About the NCMHCE Practice Test Handbook
This downloadable handbook includes 5 full-length practice exams (50 total case studies) designed to mirror the structure, pacing, and depth of the actual National Clinical Mental Health Counseling Examination (NCMHCE). Each exam is followed by a detailed answer key that doesn’t just tell you what’s right — it explains why it's right, and just as importantly, why the other options are not. These evidence-based rationales help deepen clinical judgment and sharpen diagnostic clarity. What sets this workbook apart? ✅ Informed by NBCC’s official NCMHCE Content Domains — so nothing gets missed ✅ Created by Dr. Alyson Carr, a licensed counselor, counselor educator, and trauma-informed specialist with years of NCMHCE prep experience ✅ Designed to reduce test anxiety and build confidence through applied learning ✅ Self-paced, self-trusting — study whenever, wherever, as often as you need This isn’t just a study tool. It’s a support system. It’s time to walk into your exam knowing you’re prepared — clinically and emotionally.

What People Are Saying
"I was deep in the ‘I’m never passing this exam’ spiral when I found this handbook. It didn’t talk down to me, it didn’t overwhelm me — it actually made sense. The practice cases are legit, the answer breakdowns are chef’s kiss, and for once, I felt like I wasn’t studying alone."
Almost LMHC
"This handbook was a total game changer for me. The practice exams were structured exactly like the real thing, which helped me walk into test day calm and confident. I didn’t waste time memorizing — I learned how to think like the exam wants me to."
Registered Intern
"I’m the king of overanalyzing everything, and this book helped me stop doing that. The rationales after each case study are gold — they teach you how to slow down, trust your gut, and pick the right answer without second-guessing yourself into a panic spiral."
MA, Counseling Psychology
"I’ve used a lot of prep tools, but this one is by far the most comprehensive and realistic. The cases feel authentic, the pacing mimics the real exam, and the explanations actually teach you how to improve. I’ve been recommending it to everyone in my cohort."
