Our Team

cathy bilotti,  M.ED., LMHC

Clinical Director

Cathy decided 10 years ago to switch gears and leave her family restaurant business to pursue a career she felt was more rewarding and aligned with her passion of helping others. Cathy received her master’s degree in mental health counseling from Florida Atlantic University and is a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. She has worked in the field for the past 8 years and has experience in treating both mental health and substance abuse. Cathy is passionate about creating a safe, trusting environment with her clients that promotes healing.  Her desire is to explore the root of her client’s problems and how substance use became the solution to their issues. When Cathy is not working, you can find her traveling, working out at the gym, or cooking for her friends and family.  

Matt Wilkof

Chief Operating Officer

Matthew started his career in the treatment industry in 2012 after leaving a music career behind. After getting sober in 2011, he wanted to get into the field to help those still suffering from addiction. In 2015, Matt became the director of operations at Simple Path Recovery and would eventually become supervisor. Matt thoroughly enjoys the challenges and dynamics of his role in leading a talented team of addiction professionals. Client care is Matt’s top priority and the pride of Simple Path Recovery’s reputation. Matt still enjoys playing music with his band but has dedicated his career to helping others recover from addiction.

DEREK STEINMETZ

Director of Operations

Derek began working in the addiction treatment field in 2016.  Prior to that, he was an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) technician who had struggled with addiction most of his adult life before getting sober.  With a passion for fixing things, Mr. Steinmetz decided to make a lateral change to assist others with substance use disorders.  Derek is also working towards his master’s degree in social work at Walden University, so that he can continue to advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves. As Simple Path Recovery’s operation manager, Derek has the opportunity to help others come out of the darkness of addiction and into recovery. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and family, along with smoking in his BBQ Shaq.

Jack’s journey began when he arrived at Simple Path to get clean and sober. He never thought he could deal with his anxiety and depression without using drugs. Group and one-on-one therapy empowered him to deal with his problems and get better. Going strong at his one-year anniversary, Jack is in a very good place.

Chase D.

"I attended Simple Path in June of 2019. I had never tried to get sober and I never went to treatment before. I was scared and vulnerable. I immediately felt safe at Simple Path. In the IOP the therapists listened to me, like actually heard and genuinely cared about me. They not only helped me on my path to sobriety but they also helped me immensely with my trauma. God willing I'll have 16 months on the 1st. I couldn't have done it without all the love and care from Simple Path. Thank you to Cathy, Heidi, Carrie, Emily, Sammy Jo and Ian!"
