Clinical Directory
What is the purpose of the Clinical Directory?
The Clinical Directory allows members of the NCCBT Network to describe their practices and share information about their professional activities with each other. Only members of the NCCBT Network have access to the directory. This is not a directory accessed by the public.
How do I make changes to my Clinical Directory listing?
After logging into our website, select Profile if you are not already on that page. Then click on the gray button labeled "EDIT PROFILE" and make your changes. See HERE for more details.
How do I use the Clinical Directory to search for providers?
After logging into our website, the Clinical Directory will appear in the main menu. Do a quick search by typing in the name of a therapist you know or selecting the various categories of interest. Go to Advanced Search to do a more detailed search based on every criterion available to search. Click on the clinician whose profile you are interested in viewing. Contact them either by using the button or emailing them directly.
What if I don't want my profile to be listed in the Clinical Directory?
If you do not wish to have your information listed in the private Clinical Directory, click on the "Privacy" link under the "EDIT PROFILE" button, then click "EDIT PROFILE" and uncheck "Show Profile to Others".
I can’t upload my profile picture because it’s too small. What do I do?
The Clinical Directory profiles use common social media image sizes. For profile photos, you’ll get the best results with a square .jpeg format image that’s 110 pixels x 110 pixels. The .png format works, too, though those images tend to be larger file sizes.
My profile link to my website doesn’t work.
If you’ve entered a valid link to a functioning website, please carefully check the url you entered on your profile. In almost every case, users have inadvertently entered a space before, after or between words in the url.
You do not need to enter ‘http://’ or ‘www’ before your url.
If you continue having problems after checking your url for spelling and spaces, please contact us at support@nccbt.net.
How can I change the email address or any information that appears on my Clinical Directory profile?
Log into our website and select your name in the top left or click here to view your profile. Select Edit and change whichever fields you wish to edit.
What if my specialty/languages spoken/insurance accepted, etc., is not listed as a category?
Please email support@nccbt.net if there is a category or selection you think would benefit our membership.
What happens to my listing if I don’t renew my membership with the NCCBT Network?
If you don’t renew your membership by the renewal date, we will remove your listing after 14-days.

Why can't I receive Google Group emails or accept my invitation using my Yahoo, Hushmail, or Outlook email account?
Yahoo, Hushmail, and Outlook accounts may filter or block Google Group emails. Please follow the steps below for your email provider.
Yahoo
Step 1- Add our Google Groups email to your Yahoo Whitelist
- If a message is already in your spam folder, open it and select Not Spam to train Yahoo to accept future emails.
- Add to Contacts:
- Open Yahoo Mail and click the Contacts icon (address book) on the right side.
- Click Add a new contact.
- Enter the Google Group email address (e.g., groupname@googlegroups.com) that was included in your "Welcome to NCCBT" email.
- Click Save.
- Create a Filter (To Inbox):
- Click the Settings gear icon and select More Settings.
- Select Filters.
- Click Add new filters and name it (e.g., "Google Group").
- In the From field, enter the Google Group email address (e.g., groupname@googlegroups.com) that was included in your "Welcome to NCCBT" email.
- Select Inbox as the folder to deliver the email.
- Click Save.
Hushmail
Step 1 – Mark the invitation as Not Spam in Hushmail
Check your Junk folder for the NCCBT Google Group invitation email.
- If you find it there, open it and click Not Spam. This trains Hushmail to deliver future emails from this address to your inbox.
- To confirm the address is not blocked:
- Click the options menu in the upper-right corner of your Hushmail account.
- Select Preferences, then open the Blocked Senders tab.
- If googlegroups.com or the NCCBT Google Group email address (e.g., groupname@googlegroups.com) that was included in your "Welcome to NCCBT" email appears there, remove it.
- Click Save.
Step 1 – Add our Google Groups email to your Outlook Safe Senders list
- If the invitation is in your Junk folder, open it and select Not Junk to help train Outlook's filter.
- To add to Safe Senders:
- Click the Settings gear icon and select View all Outlook settings.
- Select Mail, then Junk email.
- Under Safe senders and domains, click Add.
- Enter googlegroups.com (this will allow all Google Group emails).
- Click Save.
Step 2 – Create a Google account using your existing email address
Google requires a Google account to accept a Google Group invitation. You do not need a Gmail address — you can create a Google account using your existing Yahoo, Hushmail, or Outlook email address.
- If you have an existing Google email address or account, please open an incognito window before you begin this process.
- Go to Google and follow these steps to create an account:
- Enter the information requested for name.
- Enter the information requested for birthdate.
- On screen with different email name options, go to the very bottom and select Use your existing email and enter your email address.
- Confirm your email address by going to your email account and following instructions in the email you receive from Google.
- Email support@nccbt.net to let us know you have completed these steps and we will resend your invitation to the Google Group.

The notification will have a description of the workshop. You will be instructed to go to the website (www.nccbt.net) and click on the link to register where the event is listed. Both the email notification and the website will tell you about the speaker, workshop content, date/time, and available CEUs.

Social Networking Events
Typically, how much do the social networking events cost?These events are usually free because the cost is covered by your membership dues. What is appropriate attire for the social networking events?This varies given the day, time, and location of the event.

This truly depends on the circumstances and the comfort of each individual.
