It’s incredibly frustrating to know that you, your child, or your family is on the wrong path but feel unsure how to find your way forward. Even when you’re deeply invested in bringing about real transformation, it’s hard to access the clarity or tools to make those changes last. At Simi Psychological Group, we believe you or your loved ones can gain new perspective, build trust in yourselves, and experience meaningful, long-term change that feels authentic and empowering.

As a team of therapists, we’re committed to understanding the bigger picture of what’s going on. We take a depth-oriented approach, going beyond surface-level issues to help uncover patterns that keep you stuck. Our goal is to help you or your family move toward a more connected, empowered life—with more confidence, understanding, and connection.

We provide individual, couples, and family therapy, along with neuropsychological testing for ADHD, learning, and emotional concerns. We also integrate family systems work in child and teen therapy. If you’re looking for a warm and insightful space to create real change, we’d love to connect. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation.

Groups

Men’s Support Group

Hosted by

Donna Novak

This group is for adult men. As men, we are often given the message that emotions and vulnerability make us weak. Much of the time we learn to create surface level relationships and struggle to communicate what we are actually feeling in an authentic way. In this group, you will be supported by other men with similar challenges. The intention of the group is to help members gain awareness of their own patterns that interfere with relationships and create a space to authentically connect with emotions and vulnerability. Contact us today to sign up for your free screening appointment.

Women's Anxiety Group

Hosted by

Donna Novak

This group is for adult women who experience anxiety. The intention of this group is to create a safe space to connect with other women and explore common stressors and worries. Our group facilitators help you self-reflect and notice patterns of worry and self-judgment that may be impacting how you experience your life. By connecting with others who have similar struggles and learning tools to quiet your inner critic and feel more empowered, this group can help you feel more confident and engaged in your life.

Hiking with Mindfulness

Hosted by

Donna Novak

During our mindfulness hikes, we incorporate the natural healing properties that nature has to offer and support members with putting mindfulness into practice. We guide others to slow down and take in their surroundings, engage their senses, and bring awareness to how they are feeling in the present moment. Our intention is to help others step away from the noise and chaos of their day to day lives to quiet their minds and think through things more clearly. We hope members feel more grounded and leave the hike finding peace within themselves, as well as some ways to incorporate these skills into everyday life.
