Our 6th conversation continues the Meet the President Series with the 2023-2024 OCA President––Dr. Sherdene Simpson, Ph.D, LPCC-S, MFT. Dr. Simpson received her masters from Kent State University, doctoral degree from The University of Akron, and is now a faculty member at Florida Gulf Coast University. She has a private practice on the west side of Cleveland. She has been a counselor for sixteen years, approaching her work from a systemic perspective with specialties in grief, relationship issues, and faith-based counseling. During her term as the 2022-2023 OCA President Elect, she served as chair of the OCA’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Cultural Dignity Committee (DEICDC).
