Anxiety Therapy

If anxiety has been running your days — racing thoughts at night, a tight chest before work, worry that you are falling behind or letting people down — you are not alone, and you do not have to carry it by yourself. At Wellness with Andrea Jakucs & Associates, we offer warm, culturally attuned anxiety therapy for adults in the Pasadena area and by telehealth across California.

 

When anxiety shows up in everyday life

 

Anxiety can look like constant worry, panic, trouble sleeping, irritability, or avoiding the things that matter to you. For many of the adults we work with, it is tangled up with pressure to succeed, perfectionism, family expectations, and people-pleasing — patterns that can be especially familiar for Filipino Americans and other Asian Americans who grew up putting others first. Together, we help you understand what is driving your anxiety and build practical, compassionate tools to steady yourself.

 

How we work together

 

Your care is led by Andrea Cabrera Jakucs, a Filipino-American, Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), together with our associate therapist, Elizabeth Tapang, AMFT. We take time to listen first, then draw on evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, tailored to your values and your story. If faith is part of your life, we can weave Christian faith into your care — always at your pace and only if you would like that. You set the goals, and we walk alongside you, step by step.

 

Fees and getting started

​

Sessions are 53 minutes, held by secure telehealth. Private pay fees are $200 per session with Andrea Cabrera Jakucs, LCSW, and $135 per session with our associate therapist, Elizabeth Tapang, AMFT. We provide monthly superbills that you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. We also welcome clients using the accepted insurance plans listed on our Therapy page.

You do not need to have the right words or a perfect plan to begin. If anxiety is making life smaller, reach out — we would be glad to talk with you about what support could look like.
