Dear Dr. Helwig, I wanted to take a moment to share the exciting news that I’ve officially passed the National Counselor Exam! I owe a huge part of that success to your incredible resources and expertise. As a fellow Coloradan (I like to think there’s something in that mountain air that sharpens our counseling minds), I knew I was in good hands when I picked up your DVD prep and book. I have to say, your book was one of the best resources I used, hands down. The way you broke down complex concepts made them not only understandable but also something I could confidently carry into the exam. You have a real gift for making the material feel approachable without losing any depth. Thank you so much for the dedication you’ve poured into these resources. They truly made a difference in helping me get to this milestone. I couldn’t be more grateful.

Thank you so much, Dr. Helwig, it came today. I am going to be a BIG testimony when I pass that exam and I will in June or July. I’m learning more each time. I’m learning how to slow down and read content correctly. I think because I am a group counselor I took a lot for granted thinking I knew as I have been reviewing. I’m noticing somethings I missed in the group category. Your study guide helped me almost 100%. Thank you again so much Dr. Helwig. You have helped so so many.

I just received my study guide in the mail and I would just love to say thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!! For someone like me that has ADHD and really has a hard time reading books this is going to be a breeze for me. The way you have formatted this book is so genius… the double spacing, the bold print the spiral bound…!! I’m seriously grateful because I was dreading opening the book up and then when I did, I was instantly relieved. I know I will be able to study with this. Keep being great!!

My name is Melena and I am writing from Virginia. I am almost ready to take my NCMHCE/NCE, having studied diligently for the past six months, one common factor in all my study groups has been the consistent use of your study guides. Being highly regarded by many prospective counselors is a significant achievement, but being admired by professional counselors, psychologists, and students alike is truly commendable. Your dedication and investment in the next generation of mental health professionals have not gone unnoticed. Congratulations on your impactful work, and thank you for providing such valuable resources.

Just want to share my gratitude for your study material. I passed my test NCE, studying just with your Spanish version book. My mother wrote you as we were unable to find the updated edition of the book in Spanish. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Giannina from Texas

First of all, thank you for your response to my email. The encouragement you offered kept me from spinning out with anxiety. I used your book and today I made a 126 on my exam. I passed! I am so thankful. I appreciate the helpful study material you have provided. I couldn’t have made it without you.

Hi Dr Helwig. First let me say you are just an open book on helping others. I’m sitting here now viewing you teaching us, and I just want to say thank you on behalf of every present, past, and future counselor. You may vaguely remember me but I am the career test taker in other words. This will be my 8th and final attempt. I have studied, taken group sessions and individual sessions along with your materials, and some others. This time I will have accommodations from my doctor and the board. I can sit and talk with you and anyone intelligent about the material. So, Dr. Helwig, I’m testing again probably late March early April because my window is May. I will let you know immediately on my passing and the score. Again, God richly bless you and your family and also your company. Joeann from North Carolina

I took my CPCE exam for the final time (3rd) and finally passed! I purchased your dvds and book for this attempt, and it worked wonders for me. I tried Rosenthals book the second attempt and got overwhelmed very quickly. Your material was perfect, not overwhelming, and user friendly. Thank you so much! Britni from Texas

Dr. Helwig, thank you for your materials. I used both the study guide and workshop videos. I found Rosenthal’s materials frustrating and overwhelming, whereas your material is concise, clear and straightforward. I took the NCE yesterday and am awaiting the results. I feel that if I had taken the full 8 weeks as you recommended with the material I would have had better results. As it stands now I scored 97. Debra of Arizona

Hi, I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful training material. It has helped me to pass the NCE exam after taking it 3xs. Thanks for making my passion and my career as a therapist be a reality. Alana from Michigan

Dr. Helwig, I could not pass up an opportunity to let you know that I passed the NCE last week.  I know you get a lot of these types of emails. Well, here is why I feel it necessary to share my story. I graduated with my Master’s in Counseling. I had every intention of becoming licensed. Life got in the way every time I tried. Some of the obstacles were pretty traumatic. I ended up becoming an administrator for a social service agency. Here thirty (30) years later (yikes!) I still felt a yearning to fulfill the dream of becoming licensed. After using the pandemic shutdown to take the classes that are now required that were not in 1994, I was approved to sit for the exam. Self-doubt, anxiety, and determination along with your study guide were what assisted me. I purchased a lot of other recommended materials but they did not work for my learning style. Given the mental health crisis and need for more licensed professional counselors, I feel called to help others on their journey to licensure. Thank you! Labrena from New Jersey
