"Lynda Simon-Taylor is a supervisor who challenges you in the best way possible. She has an incredible ability to identify your strengths and gently push you to develop the areas where you need more practice. Her feedback on treatment planning and differentiated diagnosis was always constructive and incredibly detailed. She taught me to see beyond surface-level symptoms and truly understand the complexities of my clients' presentations. The internship wasn't just a requirement; it was a comprehensive learning experience that was perfectly aligned with the NCMHCE's format and content. I am forever grateful for her guidance, which not only helped me earn my LMHC but also shaped me into a more compassionate and competent counselor."

"I can say with certainty that the internship program at Lighthouse was the core reason I passed my NCMHCE. Under Lynda Simon-Taylor's expert supervision, the entire experience was meticulously designed to prepare us for the real world of clinical practice and the demands of the licensing exam. The trainings were particularly strong. I remember a specific series of Assessments trainings where Lynda walked us through complex case studies, forcing us to think through a differentiated diagnosis step-by-step. This training proved to be essential, as it mirrored the exact kind of critical thinking required to ace the NCMHCE's case vignettes. The structure of the program and Lynda's leadership created an environment where we could thrive, learn from our mistakes, and ultimately succeed."

"Working under Lynda Simon-Taylor was an absolute game-changer for my career and my professional development. I came into my internship with a lot of theoretical knowledge but was struggling to bridge the gap to practical application, which is exactly what the NCMHCE tests. Lynda's one-on-one coaching was invaluable. She didn't just tell me what to do; she taught me how to think critically about case scenarios. Her trainings on Proper Documentation and Treatment Planning gave me the confidence to not only write comprehensive, client-centered plans but to do so in a way that met all ethical and legal standards. Thanks to her guidance and patient mentorship, I passed the NCMHCE on my first attempt and feel completely prepared for my role as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor."
