreciation. Thanks. Brad Sears
Dear Dr. Rosenthal, I just passed the Texas LPC exam. It would be
my pleasure to testify for you your great help in passing the Texas LPC exam. I did not attend any workshops. I used your
materials and my text books. I had been listening to the tapes on my way to work and solving the problems from the Encyclopedia
of Counseling in the evening. I studied as faithfully as humanly possible. The Texas exam has a part for abnormal psychology,
and that was not a part of your material. The exam was on computer. It was 224 questions to be answered in 240 minutes. I
finished the 224 questions in 195. I knew the result immediately after the test. Definitely knowing your material like the
back of my hand made the test a breeze. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Salwa Hanna, M.Ed.
Hi Dr. Rosenthal, First of all, I hope you are having a happy holiday season. I would also like to
tell you that because of you I have passed the LPC without difficulty. After I acquired your study guides I simply tossed
the other three I had. I highly recommend yours as a single source. I have also bought various books of yours as a reference
for counseling my clients. All of your books are to the point without mumbo jumbo. Thank you. Tess Myers
I just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" for your audio prep package and
Encyclopedia. They were the only prep materials I used and I PASSED the NCE the first try! I will be recommending your materials
to everyone. I could not have passed the exam without your materials. The content was much stronger than my graduate program!
Thank you! James C. Farris Red Banks, MS
Dr. Rosenthal,
I have enjoyed your tapes so much. I like your sense of humor along with your kindness and gentleness. It's like sitting
in my living room and having a chat with you. Fran Mastroianni
Dear
Dr. Rosenthal, Thank you for being a caring person who is not just out to make a buck. As you know, my daughter Tiana's
house burned to the ground and she lost everything. It was terrible. No insurance. Money was tight and she was out of work.
She needed her counseling license to get a job. You may recall that I e-mailed you and shared the situation. You told me not
to worry and told me that you would loan her the materials free of charge. Tiana was excited. I feel guilty admitting this
to you but I told her not to get too excited. People promise stuff all the time and never keep their promises. Tiana and I
have had a lot of disappointments in our lives. Truthfully, I have never heard of a company doing anything like that and I
figured you wouldn't either. We both had tears in our eyes the next day when we received your Valedictorian Master Course.
You even sent it by express UPS. Tiana is now a licensed counselor thanks to your generosity. Yes, you have genuinely touched
our lives in a very special way. Unfortunately you probably won't be able to put this e-mail on your web pages because
you couldn't stay in business if you gave your materials out for free to everyone who needed your programs and books.
Bless you. Ida Williams
"Dr. Rosenthal, You are an
angel! Thank you so much for your help. You became part of my life for five months. After a while you were my friend, a mentor,
or like my father chastising me to rest if I was tired, sending me to drink (nonalcoholic, of course) after the mini review
(the Boot Camp). I could go on for all the times you had me cracking up, laughing because of your comments and memory devices.
What' I'm trying to say is that I'm so happy I do not know what to say. THANK YOU . . . THANK YOU . . . THANK
YOU. I did not pass the first time. I had a boring, long and tedious study guide that obviously did not help. I do believe
your book and audio programs were the key to my success. " Yours in Certified Counseling (ja!ja!ja!), Gloria J. Rodriguez-Ransom
"I did poorly in statistics when I was in graduate school, however,

courses . . . includes materials seldom covered in courses." -- Dr. Arthur C. Myers, Private Practice and Adjunct Professor
of Counseling
"I bought your audio prep package and
the Encyclopedia of Counseling earlier this year. I took the new NCE and passed! . . . the memory devices are fun! Thank you

some areas.) " --Carol Curran, M.A. Licensed Mental Health Practitioner, Norfolk, Nebraska

"It
seems an understatement to say that your audio study guides were an asset in helping me pass the exam. Thanks!" --Joan
Schmeckebier, LPC
"I passed the new National Counselor
Exam. Your text and tapes were worth every penny, as I felt confident going into the test and well surpassed the minimum cut-off
score. I used the tapes extensively in the car. Your presentation was excellent. I wish I had the opportunity to have had
you as my professor." -- Ken Zelinski
" After
reading everything and anything on the subject of suicide . . . your book Not With My Life I Don't is in my opinion the
best work of its kind available. " -- Ray Fabing Pastor
"Hi
Dr. Rosenthal . . . I just received my NCE test results . . . 93% correct! Since the passing rate in my state is only 61%,
that was really a nice margin. . . . " -- Janet Scarborough
"Thank
you for saving my son's life . . . your Help Yourself to Positive Mental Health book is truly wonderful. I just wanted
to thank you and your co-author Dr. Joseph Hollis.-- Betty Ansen Parent/Middle School Teacher
"I'm sure that you have heard this many times, but . . . Thank you. I passed the NCE and now
hold my LPC. I couldn't have done it without your study guide and tapes. Thanks so very much!!!" --Debra J. Moore,
LPC, Assistant Director, Counseling and Testing, Albany State University
"I hate to admit this but I learned more about "the real world of helping" from your excellent
little book Before You See Your First Client, 55 Things Counselors and Human Service Workers Need to Know , than I did from
my entire graduate program. And yes I am using your advice to secure free ethical advertising and to open a 100% risk-free
private practice. What can I say but thanks. " -- Bret Hanson, Psy.D.
"The results are in! I passed the Licensure Exam with flying colors! How did I study? I read Howard
Rosenthal's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COUNSELING and listened to his great study tapes!! Got the results I wanted thanks to Howard
Rosenthal." --Susie Herman, St. Louis Community College
"Excellent
. . . Dr. Rosenthal's book [NOT WITH MY LIFE I DON'T]and video [SUICIDE PREVENTION STRATEGIES THAT WORK] are important
contributions to the field of suicidology. I have recommended them everywhere I go, and use them for training and workshops
I conduct in a two state area. Hats off to the publishers for recognizing the significance of these world class materials
and sending them to press." --Amy Hilgemann, Ph.D., Executive Director, Behavioral Health Alternatives, Madison County,
Illinois.
I passed with a 138 (93 was passing for the NCE
and 91 for the NCMHCE) with 90% on appraisal and 82% on research and program evaluation. The mean was 111.08, so I am jazzed.
Again, thank you for your tapes and the ENCYCLOPEDIA. Your organization and style worked for me. --Barbara Alexander
"I was amazed how much I enjoyed your audio lectures and questions
helped me even though I don't think of myself as an auditory learner. Your book too . . . you come across like a real
person making sense out of a lot of fragmented data. I love your memory devices. Wish I had been in some of your classes.
You sound much more like what I hoped school to be than what I experienced." UPDATE- "Just wanted you to know that
I scored 149 on my test with a required 90 to pass. I can't tell you how much your tapes and book helped me. You made
sense in ways that no one else did! In addition the Licensure Review ( www.licensure.com) also helped me." --Phyllis
Phillips
"Again, Dr. Rosenthal, please accept my sincere
thanks for your contribution to our profession. You have a great wit and a gift of communication. It is wonderful that you
are using your talents to give to others." --Pat Jessie
"I
would like to thank you for such a great resource. I purchased the ____ study booklet which was no help at all. The Rosenthal
study packet (the Encyclopedia and the audio tapes) made it easy for me to study and gave me confidence when taking the exam.
The study tips worked and the section on test anxiety helped my test taking ability. On October 21st I took the exam. I received
the results 24 November and have not stopped smiling yet. Yes the exam was difficult, but with this study aid I was able to
score high and pass the exam. Thank you Dr. Rosenthal. I highly recommend this study packet for anyone taking the National
Counselor Examination for Certification and Licensure." --Gladys Smith, M.Ed., NCC, CSACII, NCACII
"Howard, with the use of your study materials I passed the NCE with 20 points
to spare. The alternative nomenclature you referenced was great. I believe this exam edition had all of them, many I would
not have known. Your materials are a must buy in my opinion." --Jim Blackburn, M.A., LPC
"I recently took the NCE. One of my instructors at Webster University whom I greatly admire and
respect, Jan Klein, suggested that we use your book as our study guide for the exam. I was somewhat reticent to believe this
was all I needed. What a colossal misconception! It was as though you were sitting there guiding me through the exam. Thank
you for writing such a helpful, well-written, understandable book. Your book was an invaluable tool in preparing for the test.
I will continue to recommend this book as an "all you need study tool." I look forward to reading your book on suicide."
--Mary Jo Gilliland
"I PASSED!!!! I just received
my results this morning. All I did was listen to your tapes . . . never cracked a book. Thanks!" --Judith A. Snead
"I passed! Thank you so much! This is my third time setting
for the exam. I tried this expensive long boring book called the ___________. I must have read this book eight times, all
600 pages. The computer program never did work and the tapes . . . were poor compared to your audio materials. After I flunked
the first time I called them and they told me I would have to pay again for the next computer program. For the second test
I found a computer program from the state of ____ with a study guide from _______. Then for the third time I used your study
material. It was easy to read and fun to work with. I did not feel like I was being punished with hundreds of hours of review
for the test. You were easy to work with . . . I studied your material by itself for about two months and passed. This is
fantastic because I have a learning disability. Thanks again." --Bill Petty, Phoenix, AZ
"I thank God for your study materials. My testimonial to your material will always share a special
place in my heart. Please use my name. Thank you for all your moral support. I passed the Praxis Exam. Your audio study guides,
book, and email messages helped me to pass. This has been a long journey and I am excited about passing the Praxis Exam."
Loretta Harper "(Note: Although Dr. Rosenthal would never recommend his materials as the sole means of study for other
exams such as the Praxis, Psychology, Social Work, or Marriage and Family, he routinely gets testimonials such as this. We
have no doubt that his materials make a suberb supplement to books and programs that are specifically designed for other licensing
and certification tests.)"
"Yes, I passed! Your
book and your SUPER REVIEW BOOTCAMP were of great assistance. Thank you for all your efforts, including the rush mailing of
the review . . . after the 2 hour drive to the testing center even my wife and daughter said they were ready for the test
by the time we got there. Although, to be honest, they didn't seem to appreciate listening to it over and over as much
as I did. Some people. And thanks to your other book (Before You See Your First Client) I'll be better prepared as a counselor
. . . certainly it needed to be written. Although I'm sure you're already swimming in good karma, best wishes. Sincerely,

I
am 48 years old and I have been finished with my academic work at school since 1994. Since graduation, I had 2 children and
I stayed home with them until they were of school age. When they started school, I went back to complete my internship hours
and exam for LPC. Before taking the exam, I did a review workshop. I studied and failed the exam. I was very discouraged,
to say the least. I did not know what to do because I did not know of anyone who could help me (I have been out of school
since 1994 and not in contact with any of my teachers or peers). I decided to do the same review again, in hopes of gaining
more knowledge on how to take this LPC test. Well, it wasn't the review material that gave me the knowledge of how to
take the test, it was the person behind me who had Dr. Rosenthal's Book, The Encyclopedia of Counseling: Master Review
and Tutorial for the NCE and State Counseling Exams. Now, I knew the real reason why I was suppose to be at the review for
the second time.........I started reading Dr. Rosenthal's Book and I was immediately convinced that he understood my situation
(When NO ONE ELSE AROUND ME DID). I contacted Dr. Rosenthal and I was amazed how we connected so quickly. I needed to hear
that he was going to get me through this and by the end of our conversation, I truly believed that I could do this. After
reading his book and listening to his tapes, including the test anxiety tape, I felt truly ready (not just hoping to be ready)
to take the test. I took my test on April 5, 2003. I finished 1 hour earlier than expected and I PASSED. I never felt better
about myself. Thank-you Dr. Rosenthal and the rest is beyond words. I can't begin to express all of my sincere appreciation.
P.S. Just to let you know, ever since I passed my exam, I have been asked to speak to an intern group, from the university
I went to 9 years ago. The professor asked me to talk about Dr. Rosenthal's Book and Tapes.............. I can't wait
to share my knowledge and experience of Dr. Rosenthal. Warmly, Maria Zeitz, RN, LPC
Dear Dr. Rosenthal:
I just received notice
that I PASSED the NCE. Your book was a great help. I graduated from Western Connecticut State University in 2001 but because
of a busy schedule at work, I postponed taking the test. As an author I appreciate the time and effort you took to develop
an effective tool to help graduates continue with their chosen profession. I know that getting feedback from your readers
and students is the best gift for a teacher and author. Just wanted to send you another testimonial. Keep up the good work
and thanks. Ruth Cantor, Author of Parents Guide to Special Needs Schooling
Dear Dr. Rosenthal, I bought your books and audio study guide sometime last winter . . . I just wanted to
tell you that I passed the NCE . . . I am so grateful that a friend of mine, who passed her exam the previous October, advised
me to buy your study guide. Now I can return the favor. I have recommended your books and tapes to all of my friends who will
be taking the exam next October. I believe that your study material covers everything that it takes to pass the exam. Thank
you so much for caring enough to put together such a great package. It works. Susan Russo

Dear
Dr. Rosenthal,Help! I think I'm a Rosenthal junkie. Seriously, I believe I own every book and audio tape or CD you have
ever authored! I love your licensing materials, especially your Boot Camp Super Review. Your lively style is in a class by
itself. I eagerly await your articles in COUNSELOR MAGAZINE . . . totally creative. We never know what you'll say next.
Entertaining and always valuable. Also, I know you've heard this a thousand times but your FAVORITE COUNSELING AND THERAPY

of new techniques to use in their practice. How did you get so many famous therapists to contribute? You're the man! Mitch

I am writing to say THANK
YOU for providing the study materials that allowed me to take and pass the National Counselor Exam. I used your book and tapes.
The exam was still a challenge, but I was able to pass it on my 1st try. I scored 124 points . . . the standard was 97. Please
feel free to use me as a reference. Again, thanks for creating these study devices. They work. Brent Snipes
Hi Dr. Rosenthal, Please feel free to use my testimonial! There is no doubt
in my mind that your program works; I would willingly and openly expound to any skeptical individuals. The results for the
exam arrived and I PASSED! I scored 126. Your study material covers all relevant areas of knowledge required for the test
in a lucid, organized format. In fact, your book, Encyclopedia of Counseling, will remain on my bookshelf as a valuable reference
source. Dr. Rosenthal, thank you for sharing such clarity, patience and humor. Your contribution to the field of counseling
is a consequential accomplishment. Renee Mullen
Hi Dr.
Rosenthal, Happy to say, I passed the NCE. Your study guide was so comprehensive and thorough. Words cannot really express
my gratitude to your Stealth Package Program, which is truly the very best out there! I learned about topics/theories not
covered in graduate school. I am very grateful to you! Thanks again. Sharon H. Harrell, Ms.Ed. Board Eligible NCC Clinical

Most important
for you to know is that I just received an A on a paper. That Dictionary of Human Services is a piece of gold. For me, the

so wonderful Howard . . . -- Flora Fazio, Winner of the 2003 National Organization for Human Service Education (NOHSE) Student

Dear Dr. Rosenthal: Just want you to know that I
used your audio program and book to prepare for the NCE. I received my results and passed with 140 out of 160 for my total
score. Most of my course work was taken in the 80's so I had a lot of brushing up to do. Joan M. DiProspere, MS/CIT
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful study guides for the
NCE. I bought the book and the tapes and together they helped me pass my exam the first time. By the way, I have been out
of grad school for 20 years. Thanks again for the great help your book and tapes were to me. Thank you, Gary W. Smith, Ph.D.,

John Moore in Chicago again. After reading the Encyclopedia
for my exam on April 20th, I treated myself to the homework book that you authored. What a wonderful book! I will begin to
use this with my clients soon. John D. Moore, MS, CADC American Military University, Author of Confusing Love With Obsession
Dr. Rosenthal, I just wanted to add my thanks to your long list of
grateful counselors for helping me pass the National Counselor Exam. Your materials were excellent and I truly thank you for
taking time to produce such excellent study books and tapes. Perhaps just as important as the material you so thoroughly reviewed,
were the words of encouragement in your book and tapes. Thank you again! Susan Debell, RN, Ph.D., NCC
Thanks again and I hope your birds, that were on one of the CD’s, pass the
test soon as well!!
Follow your dreams!
Frank Coulson
"To
all who are preparing for the National Counselor Exam, you do not need to look any further than Dr. Rosenthal's website.
As you prepare for the NCE, I HIGHLY suggest the 'Valedictorian Package' from Dr. Rosenthal. My advice: (1) Start
studying at least 6 months in advance, as there is a lot of material to cover; (2) Spend equal time on all subjects as the
NCE changes each time and you never know what material they will focus heavily on; and (3) Read Dr. Rosenthal's 'Encyclopedia
of Counseling' AND listen to his CD's and you WILL pass the NCE. I am living proof that if you take the time everyday
to study, using Dr. Rosenthal's study materials, you will be successful in passing the NCE. Dr. Rosenthal's NCE study
materials are THE best return on your investment. I passed the NCE and so can you!"
Suzanne Moravick, LPC

Hello,
I
just wanted to let you know I received my results from the October NCE exam a few days ago.
I scored 138! Your audio program was a big help,
Thanks
again,
Debi Bonine-Giles
A friend in my neighborhood introduced me to Dr. Rosenthal's book about 3 months before the exam.
Soon after, I ordered the audio series as well. As I listened and read the book, I felt that I was really learning the
fundamentals of what I needed to know-from Freud's stages to the work of Piaget, it was all making sense using your materials.
Also, I loved your memory devices. For example, I saw a question on the exam that used Super and Self Concept in the
same question and I knew the answer! Thanks again Dr. Rosenthal.
God's best to you and yours,
Chris McDuffie,
MA, LAPC
Hi Dr. Rosenthal,
In December, I ordered your set of 15 cassette tapes to review for the exit exam that I take
in order to obtain my Master's degree in Counselor Education. I also purchased your book about test preparation
and 1,000 review questions. I found both of the materials to be very helpful. I also get to say, "I passed!"
Your materials were a wonderful review for me. I am so thankful that I was able to find out about your resources.
Sincerely,
Ellen Carter Smith
Hi Dr. Rosenthal,
I took the CPCE last week, (which Liberty University uses as
their
comprehensive exam), and used your material to study. I
spent weeks
listening to the audio CD's while I was driving
and even got a portable CD
player to listen when I was walking
or working in the yard. I passed with a
very high score. Thank
you very much for your help. I will be taking my
state licensure
exam now and I am very confident that I will pass that also.
You
are doing a great service to students who are anxious about the test.
Thanks
again.
Chet Fowler
I wanted to say thanks for helping me pass the exam. I ordered the book, audio program, and test anxiety
CD. All great and very useful. I switched careers from business to counseling. My post graduate work for the last two years
has been organizational counseling, and I was rusty on a great deal of what I had learned in school. I received the material
in February and took the exam in April. Not only did I pass, I scored very high. I decided to take the NCE and NCHME on the
same day so the pressure was on. I know I wouldn't have been able to do it without your material. However, the thing that
stood out to me was when you signed the copy of "Before you see your first client… "Best Wishes". That
was really encouraging.
Thanks again,
Jack Smith, LCPC
Dr
Rosenthal,
I have been waiting with great anticipation
for my results after taking my exam on 4/19. Well, you did it again. I passed!! Your material allowed me
to be totally prepared for the test. After reading through and answering the exhausting 1000 questions in your book,
combined with listening to the audio materials, sitting down and looking at the test booklet seemed like a breeze. And
the Super Review was, well, SUPER. I listened to it two days before, the day before and driving to the test. I
never got to listen to the anxiety reducing CD because frankly, I felt so prepared, I wasn't anxious. After being
out of school for several years, your material was what saved me. Thank you!!
Geoff
Dr. Rosenthal - I passed
the NCE on the first try, thanks to your book,
"The Encyclopedia
of Counseling". Your book was a thorough
preparation
for the test. I needed a refresher because I completed graduate school in 1989. I have worked as a counselor
since then but forgot some of the names and details of theories. Your book helped me get the necessary tune-up for the
test. I bought some other really dry materials and quickly disgarded them
when I found inaccuarcies. THANK YOU for created a system that allowed me
to pass a difficult test, 16 years after graduate school.
Sincerely, Marty Garrigues, M.S., NCC
I
know that you must get many emails from people who have used your study materials but I want to add just one more. I just
passed LPC exam in Texas! It does feel good to say I PASSED! I had been using other study materials and having a difficult
time retaining all the information. Your relaxed approached sprinkled with humor was what I needed to put the pieces together.
The study time went by fast and did not seem like work but more like a challenge. The audio materials were easy to use, I
used the tapes whenever I had 15 or 20 minutes or on long trips in the car. Thanks again! Glenda Collins-- Odessa, Texas.
Dear Dr. Rosenthal:
Just a note to let you know I got my NCE scores today from the October 23rd, 2004 exam. My score was 130 with
93 needed to pass. Thank you so much for making such excellent products. I would have gone nuts trying to study all that material
without your concise, effective review book and tapes. Your book and audio program are the absolute best study materials for
the NCE on the market, bar none. Your other materials are also top shelf. I wish you and yours a blessed Christmas and a very
Happy New Year. Carlton Lewis
Dr. Rosenthal, I used your
book and audio materials to score 143 out of 160 on the NCE! Just wanted to express my appreciation. Thanks. Brad Sears
Dear Dr. Rosenthal, I just passed the Texas LPC exam. It would be
my pleasure to testify for you your great help in passing the Texas LPC exam. I did not attend any workshops. I used your
materials and my text books. I had been listening to the tapes on my way to work and solving the problems from the Encyclopedia
of Counseling in the evening. I studied as faithfully as humanly possible. The Texas exam has a part for abnormal psychology,
and that was not a part of your material. The exam was on computer. It was 224 questions to be answered in 240 minutes. I
finished the 224 questions in 195. I knew the result immediately after the test. Definitely knowing your material like the
back of my hand made the test a breeze. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Salwa Hanna, M.Ed.
Hi Dr. Rosenthal, First of all, I hope you are having a happy holiday season. I would also like to
tell you that because of you I have passed the LPC without difficulty. After I acquired your study guides I simply tossed
the other three I had. I highly recommend yours as a single source. I have also bought various books of yours as a reference
for counseling my clients. All of your books are to the point without mumbo jumbo. Thank you. Tess Myers
I just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" for your audio prep package and
Encyclopedia. They were the only prep materials I used and I PASSED the NCE the first try! I will be recommending your materials
to everyone. I could not have passed the exam without your materials. The content was much stronger than my graduate program!
Thank you! James C. Farris Red Banks, MS
Dr. Rosenthal,
I have enjoyed your tapes so much. I like your sense of humor along with your kindness and gentleness. It's like sitting
in my living room and having a chat with you. Fran Mastroianni
Dear
Dr. Rosenthal, Thank you for being a caring person who is not just out to make a buck. As you know, my daughter Tiana's
house burned to the ground and she lost everything. It was terrible. No insurance. Money was tight and she was out of work.
She needed her counseling license to get a job. You may recall that I e-mailed you and shared the situation. You told me not
to worry and told me that you would loan her the materials free of charge. Tiana was excited. I feel guilty admitting this
to you but I told her not to get too excited. People promise stuff all the time and never keep their promises. Tiana and I
have had a lot of disappointments in our lives. Truthfully, I have never heard of a company doing anything like that and I
figured you wouldn't either. We both had tears in our eyes the next day when we received your Valedictorian Master Course.
You even sent it by express UPS. Tiana is now a licensed counselor thanks to your generosity. Yes, you have genuinely touched
our lives in a very special way. Unfortunately you probably won't be able to put this e-mail on your web pages because
you couldn't stay in business if you gave your materials out for free to everyone who needed your programs and books.
Bless you. Ida Williams
"Dr. Rosenthal, You are an
angel! Thank you so much for your help. You became part of my life for five months. After a while you were my friend, a mentor,
or like my father chastising me to rest if I was tired, sending me to drink (nonalcoholic, of course) after the mini review
(the Boot Camp). I could go on for all the times you had me cracking up, laughing because of your comments and memory devices.
What' I'm trying to say is that I'm so happy I do not know what to say. THANK YOU . . . THANK YOU . . . THANK
YOU. I did not pass the first time. I had a boring, long and tedious study guide that obviously did not help. I do believe
your book and audio programs were the key to my success. " Yours in Certified Counseling (ja!ja!ja!), Gloria J. Rodriguez-Ransom
"I did poorly in statistics when I was in graduate school, however,
your materials helped me do very well on the new NCE statistics questions. Your materials are terrific . . . lively and easy
to understand! Thank you!" --Sandy Camp-Schneifield, M.A., LPC
"I highly recommend Dr. Rosenthal's licensing exam prep materials to students in my graduate counseling
courses . . . includes materials seldom covered in courses." -- Dr. Arthur C. Myers, Private Practice and Adjunct Professor
of Counseling
"I bought your audio prep package and
the Encyclopedia of Counseling earlier this year. I took the new NCE and passed! . . . the memory devices are fun! Thank you
for your enjoyable speaking style. I couldn't have passed without you. (Score was 125 . . . not far off the maximum in
some areas.) " --Carol Curran, M.A. Licensed Mental Health Practitioner, Norfolk, Nebraska
"A worthwhile investment for those of us who need to take licensure exams. It [Encyclopedia of

Make Yourself Miserable About AnyThing - Yes Anything.
"It
seems an understatement to say that your audio study guides were an asset in helping me pass the exam. Thanks!" --Joan
Schmeckebier, LPC
"I passed the new National Counselor
Exam. Your text and tapes were worth every penny, as I felt confident going into the test and well surpassed the minimum cut-off
score. I used the tapes extensively in the car. Your presentation was excellent. I wish I had the opportunity to have had
you as my professor." -- Ken Zelinski
" After
reading everything and anything on the subject of suicide . . . your book Not With My Life I Don't is in my opinion the
best work of its kind available. " -- Ray Fabing Pastor
"Hi
Dr. Rosenthal . . . I just received my NCE test results . . . 93% correct! Since the passing rate in my state is only 61%,
that was really a nice margin. . . . " -- Janet Scarborough
"Thank
you for saving my son's life . . . your Help Yourself to Positive Mental Health book is truly wonderful. I just wanted
to thank you and your co-author Dr. Joseph Hollis.-- Betty Ansen Parent/Middle School Teacher
"I'm sure that you have heard this many times, but . . . Thank you. I passed the NCE and now
hold my LPC. I couldn't have done it without your study guide and tapes. Thanks so very much!!!" --Debra J. Moore,
LPC, Assistant Director, Counseling and Testing, Albany State University
"I hate to admit this but I learned more about "the real world of helping" from your excellent
little book Before You See Your First Client, 55 Things Counselors and Human Service Workers Need to Know , than I did from
my entire graduate program. And yes I am using your advice to secure free ethical advertising and to open a 100% risk-free
private practice. What can I say but thanks. " -- Bret Hanson, Psy.D.
"The results are in! I passed the Licensure Exam with flying colors! How did I study? I read Howard
Rosenthal's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COUNSELING and listened to his great study tapes!! Got the results I wanted thanks to Howard
Rosenthal." --Susie Herman, St. Louis Community College
"Excellent
. . . Dr. Rosenthal's book [NOT WITH MY LIFE I DON'T]and video [SUICIDE PREVENTION STRATEGIES THAT WORK] are important
contributions to the field of suicidology. I have recommended them everywhere I go, and use them for training and workshops
I conduct in a two state area. Hats off to the publishers for recognizing the significance of these world class materials
and sending them to press." --Amy Hilgemann, Ph.D., Executive Director, Behavioral Health Alternatives, Madison County,
Illinois.
I passed with a 138 (93 was passing for the NCE
and 91 for the NCMHCE) with 90% on appraisal and 82% on research and program evaluation. The mean was 111.08, so I am jazzed.
Again, thank you for your tapes and the ENCYCLOPEDIA. Your organization and style worked for me. --Barbara Alexander
"I was amazed how much I enjoyed your audio lectures and questions
helped me even though I don't think of myself as an auditory learner. Your book too . . . you come across like a real
person making sense out of a lot of fragmented data. I love your memory devices. Wish I had been in some of your classes.
You sound much more like what I hoped school to be than what I experienced." UPDATE- "Just wanted you to know that
I scored 149 on my test with a required 90 to pass. I can't tell you how much your tapes and book helped me. You made
sense in ways that no one else did! In addition the Licensure Review ( www.licensure.com) also helped me." --Phyllis
Phillips
"Again, Dr. Rosenthal, please accept my sincere
thanks for your contribution to our profession. You have a great wit and a gift of communication. It is wonderful that you
are using your talents to give to others." --Pat Jessie
"I
would like to thank you for such a great resource. I purchased the ____ study booklet which was no help at all. The Rosenthal
study packet (the Encyclopedia and the audio tapes) made it easy for me to study and gave me confidence when taking the exam.
The study tips worked and the section on test anxiety helped my test taking ability. On October 21st I took the exam. I received
the results 24 November and have not stopped smiling yet. Yes the exam was difficult, but with this study aid I was able to
score high and pass the exam. Thank you Dr. Rosenthal. I highly recommend this study packet for anyone taking the National
Counselor Examination for Certification and Licensure." --Gladys Smith, M.Ed., NCC, CSACII, NCACII
"Howard, with the use of your study materials I passed the NCE with 20 points
to spare. The alternative nomenclature you referenced was great. I believe this exam edition had all of them, many I would
not have known. Your materials are a must buy in my opinion." --Jim Blackburn, M.A., LPC
"I recently took the NCE. One of my instructors at Webster University whom I greatly admire and
respect, Jan Klein, suggested that we use your book as our study guide for the exam. I was somewhat reticent to believe this
was all I needed. What a colossal misconception! It was as though you were sitting there guiding me through the exam. Thank
you for writing such a helpful, well-written, understandable book. Your book was an invaluable tool in preparing for the test.
I will continue to recommend this book as an "all you need study tool." I look forward to reading your book on suicide."
--Mary Jo Gilliland
"I PASSED!!!! I just received
my results this morning. All I did was listen to your tapes . . . never cracked a book. Thanks!" --Judith A. Snead
"I passed! Thank you so much! This is my third time setting
for the exam. I tried this expensive long boring book called the ___________. I must have read this book eight times, all
600 pages. The computer program never did work and the tapes . . . were poor compared to your audio materials. After I flunked
the first time I called them and they told me I would have to pay again for the next computer program. For the second test
I found a computer program from the state of ____ with a study guide from _______. Then for the third time I used your study
material. It was easy to read and fun to work with. I did not feel like I was being punished with hundreds of hours of review
for the test. You were easy to work with . . . I studied your material by itself for about two months and passed. This is
fantastic because I have a learning disability. Thanks again." --Bill Petty, Phoenix, AZ
"I thank God for your study materials. My testimonial to your material will always share a special
place in my heart. Please use my name. Thank you for all your moral support. I passed the Praxis Exam. Your audio study guides,
book, and email messages helped me to pass. This has been a long journey and I am excited about passing the Praxis Exam."

of new techniques to use in their practice. How did you get so many famous therapists to contribute? You're the man! Mitch
Kaplan, M.Ed., Private Practice
I am writing to say THANK
YOU for providing the study materials that allowed me to take and pass the National Counselor Exam. I used your book and tapes.
The exam was still a challenge, but I was able to pass it on my 1st try. I scored 124 points . . . the standard was 97. Please
feel free to use me as a reference. Again, thanks for creating these study devices. They work. Brent Snipes
Hi Dr. Rosenthal, Please feel free to use my testimonial! There is no doubt
in my mind that your program works; I would willingly and openly expound to any skeptical individuals. The results for the
exam arrived and I PASSED! I scored 126. Your study material covers all relevant areas of knowledge required for the test
in a lucid, organized format. In fact, your book, Encyclopedia of Counseling, will remain on my bookshelf as a valuable reference
source. Dr. Rosenthal, thank you for sharing such clarity, patience and humor. Your contribution to the field of counseling
is a consequential accomplishment. Renee Mullen
Hi Dr.
Rosenthal, Happy to say, I passed the NCE. Your study guide was so comprehensive and thorough. Words cannot really express
my gratitude to your Stealth Package Program, which is truly the very best out there! I learned about topics/theories not
covered in graduate school. I am very grateful to you! Thanks again. Sharon H. Harrell, Ms.Ed. Board Eligible NCC Clinical
Service Coordinator Child Mental Health
Most important
for you to know is that I just received an A on a paper. That Dictionary of Human Services is a piece of gold. For me, the
dictionary redefines topics, terms, and other things. It enables me to present things from my own perspective. You are just
so wonderful Howard . . . -- Flora Fazio, Winner of the 2003 National Organization for Human Service Education (NOHSE) Student
Award
Dear Dr. Rosenthal: Just want you to know that I
used your audio program and book to prepare for the NCE. I received my results and passed with 140 out of 160 for my total
score. Most of my course work was taken in the 80's so I had a lot of brushing up to do. Joan M. DiProspere, MS/CIT
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful study guides for the
NCE. I bought the book and the tapes and together they helped me pass my exam the first time. By the way, I have been out
of grad school for 20 years. Thanks again for the great help your book and tapes were to me. Thank you, Gary W. Smith, Ph.D.,
LPC
John Moore in Chicago again. After reading the Encyclopedia
for my exam on April 20th, I treated myself to the homework book that you authored. What a wonderful book! I will begin to
use this with my clients soon. John D. Moore, MS, CADC American Military University, Author of Confusing Love With Obsession
Dr. Rosenthal, I just wanted to add my thanks to your long list of
grateful counselors for helping me pass the National Counselor Exam. Your materials were excellent and I truly thank you for
taking time to produce such excellent study books and tapes. Perhaps just as important as the material you so thoroughly reviewed,
were the words of encouragement in your book and tapes. Thank you again! Susan Debell, RN, Ph.D., NCC
