Personalized, Evidence-Based Therapy in Simi Valley

At Valiant Behavioral Health, we know that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we offer a wide range of therapy in Simi Valley—tailored to your experiences, your relationships, and your goals. Whether you’re navigating trauma, addiction, emotional overwhelm, or strained connections, our trauma-informed clinicians are here to help you heal with care that fits your life.

Our therapy offerings are integrated into our IOP and PHP programs, providing a full-spectrum recovery experience grounded in trust, flexibility, and clinical excellence.

Individual Therapy

Sometimes, healing starts with one person, one room, and one trusted connection. Our individual therapy sessions give you space to explore what’s underneath the symptoms—at your own pace.

In one-on-one sessions, you’ll work with a licensed clinician to:

  • Process trauma or emotional pain
  • Build coping skills for anxiety, depression, or addiction
  • Understand thought patterns and develop insight
  • Reconnect with your values and self-worth

This is not surface-level talk therapy. It’s personalized, trauma-informed care that helps you shift from survival to stability. 

Group Therapy

Group therapy at Valiant offers more than support—it offers real connection. Led by trained facilitators, group sessions are a safe, judgment-free space where healing happens through shared experience.

Our evidence-based group therapy includes:

  • Emotional regulation skills
  • Boundary-setting and communication
  • Relapse prevention and triggers
  • Shame resilience and self-compassion
  • Mindfulness and somatic awareness

Clients often say they didn’t expect to connect—but group became their favorite part of the program.

Couples Therapy

Addiction and mental health issues don’t happen in isolation—and neither does healing. We offer couples therapy in Simi Valley to help rebuild relationships strained by trauma, substance use, or disconnection.

Couples therapy focuses on:

  • Rebuilding trust and emotional safety
  • Improving communication patterns
  • Navigating boundaries in recovery
  • Healing past ruptures and building forward

When clinically appropriate, couples sessions are offered as part of the overall treatment plan to support relational healing.

Therapy for Family Relationships

Recovery isn’t just personal—it’s relational. That’s why we provide therapy for family relationships, designed to help loved ones heal together.

Our family relationship therapy supports:

  • Parent-child dynamics
  • Sibling conflict and communication breakdowns
  • Generational trauma
  • Blended family stressors
  • Rebuilding trust and healthy connection

This work helps loved ones create space for the “new version” of the client returning home, making transitions smoother and more sustainable.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

All of our therapy in Simi Valley is trauma-informed—meaning we prioritize emotional safety, consent, and control at every stage.

You will never be forced to talk about anything before you’re ready. But when you are, we offer:

  • EMDR for processing trauma safely
  • DBT for emotional regulation and boundaries
  • Mindfulness-based interventions for grounding and presence
  • Psychoeducation to understand how trauma affects the nervous system

Trauma-informed care isn’t a special track—it’s the foundation of everything we do.

Our Therapeutic Modalities

Valiant’s therapy model includes a wide range of evidence-based tools, including:

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
  • DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  • Mindfulness and somatic-based techniques
  • Relapse prevention and life skills training

Every client receives a customized treatment plan, with therapeutic modalities selected based on your needs, comfort level, and recovery goals.

Why Our Approach to Therapy in Simi Valley Works

We’ve designed our therapy offerings to meet you exactly where you are—without judgment, pressure, or unrealistic expectations.

  • Daytime and evening availability through IOP/PHP
  • Licensed, trauma-trained clinicians
  • Whole-person care that considers your relationships, responsibilities, and past
  • Therapy that adapts to your readiness, not the other way around

Clients often tell us, “I’ve never felt this safe or understood in therapy before.” That’s exactly what we strive for.
