Bio
Anthony Jean III
I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Dan Fee for over a year at the University of California, San Francisco AIDS Health Project located in downtown San Francisco, California where we both worked as HIV Risk Reduction Counselors. As a HIV Risk Reduction Counselor, Dr. Fee provided client-centered risk-reduction counseling, facilitated the client’s understanding of HIV/AIDS, supported the client in developing a risk-reduction plan, reported testing results, made referrals to community resources, among many other responsibilities. Dr. Fee is a thoughtful, emphatic, committed, patient, and active listener. He deeply cares about empowering his clients with culturally competent strategies most applicable to reducing the risk of HIV infection. Dr. Fee is also a great team player and values an atmosphere of shared learning and progress. Dr. Fee consistently attended and participated in educational workshops and stayed abreast of HIV/AIDS research and resources. In the early stages of my counseling education, I regularly consulted with Dr. Fee for advice on improving my techniques. His advice and mentorship have been essential to my development as a counselor. Having worked with Dr. Fee for over a year, I can testify to his brilliance, hard work ethic, dedication, dynamic personality, and willingness to go above and beyond to meet his client’s needs. These characteristics make Dr. Fee suitable for any work environment, whether academic, corporate, or other. Any employer would be lucky to have him as a member of its team.

Provide direct counseling and case management services to people with opiate dependency histories who are admitted to medication assisted treatment (MAT) per SAMHSA / NIH federal guidelines and California state OTOP guidelines. I am also available for internal staff consults, facilitating groups, and external collateral provider consults as needed. I use a personalized combination of Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral approaches, supplemented as needed in a given instance by other clinical skills from my education/training. (crisis evaluation-intervention, for example) I help people manage access / use of other health, behavioral health and community services using a typical case managing approach. About 80 percent or more of my ongoing caseload is people with co-occurring psychiatric conditions such as major depression disorder, bipolar one and two disorders, generalized anxiety, panic attacks, attention deficit disorder, autism spectrum (usually high functioning area so can participate in verbal counseling), auditory-visual hallucinations-delusional perception-thinking (often controlled by psychiatric meds) , and other life problems or disturbances. Many of the people I help are survivors of moderate to severe adverse childhood events. I attend staff meetings. I keep electronic records on proprietary software as well as executing paper documents from time to time, all in a HIPPA compliant manner. I coordinate with the internal primary care department as needed. I follow all law/ethics for care services. I follow site program requirements. I do continuing professional education to maintain-enhance my skills and credentials.. (For example, I am completing a certificate in trauma informed care at UC, Berkeley with my next aim being to do training so that I can certify in Dialectical Behavior Therapy via the Linahan Institute)

Outpatient counseling to consumers referred/mandated from regional federal probation office. Did intake assessment w clinical evaluation report writing, teamed with federal probation officers to document accountability, consulted about forensic issues w probation officers, focused mainly on consumer's mental health, substance use, and/or vocational/life adjustment issues. All consumers had served significant time in federal prisons, and were now on federal probation. Typical counseling involvements lasted from very brief (two to four weeks), to somewhat longer term (six months). Enacted very practical life-coping-adjustment focus in all treatment plans/goals/outcomes. Left when federal contract was awarded to other agency, so services were discontinued.

Associate Director for Counseling

Jan 1982 - May 1989
As founding director of this personal counseling (outpatient program) which served the campus and community, I did the initial needs assessment plus grant writing, then became administrative and clinical director when the project was grant funded. The program grew by about 300 percent in its 7 year life cycle. We employed four other licensed supervisors besides myself, plus a consulting psychiatrist, and sixteen supervised intern counselors. A two-year training placement was supported by in-service training classes as well as state board required supervision. We phased out the counseling program planfully as board goals changed.
