We were ordered by the courts to complete an assessment for a custody issue, and after reading his reviews, I must say that we were on edge about getting this interview completed and wished that this could just go away. We made it to our appointment a few minutes early, however, we were frustrated due to the other parent intentionally not brining the child to attend with us, so we were worried about how bad that may look for us, as well as not being able to give the Dr. a true evaluation. Dr. Simoneaux and his staff were professional, friendly, and welcoming the moment we walked into his office. Today we received our evaluation; as we had been anxious to receive the results, but I must admit that we are very pleased of the outcome. If you decide to read the reviews, please do not allow this to make you feel discouraged. Dr. Simoneaux was very fair with his analysis and recommendations. I really wish that there were more good reviews about Dr. Simoneaux because they are well deserved.

This man is a waste of space in the psychological community. Made an extremely poor recommendation that was not well thought-out nor did it put what was best for the children as top priority. Instead what was more important to him, apparently, was a clear conscience.

This guy will side with whoever is paying him. If you are in any sort of custody dispute , and you are not the party paying him off, you better have your attorney seek another councilor! I mean check his ratings. This guy is a scam!

Dr. Simoneaux is very fake, unfair, changes his opinions all the time, basically he thinks he is god. He is not someone you want to go to in a custody fight, but we were required to go to him for evaluation of all parties .He spends a couple of hours with you, the reports he gives of those couple hours is unholy unfair. Things like abuse was downplayed as not a big deal bc the father was sorry and promised not to do it again so that made it not a big deal and okay. He is so full of himself that he makes reports include his opinion that changes many times, test results be damn bc he knows more than those test results therefore you should listen to him. He actually sd in court that I should have done what he wanted me to that waiting on the judge decision showed I didn't care about my son bc his word supersedes the judge. He would not accept documentation from us, however he accepted a ton of documentation from my ex that could not even be linked to me. He then wrote his report which was unprofessional stating that it didn't matter that it wasn't from me or that it could not be linked to us in his opinion it would be something he could see us doing therefore he used it as fact in his report. Upon giving a repo, once again his opinion changed. When he was called for trial he completely changed his story, his report results which showed positive results was no longer mattered, saying his opinion which changed drastically over ruled the testing, he added disorders that were proven not to have on reports now he says we are a danger to my child bc my husband who is a genus thinking patterned was not normal, all genus think differently that does not make them a danger. He could not give any reason for these changes nor could he give any reason beyond his thinking pattern was different, he stated he knew more than the test given, every positive thing we had he tried to turn into something bad. Which totally went against the first report and his depo. He stated that we did not test as any danger but he felt we were that not only should I lose my child he didn't even want me to have anything other than supervised visitation even though I have never harmed my child, had been his primary caregiver for 13 years, he was healthy, happy, with no proof myself or my husband had done anything wrong. All bc my husbands thought pattern was different and we should listen to him, what he wanted us to do which was to leave my husband of 11 years who had done nothing but take care of us and love, us even if we could prove him incorrect he did not care it would not change anything. Would stay away from him. Thankfully proof matters to courts and I kept my son.

Dr. Simoneaux only uses test to evaluate patients. His approach is to intimidate people during the interviews process to see if they "crack" The problem is if your basically a normal person who is under high stress and never been to a therapist before you will crack. He really doesn't care about a persons needs just his limited opinion of how people should live their life and he uses techniques aimed at supporting his opinion. He seems to have lost all objectivity as a counselor.
