Member benefits

NVLPC offers monthly luncheon seminars from September through June in Vienna and Sterling. The topics are relevant to areas of professional development and current clinical issues. Presenters are recognized regionally and nationally in the mental health field and attendees receive a certificate with CEUs.
These offer an opportunity for LPCs to acquire specific knowledge and skill development and may also support them in obtaining the necessary CEUs to maintain licensure. These opportunities also utilize expertise of clinicians in these areas.
NVLPC offers the opportunity to serve and give back to the organization and the community with positions available on more than 15 committees. Serving on a committee is an excellent way to network with other LPCs, and to use your gifts and skills in a professional organization dedicated to Northern Virginia LPCs. As a benefit for serving, committee members earn CEUs each year.
