I am grateful to work with Yvette as she helped me become further independent with my private practice. Yvette has been helpful every step of the way by providing resources for my internal dilemmas, and providing support with video playbacks, and setting goals to help hold me accountable.
Once I got clear on my pricing and structure, I felt like a true CEO. Everything became easier. The clarity alone was worth every penny.
Yvette helped me launch my private practice while I was still working my full-time job โ within a few weeks I was already seeing clients and bringing in consistent extra income.
Hey โ I'm Yvette Howard, LCSW
I'm a Private Practice Strategist, group practice owner, and doctoral candidate โ and I built Boss Clinician because I know firsthand what it feels like to have everything the field told you to have and still feel like something isn't working.
I grew from a solo practitioner to a multi-six-figure group practice owner by learning the hard way that more clients does not equal more freedom. I built systems, raised my rates, hired a team, and created a practice that supports my life instead of consuming it.
Now I help therapists, counselors, nurse practitioners, occupational therapists, and dietitians do the same โ with strategy, structure, and someone fully in their corner.
Every free resource on this page is a piece of what I wish I'd had when I was building. Start where you are. Take what you need. And when you're ready for the full strategy โ I'm here.
You didn't come this far to stay burnt out and underpaid.
Every free resource on this page is a starting point. When you're ready โ apply.
