Simon has been an integral part of our team since October 2020 when he joined us as a residential support staff. With his exceptional dedication and commitment, Simon quickly established himself as a valuable team member. In April 2022, he transitioned into his current role as an admissions advisor, leveraging his experience and compassion to assist clients and their families from the moment they embark on their treatment journey. Hailing from San Diego, Simon’s passion for mental health began during his undergraduate years, where he pursued a degree in clinical psychology. After obtaining his BA, Simon applied his knowledge and skills as a behavior technician, effectively utilizing behavioral and cognitive studies to make a positive impact. Notably, Simon was part of a research initiative consisting of a team of five students who successfully introduced mindfulness practices into a Pomona school system plagued by delinquency and suspension. Through their dedication to positive psychology, they developed a curriculum that helped alleviate the prevailing issues at the time. Simon’s journey at BrightQuest has been marked by his growth and unwavering dedication to our clients and their families. While fulfilling his role as an admissions advisor, he provides compassionate support and guidance, drawing on his extensive experience and genuine care. Recognizing the importance of ongoing professional development, Simon is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. This pursuit reflects his desire to fulfill his dreams of becoming a therapist and further contribute to the field of mental health.
Outside of his work, Simon values quality time spent with family and friends. He also nurtures his passions for reading, writing, and fitness, recognizing the importance of maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
