Create Real Change

They really care about the families they work with. The therapists are warm, supportive, and very knowledgeable!

Dr. Danial is an amazing psychologist. He is so kind, caring and really connects with his patients. He is very sensitive to the needs of parents as well. He is very gentle in his approach, but yet is effective, and truly has a natural ability to connect with children.

The Simi Psychological Group is an excellent organization with very personable and competent clinicians. They quickly return calls and work to meet the clients needs as best they can. It definitely gives me peace of mind to refer clients here. Very highly recommend them.

Simi Psychological Group had been a wonderful help to our marriage. My husband and I were playing out unhealthy patterns that had me thinking divorce was the only solution. SPG has helped us break those patterns. They gave us new and healthy ways to communicate, parent, and deal with daily stressors. I credit SPG for not only saving our marriage but also helping to make it stronger and better than ever.

About gave up on ever receiving proper cognitive (talk) therapy within 50 miles and 5 years ago was referred to this new office. Thank you Dr. Novak & Dr. Danial. Good cognitive therapy during difficult times is better than taking a pill or going for a walk!

At first, I thought I would only come in for a session or two to get some advice for helping me manage my anger but I enjoyed my time so much I came back for several months to improve all aspects of mental health.

I recommend this group for anyone looking to get some real and valuable support and growth!

I’ve known her for several years and her empathic nature is truly empowering. She’s helped guide me through difficult challenges and to that I’m always grateful. Nvard is a great friend, coworker, advocate and clinician. I look forward to seeing her blossom and continually help everyone around her grow. Thank you!!

My therapists from Simi Psychological Group have given me the guidance that I need to literally change my life. I appreciate everything they have done for me, and will be forever grateful to this group of people.

I am healthier, and this journey into the next phase of my life will be manageable thanks to therapy.

My experience with Simi Psychological Group has been nothing short of great! The professional staff managed by Dr. Novak and her team assisted one of our family members through a very difficult time in their lives. At first, we were a bit concerned that they were out of network but they are well worth it! They were caring, compassionate and most importantly professional throughout every step of the way. They are really the best in the area!

Sarah Parsons is not only an incredibly talented professional and confidant, but she is also one of the most kind hearted and compassionate people I have ever met. She makes you feel heard and understood as a unique individual without any form of judgment. More importantly, from the first few minutes of speaking with her, you know that Sarah’s empathy and drive to help you are genuine. With Sarah’s continued guidance and support, I feel much more confident about being able to navigate any stressor that life may throw at me.

Paige is an amazing therapist. She was able to guide me through my emotions allowing me to have a clearer understanding of myself. Her unique therapeutic style provided me with feelings of safety to share. Through her support I am better capable of managing my anxieties and my interpersonal relationships.

Oriyan is a great therapist to work with. He is kind, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. I would refer anyone to schedule a session with him.

Oriyan asked me key questions about this issue and helped me come to terms with the truth and many other things. He nudged (as in forced) me in directions that I did not want to go (but looking back, am so thankful that he did). In the process, I came to the conclusion that I need more sessions and need to talk more about stuff. Oriyan was instrumental in helping me understand some key aspects about my own self! As a result of therapy with Oriyan, I think my outlook, goals and perspective have gained clarity and I am very happy about it. Thank you, Oriyan!

Originally I was nervous coming, but Kaidi Liu makes you feel heard without any judgment. She is compassionate and professional. With Kaidi’s guidance, I feel much easier to deal with my stress and anxiety. Thanks!

Josh Duke at Simi Psychological Group is an absolute gem. Josh is highly skilled at integrating trauma informed therapy into his work with couples and individuals. Josh not only brings clinical skills and experience, but more importantly a personal touch that stems from his own wealth of experiences. He is empathic, kind, warm, funny, and brilliant, all of which enrich his work as a therapist. Anyone who has the fortune to work with Josh is lucky.

It’s both an absolute pleasure and privilege to be the recipient of Ms. Allison Jackson’s time and clinical expertise. Allison asks incredibly thoughtful questions that not only makes you feel like you’re the only person on her mind, but that you are being heard in an intimate, meaningful way. It’s evident that she is wired to think about the wellbeing of others, and is motivated by walking alongside others in their respective journeys. For anyone seeking a soft-spoken, kind, and empathetic practitioner, consider becoming one of Allison’s clients. You will be impacted for the better!

As a fellow colleague, I strongly recommend Kaidi as a group facilitator! She co-facilitates a women’s anxiety group here. Their group does amazing work supporting those with anxiety. I trust that they will help even more people in the future!

I had the honor of working with Dr. Jonathan Abdullah and he is an excellent therapist with strengths in providing support using a culturally humble lens and mindfulness-based strategies. He has worked with clients experiencing anxiety, stress/trauma, and couples/relationship challenges with the following age groups: preteens, teens, adults, and couples. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an empathic therapist to guide them to a healthy place.

Nvard is an empathetic and skilled clinician, the past year she has been passionate about mastering her skills as a group therapist. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a safe space to be vulnerable and be a part of healing experience to inquire about her group offerings. Nvard prioritizes her efforts to connect with her clients and utilizes a strength based approach. Thank you Nvard and Simi Psychological Group for your services.

Allison Jackson is a kind hearted and open minded professional. She takes the time to analyze and evaluate each situation brought to her and responds with empathy. She goes above and beyond to make others feel welcome and comfortable, which naturally creates a safe space to share. She is truly a great choice for a therapist in Simi Valley.
