About the Presenter

Sharon Watson is an LPC, LMFT, LSATP, NCC, and an ACS (Approved Clinical Supervisor).  She worked for the Fairfax County CSB for 18 years in the partial hospitalization program, the assessment program, and as a senior clinician and team leader in adult services.  She worked concurrently in private practice at In Step for 12 years leading parenting groups and children’s groups. Sharon has been supervising residents since 1994 and is currently providing virtual supervision, consulting on supervision issues for residents and supervisors, as well as providing her 20-hour Clinical Supervision training.  Sharon’s training style is an interactive, experiential virtual presentation that mimics an in-person training format because she encourages comments, questions, and interaction between the participants themselves. Sharon has offered this training since 2009, so she has trained many clinicians to be supervisors.   In pursuit of perfecting this training she has taken over 100 hours of clinical supervision training herself. Sharon has volunteered for NVLPC as the Supervision Chair for 10 years and as the Advocacy & Education Director for 3 years and contributes to our NVLPC newsletter with her Supervision Corner and Advocacy and Education Corner articles. 

NVLPC has been approved by NBCC as a Approved Continuing Education provider, ACEP No. 6130.  Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified.  NVLPC is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs.
