Anxiety Therapy in Brea, California
Anxiety can show up in many ways, and anxiety therapy can help you better understand what you’re experiencing.
Are you constantly overthinking or stuck in “what if” thoughts you can’t turn off?
Do you notice physical signs of anxiety, like a racing heart, tight chest, or trouble relaxing even when nothing is wrong? Maybe you’re experiencing panic attacks?
Does your mind feel like it won’t slow down, even when you’re exhausted?
Anxiety is often the brain’s attempt to protect you, but sometimes that system becomes overactive and exhausting.
Anxiety can affect your sleep, focus, relationships, and daily life. Therapy can help you understand your anxiety and learn ways to respond to it more effectively.
If you’re struggling with ongoing anxiety or chronic worry, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute call below to discuss anxiety counseling or contact me at 714-683-0677.

I work with adults experiencing generalized anxiety disorder, panic symptoms, overthinking, social anxiety disorder, and anxiety related to life adjustments, caregiving, chronic illness, work, or other demanding areas of life.

Aurea Life Therapy is primarily a private-pay, out-of-network practice. I also have limited availability for clients with Anthem Blue Cross. Working primarily outside of insurance allows me to provide individualized care without having treatment decisions guided by insurance requirements.
If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, you may be able to receive reimbursement for a portion of your session fee. I can provide a monthly superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Before starting therapy, contact your insurance plan and ask about:
Out-of-network mental health benefits
Your deductible and reimbursement amount
The process for submitting a superbill
You can also use Thrizer to check whether your plan may provide out-of-network benefits.
Please keep in mind that out-of-network reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan and is not guaranteed. Using out-of-network benefits also generally requires a mental health diagnosis to be shared with your insurance company.
