The clinic

How do you serve Buena Park from your Cerritos office?

The Cerritos clinic sits where the 91 freeway and the 605 freeway meet, on the LA County and Orange County border. From Buena Park's 90620 and 90621 ZIPs, it is about 10 to 15 minutes north via the 91 freeway.

Telehealth is the primary option for most Buena Park clients. You start by video and can shift to in-person at the Cerritos office at any point. The same clinician, billing, and treatment plan continue in both settings.

The most common scheduling frustration we hear at intake is that clients could not get weekly sessions and only biweekly was available. We offer a weekly cadence where current clinician openings allow.

Continuity of care

Do you keep the same therapist by video and in person?

Large telehealth platforms assign whoever is available and cannot promise a face-to-face backup. At Eye Cue, your clinician is yours whether you join from Buena Park by video or drive to the Cerritos clinic. The same therapist either way.

Clients in north Orange County often start by telehealth therapy and come in person when it helps. You keep the same therapeutic relationship and the same treatment plan throughout. Your clinician also gives you tools to continue your treatment on your own time between sessions.

Coverage

What insurance is accepted for Buena Park residents?

Eye Cue Mental Health accepts Medi-Cal, Anthem Medi-Cal, Blue Shield Promise Medi-Cal, LA Care, Molina, Cigna, and Aetna. Coverage depends on your plan and medical necessity. We verify your benefits before your first session.

For Buena Park residents in Orange County, four of the seven plans reach you statewide by telehealth: Anthem Medi-Cal, Blue Shield Promise Medi-Cal, Cigna, and Aetna. LA Care and Molina are LA County only, so they do not cover Buena Park residents. If you are on a different Medi-Cal managed-care plan, call us and we will check together before you book.

What we treat

What mental health care do you provide for Buena Park clients?

The services our clinicians offer by telehealth and in person at the Cerritos office. If you do not see your concern, call us; intake is the best way to find out if we fit.

Individual therapy

Individual therapy is the practice's primary service. Adults work one-on-one with a clinician on anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD concerns, and life transitions. Treatment length follows medical necessity, not a session quota.

Couples counseling

Couples counseling helps partners address recurring conflict, communication breakdown, and emotional distance, with real tools to name unmet needs and respond to each other.

Trauma therapy and EMDR

Trauma therapy is available by telehealth and in person at the Cerritos office. An EMDR-trained clinician on our team offers EMDR therapy for trauma and stress-related concerns. Most EMDR clinicians do not accept Medi-Cal; ours does.

Medi-Cal therapy

Medi-Cal therapy is available for Buena Park residents on statewide plans. We accept Anthem Medi-Cal, Blue Shield Promise Medi-Cal, Cigna, and Aetna for telehealth across California. Coverage depends on your plan and medical necessity.

Anxiety and depression therapy

Anxiety therapy and depression therapy are among the most common reasons clients call us. Clinicians work through the patterns underneath persistent worry, low mood, and the sense that nothing gets resolved.

Family therapy

Family therapy supports parents, children, and intergenerational dynamics. Clinicians work with the relationships shaping the household, not just the individual in distress.

Language access

Can I see a therapist in my language from Buena Park?

One of the most common frustrations we hear is that clients cannot find a therapist who speaks Farsi, Tagalog, or Spanish. Our team delivers sessions in six languages beyond English: Spanish, Farsi, Tagalog, Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi, spoken across our team.

Buena Park's population includes large Latinx, Filipino, and South Asian communities, and a language match matters for the therapeutic relationship. Call us and we will match you with a clinician whose language fits. See our Medi-Cal therapy page for more on coverage.
