Allyson Regis, PhD
Wellbeing Center Coordinator
Pronouns: She/Her

I'm originally from Queens, New York, and am a recent transplant to Connecticut! I'm a Licensed Psychologist, professor, book author, career coach, and public speaker. I love higher education and have worked in several universities across the Northeast. I began my pursuit of higher education at Stony Brook University where I earned a B.A. with a double major in Psychology and Sociology, and a minor in Business Management. I then went on to earn both my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Fordham University, I love working with students and especially enjoy helping first-generation college students who have difficulty navigating the college environment. My favorite self-care activities are writing, singing, and attempting to paint. (I may not be good at it, but I enjoy it!)

I have been at Southern for 11 years now where I started as an undergraduate student, and then I received my MPH.

Ashley Simon, BA
Graduate Intern
Program: Master of Social Work (MSW) - Clinical Practice concentration
Pronouns: She/They

I received my bachelor's in Psychology with a Concentration in Mental Health from Southern in January 2024 and am currently working towards my master's in Clinical Social Work. My past experience includes working as a Care Coordinator at an inpatient drug rehabilitation facility. I am dedicated to social justice and equity; therefore, I am committed to continuing to live my personal life in accordance with my professional career. With my master's degree, I hope to continue advocating for the welfare of historically victimized communities. I am eager to create treatment plans for clients that analyze their microsystem, mesosystem, and macrosystem in order to understand how barriers impact their behavior and experiences. I am looking forward to learning the tools and knowledge to help Black clients cope with both the barriers designed to oppress our community and the day-to-day struggles we face. My favorite forms of self-care include working out, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family.
