Meet your presenter
Yvette Howard, LCSW, MSW
Yvette Howard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a group practice owner who built Brighter Tomorrow Therapy from the ground up. She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and is the founder of Boss Clinician, LLC, an NBCC Approved Continuing Education Provider, ACEP No. 7998.
When she opened her own practice, she credentialed herself with panel after panel, convinced she needed to be on every single one to survive. It took time, and it took mistakes, before she learned which panels were actually worth her time and how to move through the process without the guesswork.
As her practice grew, credentialing became one of the first things she handed off. She trained her own admin to run the process from start to finish, and that system is the foundation of what you are learning here.
Now she is handing it to you, so you do not have to pay a credentialing service two hundred dollars or more per panel for a process that comes with no guarantee you will even get approved.
