About Us

When you look at your family today, you can’t help but feel a bit burnt out.

If it’s not a call from your child’s school or coming home to a withdrawn teenager, it’s missing the gym again and having to deal with everything at home.

You know that you and your family are capable of more. That each of you has dreams and passions inside you that are within your grasp. But you also know that life feels a bit like an obstacle course, and working hard to get through the maze is keeping all of you from being the people you want to be.

This realization makes you feel like a bit of a failure.

Like you’re not able to keep your own life on course let alone those of the ones you love.

It’s incredibly frustrating to know you, your child, or your family is on the wrong path. Even though you’re invested in bringing about real transformation in you and your family’s lives, you’re still not sure how to make the changes that are going to help you find direction.

Well, we’re here to support you in Simi Valley.

Simi Psychological Group was founded to serve a great need in the Simi Valley community. As we’ve spent time in this town and gotten to know it’s residents we have recognized that it’s a really tight-knit community. We know how dedicated the people who live here are to building one another up and helping their community grow.

And in the process, we’ve also seen a lot of families who are under stress. Who feel pressures in their lives to meet high standards. And sometimes this pressure keeps them from feeling like they are in charge of the direction of their lives.

Change is possible. You and your family can see things from a new perspective, learn to trust yourselves, and experience long-lasting change that each of you has control over.

Here at Simi Psychological Group, there’s something we’re sure of:

^

Having a clear sense of who you are as an individual opens you up to a world of possibilities because you have so much more potential to connect with others.

^

Tuning out and hoping your family’s concerns will all make sense eventually isn’t serving you. You may think that looking the other way will work, but the reality is that the difficulties you and your family are facing are not likely to go away without making some substantial change in your lives.

^

This doesn’t mean you or your family can’t become the navigators of your circumstances. It simply means, you need a plan to gain clarity around what you want from life – and the tools to make these changes – so each of you can begin to make the decisions that bring you closer to your goals.

^

Often, when you’re out of touch with what makes you and your family special, you can close yourself off to the path you’re meant to take. So much so, that everyone you love starts to confuse stagnation with failure.

The truth is, confidence in yourself is possible. And so is a loving, connected family.

By applying new practices every day, each of you will see things from a new perspective. You’ll be able to carve out a new course for yourself and feel better about the direction your family is headed.
