Caregiver Therapy in Brea, California

Therapy may be helpful for you as a caregiver if ongoing caregiving responsibilities are affecting your mood, sleep, relationships, or ability to manage everyday demands. You may experience persistent worry or anxiety, difficulty relaxing, or emotional exhaustion from trying to balance competing responsibilities. Therapy can help you develop coping strategies and find more sustainable ways to navigate caregiving.

I work with adults experiencing caregiver stress, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty managing the demands of supporting a loved one. This may include adult children caring for aging parents, partners supporting loved ones with chronic health needs, and individuals balancing caregiving with professional or family responsibilities. We will identify the challenges contributing to your stress and anxiety and explore strategies that support your individual needs and goals.

Therapy for caregivers provides a collaborative space to explore your concerns, strengthen coping skills, and develop practical ways to manage stress and establish boundaries. Depending on your needs, we may use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation strategies. Between-session practice may also help you apply these skills to everyday caregiving situations and support your emotional well-being over time.

Individual Therapy: $200 per 50-minute session.

Payment is collected at the time of your session. I accept major credit cards, as well as HSA and FSA cards.

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.
