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If it’s not a call from your child’s school or coming home to a withdrawn teenager, it’s missing the gym again and having to deal with everything at home.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.
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.
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:
The truth is, confidence in yourself is possible. And so is a loving, connected family.
That’s Where Our Psychologists and Therapists at Simi Psychological Group Comes In:

When You Seek Support from Simi Psychological Group
You are investing in deep, long-lasting change.
Perhaps you’re a woman – who also happens to be a mom and a wife – who is worrying all the time.
Your mind is always focused on the future or brooding over the past and it’s impossible for you to stay present in the moment. You’ve tried to eliminate the things that trigger your anxiety, but the surface-level efforts have never seemed to fix what feels so off deep inside. You so desperately want to be break free from all the fear you feel, but you have no idea how to find a sense of peace. We understand. By scheduling an anxiety therapy session with us, you will realize that it’s ok to be vulnerable and long-lasting healing comes when you embrace change.
Or maybe your young child is struggling with anxiety or to develop social skills.
Or maybe your young child is struggling.

It’s possible you’ve noticed this same lost feeling in your teenager.
They withdraw from family activities and are always in their room occupied by screens. Every time you reach out to try to connect, they reject you. You’ve tried to encourage them without pressuring them, but they seem to have little direction no matter what you do. You want to be able to look to the future and see a happy, well-adjusted young adult, but you have no idea how to help with their intense feelings. It’s ok. By scheduling an adolescent therapy session with us, you will give your teen a safe place to explore their feelings and actions
