Until recently, Dr. Simon maintained an active private practice dedicated to assisting individuals develop character. In addition to providing psychotherapy services to persons interested in character development, he specialized in comprehensive personality assessments, mental health professional training, consultations to businesses and organizations, and support services to individuals in relationships with problem characters.

Dr. Simon recently retired as a supervising psychologist for the Arkansas Dept. of Correction. For 6 years he provided clinical oversight to the community risk assessment program for registered sex offenders, and more recently provided similar oversight for the newly expanded and re-vamped prison-based sex offender treatment program. He has given numerous workshops on the various sex offender typologies and offender treatment and management strategies. He helped secure a DOJ grant through Center for Sex Offender Management, and is a member of the grant’s standing committee.

Perhaps one of his proudest achievements, Dr. Simon is also the principal composer of Anthem for the Millennium (America, My Home!). The song gained popularity when a regional television station paired it with a video montage after the 9-11 attacks.  It has now been performed live to audiences totaling over one million.  You can see and hear for yourself the power of the song to inspire pride and love of country by clicking on the link below to a video of a live performance of the song by Country Music Showdown National Champion Ricky David Tripp in October, 2001.

Dr. Simon served for several years on the Arkansas Governor’s Commission on Domestic Abuse, Rape and Violence, is a past President of the Arkansas Psychological Association, and is Board Certified in Forensic and Clinical Psychology (ACFEI). He is married to Dr. Sherry Simon, a veteran independent practitioner, has two sons, Adam and Christopher, and recently became a proud grandfather for the first time.

SPECIAL NOTE: IT WAS RECENTLY LEARNED THAT AMAZON.COM HAD ERRONEOUSLY LISTED THE ANTHEMS FOR THE MILLENNIUM CD AS NOT ONLY OUT OF STOCK BUT ALSO DISCONTINUED.  THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED AND THE CD IS NOW READILY AVAILABLE.
