The doctor will see you now… that UnREAL has cast Brandon Jay McLaren (Graceland) as its new cast psychologist.

McLaren will recur throughout Season 3 of the Lifetime drama as Dr. Simon, a “fixer” Quinn (Constance Zimmer) hires to work on “Everlasting,” as reported by Deadline. The former crisis counselor will try to keep his moral high ground, but quickly finds himself thrust into the chaos of the show, which this season features its first female suitor (played by Masters of Sex‘s Caitlin FitzGerald).

McLaren’s previous TV credits also include Ransom, Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, Falling Skies and The Killing.
