Jack Delbert Simons (born December 5, 1977) is an Assistant Professor of School Counseling at Mercy College. He lives in New York and Arizona. His work is both quantitative and qualitative, with attention to Social Psychology and Feminism in School Counseling. This work often begins with school or community interviews. Simons has published in academic journals and has been interviewed on a range of subjects, including the experiences of lesbian, gay, and bisexual people;[1] and the linguistic intelligence of teachers who teach ESL students.[2] Academically, he is most known for his paper on Counseling in the Czech Republic, which was written with Brian Hutchison and Zuzana Baštecká.[3] It addresses the relationship between the fields of psychology and counseling and highlights concerns related to the assessment of Romani people. Simons received the 2015 Western Association for Counselor Education and Supervision Research Award for this work. A subsequent writing in Counseling Around the World expands on it.[4]
