The community, strategy, and structure therapists and clinicians need to build profitable, sustainable private practices โ without platforms, without burnout, without doing it alone.

Lead. Heal. Elevate.
Private practice is isolating by design โ and that isolation keeps clinicians stuck. You need a room full of people who understand the billing, the burnout, the platforms, and the vision โ building right alongside you.
There's no one-size-fits-all path. Whether you're building your foundation, scaling past the income ceiling, or leading a growing team โ the strategy has to match where you actually are. Specific strategy gets you moving.
Strategy without implementation is just a good idea you never acted on. Boss Clinician delivers live coaching, done-for-you resources, monthly growth kits, and a mastermind for group practice owners โ so the work gets done.
You built your practice to create freedom.
So why does it still feel like you work for someone else?
Platforms take their cut. Insurance dictates your rates. You're the clinician, the marketer, the admin, and the CEO โ all at once. And nobody taught you how to do any of that.
Whether you're just getting started, completely maxed out, or running a team that's running you โ the answer is the same: structure, strategy, and the right community.
A 6-month coaching program for clinicians building from the ground up. Get the structure, tools, and guided strategy to do it right โ without guessing at every step. This is your foundation, your roadmap, and your support system for the first six months.

Apply for the BoardroomI'm Yvette Howard, LCSW โ and my story didn't start in a coaching program. It started in a dialysis clinic, watching patients sit hooked up to machines for hours โ alone, scared, and emotionally drained โ while no one tended to the part of them that hurt the most. They were treated, but they weren't seen.
What struck me most was what those patients kept telling me: they didn't want to see a therapist. Not because they didn't need support โ they desperately did โ but because they didn't believe a therapist would ever truly understand what it meant to live with a serious medical condition. That gap between what they needed and what they trusted enough to access became the foundation of my clinical identity.
In 2018 I started building my private practice while still working at the clinic โ serving clients who looked like my dialysis patients, people navigating the emotional weight of chronic illness who had been underserved by traditional mental health care. By the time I found out I was pregnant in 2019, I had 15 to 20 clients of my own and enough momentum to make the leap. So I left the clinic and went full-time.
As my practice grew, so did I. My niche evolved from medically complex clients to something even closer to my own lived experience โ BIPOC women struggling with self-esteem and relationship issues. Women who had been told their struggles weren't serious enough, or who had never seen themselves reflected in the therapist sitting across from them. That became my work. That became my people.
I pushed to see 25 to 30 clients a week thinking that's what building a real practice required โ and burned out. I tried Talkspace thinking it would help, and instead found myself managing 80 to 100 clients a week, waking up to messages I had to answer in a set window, never fully sure if someone was in crisis. Then I tried Alma for my growing group practice and got more insurance clients instead of the cash pay referrals they promised. I left both.
What I built instead is a multi-six-figure group practice โ on my own terms, with a W2 team, an admin staff, and the freedom to work three days a week. And eventually, Boss Clinician โ the community, strategy, and mastermind I wish I'd had from day one.
When I'm not mentoring clinicians or leading my team, you'll find me sipping iced chai, dancing with my son in the kitchen, or planning my next retreat.

"Yvette is knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the counseling business. With her guidance I'm now 100% in control of my business โ and I finally feel like the CEO I always knew I could be."
"I had a business coaching session with Yvette when I was trying to figure out how to grow into a group practice. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly listen and understand exactly where I was trying to go. She answered all of my questions thoughtfully and offered valuable suggestions that gave me a completely new perspective on what building a group practice could actually look like. I felt completely comfortable being honest about my concerns, and Yvette met me exactly where I was. By the end of our conversation, I felt less fearful and confident enough to move forward. Yvette has a real ability to empower and encourage โ and I'm so grateful for her guidance on this journey."
