Director of Nursing

Sherri Lee Watson received her Registered Nursing Associates Degree at Del Mar College in 2001. As a graduated nurse her first nursing position was at Spohn Shoreline in Corpus Christi, TX where she worked on the orthopedic floor. She knew she always wanted to work in the field of substance abuse and psychiatry since nursing school, therefore when given the opportunity at Shoreline she did not hesitate.

Scott Kelly

Clinical Director

With over 25 years of dedicated service in Addiction Treatment & Recovery Services, Scott Kelley is a seasoned professional committed to transforming the lives of individuals struggling with substance use disorders. His journey in substance use disorder treatment counseling began with adolescents, where he found his passion for guiding young minds toward recovery. Grounded in his education from Hazelden Addiction Studies and fortified by his Certification as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), Scott embodies a results-driven approach that seamlessly integrates traditional treatment modalities with the latest research-based best practices.

In 2008, Scott pioneered the development of the first short-term chronic relapse program in Texas tailored for adolescents and adults, setting a new standard of care in the field. His visionary approach led him to establish and oversee both short-term and long-term adolescent substance use disorder treatment programs, where he implemented innovative methodologies to foster lasting change. The results from Scott’s efforts led to him receiving the prestigious Terry D. Hale Professional of the Year Award by the Texas Association of Addiction Professionals (TAAP) in 2013, followed by The Mel Schulstad Professional of the Year Award by NAADAC, the association for addiction professionals, in 2014.

While Scott is honored to have been recognized by his peers for his work, his number one goal remains the same: to make a positive impact in the lives of his adolescent patients, and to empower individuals to embark on a journey of recovery and reclaim their lives from the grips of addiction.
