Sheila Simchon, LSP, LCSW-QS


Hello, and welcome to your journey towards healing and growth. My name is Sheila Simchon, and I am a highly qualified professional, holding dual licenses as both a School Psychologist and a Clinical Social Worker. With dedicated passion, I utilize a comprehensive therapeutic approach aimed at supporting and empowering you in various facets of life, including education, career, and personal growth.


Since 2006, I have been practicing as a School Psychologist with a specialization in Neurodevelopmental Disorders. I am well-versed in conducting comprehensive evaluations which include Specific Learning Disorder (SLD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and giftedness. Additionally, I have received formal training in the administration and interpretation of the ADOS-2, the gold standard for assessing ASD. These evaluations will offer valuable insights into your unique needs, allowing us to create effective interventions and accommodations to support children and adults in advocating for growth and development. I have also played a significant role in sharing my expertise by providing extensive trainings and workshops in New York City and Florida, educating professionals on best practices within the field.


As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a range of therapeutic services, including individual and couples therapy for teens and adults, customized to address the challenges stemming from conditions related to Neurodevelopmental Disorders, which can significantly impact one’s psychological, social, and emotional well-being. Additionally, my expertise allows me to offer specialized support to those struggling with conditions such as depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, and relationship challenges. My approach is tailored to each individual's specific circumstances, recognizing that your experiences and needs are unique. In therapy, we work together to navigate challenges, while fostering personal growth, emotional resilience, and healthier relationships.

What can I expect in my first few sessions with?

We will start by talking about what brought you in and what you’d like to work on. I’ll ask about your history—school, work, relationships, daily routines, past diagnoses, and current challenges.

I’ll also want to understand your strengths, not just your struggles.

We’ll go over how therapy works and set expectations.

What makes you different from other ARNPs?

What sets me apart is that I specialize in understanding the unique ways ADHD, SLD, and autism shape how you think, feel, and move through the world. Many people with neurodevelopmental have been misunderstood, told to “try harder,” or given strategies that don’t actually fit how their brain works. This has contributed to developing other conditions like anxiety and depression. My approach is to do the opposite—I don’t expect you to fit into a box. Instead, I adapt therapy to your style.

What inspired you to become a medication management provider?

When I was younger, I experienced bullying, and it left me feeling isolated and misunderstood. That experience shaped me in a deep way—it made me realize how important it is to feel seen, valued, and supported. I decided I wanted to take that pain and turn it into purpose by helping others feel empowered in their own lives.

Becoming a therapist gave me the opportunity to do exactly that: create a safe, validating space where people can discover their strengths, build resilience, and feel understood for who they truly are.
