Your life has profound meaning and strong sense of purpose, that transcends any limitations experienced or imagined. It is alright, and a sign of strength to ask for help and lean on support. Dr. Simon is always available to help.
I am privileged with close to three decades years experience in the Human Services field: I have worked with individuals on parole and re-entry program; I have worked with Homeless Veterans; I have worked with individuals dealing with HIV/AIDS, and I have also worked with individuals in recovery from addiction, especially those with Co-Occurring Disorder.
I have taught Group Counseling at The College of Saint Rose, Counseling Department in the School of Education. I also taught principles, practices, theories, dynamics, and concepts of family processes and therapy, at the Nursing Department, School of Health Sciences, The Sage College, Troy, New York.
