Convenient and Affordable Mental Health Treatment in Irvine, California

Did you know that your health insurance may cover your therapy appointments? Many people are not familiar with this amazing benefit that can save you hundreds of dollars every month!

Our practice has Cigna therapists in Irvine who you can start meeting with in days, not weeks. Therapy doesn’t have to feel out of reach—especially when your insurance plan can help cover the cost. At Therapy with Yuki, we specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, cultural identity, and life transitions, and we are an in-network provider with Cigna Evernorth.

The Benefits of Using Insurance for Therapy

Therapy is an investment in your well-being—and using your Cigna Evernorth insurance can make that investment more accessible. Here are a few key benefits:

  • Lower out-of-pocket costs: In-network therapy sessions typically come with a copay, coinsurance, or deductible—significantly reducing what you pay per session. Clients with a copay plan typically save over $100 per session!

  • More consistent care: Financial support from your insurance can help you attend sessions regularly, which is key to therapeutic progress.

  • Access to expert professionals: Cigna Evernorth’s network includes vetted, credentialed therapists who provide quality care - like us!

Working with a Cigna Evernorth therapist in Irvine means you can prioritize your mental health without worrying about the hassle and logistics.

Therapy Is an Evidence-Based Treatment That Works

Therapy isn’t just talking—it’s a structured, evidence-based treatment that helps reduce symptoms, build coping strategies, and create lasting change. At our practice in Irvine, we offer approaches such as:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, depression, and stress

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma and PTSD

  • Mindfulness-based and relational approaches for self-awareness and emotional regulation

These are not one-size-fits-all treatments. Each session is tailored to your needs and goals—and backed by decades of clinical research.
