Brea residents with Cigna can receive virtual or in-person mental health care through Headway, where providers offer both talk therapy and medication management. With copays as low as $0 and a vast provider network, finding the right fit for your mental health needs has never been more accessible.
My hope is to help the client and families reach their goals and to provide them with a safe and non-judgmental place to do that. When working with a client, I will assist in allowing the clients to process their feelings and thoughts in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
