Our robust service portfolio ensures we can effectively support you at every stage and phase of your recovery journey, from acute crisis requiring intensive intervention to long-term wellness maintenance, relapse prevention, and continued personal growth.
When mental health disorders and substance use issues co-occur and interact, integrated simultaneous treatment of both conditions is absolutely essential for achieving lasting, sustainable recovery and preventing relapse. Our comprehensive Dual Diagnosis program treats both conditions concurrently and in coordination using evidence-based approaches that fully recognize and address their complex interconnection and mutual influence. We help you understand the relationship between your mental health symptoms and substance use patterns while developing healthy, adaptive coping mechanisms, processing underlying trauma and pain, and addressing root causes and contributing factors that perpetuate and fuel both conditions for truly comprehensive, lasting healing and recovery.
Depression can make even the simplest daily tasks feel overwhelming, insurmountable, and pointless, draining all motivation, energy, and joy from life, but effective, appropriate treatment successfully restores hope, functioning, and engagement. Our comprehensive depression treatment combines proven, evidence-based psychotherapy approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Behavioral Activation with expert psychiatric medication management when clinically indicated and beneficial. We treat all forms and presentations of depression including major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and treatment-resistant depression, helping you rediscover pleasure, purpose, energy, motivation, connection, and genuine engagement with the activities, relationships, and pursuits that bring meaning and satisfaction to your life.
Traumatic experiences create profound, lasting impacts on brain, body, emotions, and functioning that require specialized, sensitive, trauma-informed care and intervention to heal effectively, safely, and completely. Our experienced trauma treatment specialists utilize proven, research-supported modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and somatic, body-based approaches to help you safely process traumatic memories and their associated emotions, sensations, and beliefs. We work at your individual pace and comfort level in a supportive, validating, safe environment specifically designed to restore your sense of safety, control, personal agency, and capacity to fully engage with and enjoy life beyond the shadow, limitations, and ongoing impact of trauma.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can consume hours with intrusive, distressing thoughts and time-consuming compulsive rituals and behaviors that severely restrict and limit your life, functioning, and wellbeing, but specialized treatment provides significant, meaningful relief. Our specialized OCD program utilizes Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), widely recognized and established as the most effective, evidence-based treatment for OCD across all subtypes, combined with supportive cognitive interventions and comprehensive skills training. We guide you through carefully structured, gradual, paced exposure to anxiety-provoking situations and triggers while building your capacity, confidence, and skills to resist compulsive responses and behaviors, progressively and systematically reducing OCD’s control, interference, and negative impact on your daily life, relationships, work, and overall functioning and quality of life.
Personality disorders affect fundamental, deeply ingrained, longstanding patterns of thinking, feeling, relating to others, and experiencing yourself and the world, but specialized evidence-based treatment creates meaningful, lasting, transformative change and growth. We provide expert, compassionate care for conditions including Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Avoidant Personality Disorder, and others using approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Mentalization-Based Treatment that have demonstrated significant effectiveness through extensive research and clinical experience. Our comprehensive program helps you develop essential, foundational skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, and self-awareness while building a stronger, more stable, coherent, authentic sense of identity, self-worth, and capacity for healthy relationships and life satisfaction.
Anxiety disorders ranging from generalized anxiety disorder to panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias can severely restrict, limit, and diminish your life, potential, and opportunities, but effective, targeted treatment restores freedom, confidence, and full engagement with life. Our comprehensive, multifaceted anxiety treatment employs cognitive restructuring techniques to challenge, examine, and modify anxious, catastrophic thought patterns and beliefs, carefully designed, graduated exposure therapy to help you face feared situations progressively and successfully, and practical relaxation, grounding, and mindfulness techniques to manage uncomfortable physical symptoms and sensations. We provide immediately applicable, practical tools, skills, and strategies to reduce excessive, unproductive worry, manage panic attacks effectively when they occur, and reclaim activities, opportunities, relationships, and life experiences anxiety has restricted, prevented, or diminished.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder affects focus, concentration, organization, time management, planning, impulse control, and executive functioning throughout the lifespan, often causing significant impairment, frustration, and underachievement across multiple life domains. Our comprehensive, multimodal ADD/ADHD program combines expert psychiatric medication management and optimization with targeted behavioral strategies, practical organizational skills training, time management techniques, and ongoing coaching and support to improve functioning, productivity, and success across work, academic, personal, and relational domains. We help both adults and adolescents develop effective, sustainable, personalized systems, structures, habits, and strategies for managing time and tasks, maintaining focus and attention, controlling impulsivity, and achieving success, satisfaction, and fulfillment despite attention, executive function, and self-regulation challenges.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder involves intense, distressing, time-consuming preoccupation with perceived appearance flaws, defects, or imperfections that are often minimal, unnoticeable, or invisible to others, significantly impacting quality of life, functioning, relationships, and wellbeing. Our specialized, evidence-based treatment employs targeted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and carefully structured, graduated exposure exercises to challenge, examine, and modify distorted body image perceptions, beliefs, and assumptions, reduce time-consuming, counterproductive compulsive behaviors like excessive mirror checking, grooming, camouflaging, or reassurance seeking, and help you develop a more balanced, realistic, accurate, compassionate, and accepting relationship with your body, appearance, and self-image that allows fuller engagement with life.
Chronic insomnia and persistent sleep difficulties negatively impact every aspect of physical health, mental health, cognitive functioning, mood regulation, and daily life and performance, but highly effective, evidence-based non-medication treatment exists and works remarkably well. Our specialized insomnia program utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a structured, systematic approach that addresses and modifies the maladaptive thoughts, unhelpful beliefs, counterproductive behaviors, and environmental factors perpetuating, maintaining, and worsening sleep difficulties and insomnia. We help you restore natural, restorative, refreshing sleep patterns through proven, research-validated techniques including sleep restriction therapy, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, sleep hygiene optimization, and relaxation training that provide lasting, sustainable improvement and sleep quality without long-term dependence on sleep medications, supplements, or other aids.
Schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders require comprehensive, carefully coordinated treatment to effectively manage symptoms and optimize quality of life and daily functioning. Our specialized program combines meticulous psychiatric medication management with evidence-based psychosocial interventions, vocational rehabilitation support, social skills training, and comprehensive family psychoeducation. We focus on symptom reduction, relapse prevention through early warning sign recognition and intervention, and actively supporting your ability to maintain meaningful relationships, stable employment, independent living, and the highest possible level of functioning and life satisfaction.
The postpartum period can bring unexpected, overwhelming mood changes that require professional understanding and specialized, compassionate support. Our postpartum depression program provides expert treatment in a warm, supportive, completely judgment-free environment where new mothers can openly discuss their struggles without shame or fear of judgment. We address mood symptoms while actively supporting healthy mother-infant bonding, provide detailed guidance on medication options that are compatible with breastfeeding when desired, and connect you with valuable ongoing community resources and peer support groups for this significant life transition and adjustment period.
True treatment effectiveness absolutely requires genuine individualization, which is why we build every treatment plan specifically around you rather than forcing you into predetermined, generic protocols or standardized approaches. Your entire comprehensive program is carefully designed around your unique symptoms, personal circumstances, individual preferences, core values, meaningful goals, and what matters most in your life and relationships. This deeply personalized approach maximizes your engagement and motivation, ensures treatment remains continuously relevant and meaningful throughout your journey, and dramatically improves outcomes by directly addressing your specific needs rather than applying one-size-fits-all generic solutions.
When psychiatric medication can meaningfully benefit your recovery process and symptom management, our experienced psychiatric providers offer expert medication management as a fully integrated component of your comprehensive care plan. We prescribe thoughtfully and conservatively with clear clinical rationale, monitor carefully and consistently for both therapeutic effectiveness and potential side effects, and make timely, appropriate adjustments to dosages and medications to optimize therapeutic benefits while minimizing any unwanted effects or complications. Medication management is always combined synergistically with psychotherapy and other therapeutic interventions rather than used in isolation, ensuring a truly holistic, multifaceted, comprehensive treatment approach.
Bipolar disorder’s characteristic cycling between manic or hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes requires specialized, expert treatment for achieving mood stability and preventing disruptive future episodes. Our comprehensive bipolar program integrates expert psychiatric medication management with mood-focused psychotherapy, detailed psychoeducation about recognizing subtle early warning signs of mood changes, and practical, proven skills for effectively managing triggers and maintaining emotional equilibrium and stability. We help you thoroughly understand your condition and patterns, develop highly effective prevention and management strategies and coping skills, and build the stable, balanced, fulfilling life you deserve beyond the unpredictability and disruption of mood episodes.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program provides the highest intensity level of outpatient care available, offering highly structured, comprehensive therapeutic programming five to six days per week during full daytime hours. PHP is specifically designed for individuals who need significantly more intensive support and structure than traditional weekly outpatient care provides but who don’t require 24-hour inpatient psychiatric hospitalization with round-the-clock supervision. This rigorous program includes daily individual therapy sessions, multiple evidence-based group therapy sessions each day, regular psychiatric care and medication management, comprehensive skills training across multiple domains, and intensive case management services, all while allowing you to return home each evening to practice newly learned skills, maintain important family connections, and preserve some degree of normalcy and independence.
The Intensive Outpatient Program delivers substantial, meaningful, comprehensive treatment several days per week typically three to five days for several hours each session usually three to four hours, providing significant therapeutic support, structure, intervention, and clinical monitoring while crucially preserving and protecting your ability to maintain employment or job searching, continue education or training, or fulfill essential family responsibilities, childcare, and other commitments. IOP serves excellently and effectively as a step-down level of care from PHP for those who have achieved some stabilization and can manage with less intensive structure, represents a strong, appropriate alternative when traditional weekly outpatient therapy alone proves insufficient for your needs and doesn’t provide adequate support or progress, or functions as primary treatment when you require intensive therapeutic intervention, skills development, and regular professional support but possess adequate baseline stability, safety, and functional external support systems and resources already in place.
Our flexible, accommodating Outpatient Program provides consistent, ongoing mental health support, treatment, and monitoring through regularly scheduled individual therapy sessions typically weekly or bi-weekly, medication management appointments with psychiatric providers typically monthly or as clinically indicated, and therapeutic group sessions addressing various topics and skills on a flexible schedule that readily accommodates and works around your life, work schedule, family commitments and responsibilities, and other obligations. This level of care works effectively and appropriately for successfully managing stable mental health conditions requiring ongoing support and monitoring, maintaining and building upon significant progress, gains, and skills achieved through previous successful completion of more intensive treatment programs like PHP or IOP, or proactively, preventatively addressing emerging mental health concerns, symptoms, or risk factors before they potentially escalate, worsen, or develop into crisis requiring emergency intervention or more intensive treatment. Outpatient care empowers, supports, and enables you to actively integrate, practice, and apply therapeutic skills, insights, and strategies in your everyday life, real-world situations, and natural environment while maintaining consistent professional clinical guidance, support, monitoring, feedback, and accountability to sustain progress and prevent relapse.

Beginning mental health treatment involves many important decisions, considerations, and natural questions, and we want to provide clear, comprehensive, honest, transparent information to support your choices and reduce understandable concerns, anxieties, and uncertainties about the process. The frequently asked questions below directly address the most common inquiries, concerns, and questions we regularly receive from Fresno County area residents about accessing our services, understanding different treatment intensity levels and what they involve, and managing practical considerations like insurance coverage, authorization processes, scheduling flexibility, treatment duration, and out-of-pocket costs.
The drive from Clovis to Shine Mental Health in Fresno typically takes only 10-15 minutes depending on your specific location in Clovis and current traffic conditions, making us exceptionally convenient and accessible for Clovis residents seeking quality mental health treatment and support. As neighboring cities that share borders and are essentially part of the same greater metropolitan area, the route is very straightforward with multiple easy access options via Shaw Avenue, Herndon Avenue, or other major arterials connecting the two cities. Many of our valued Clovis clients find this extremely short commute incredibly manageable, convenient, and minimally disruptive even when attending our intensive PHP or IOP programs that meet multiple full days per week and require consistent, regular attendance. The immediate proximity and minimal travel time mean you can readily access specialized, comprehensive, expert multidisciplinary mental health care without any significant burden of travel, commute time, or disruption to your daily life, work schedule, family responsibilities, and other commitments, making it considerably easier to maintain consistent attendance throughout your entire treatment program and successfully complete treatment for optimal outcomes, lasting recovery success, and sustained wellness and quality of life.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) represents the most intensive, comprehensive level of outpatient care available in our treatment continuum, generally clinically appropriate and recommended when you need substantial, structured therapeutic support and intensive daily intervention but don’t require 24-hour inpatient psychiatric hospitalization with continuous round-the-clock supervision, monitoring, and acute medical management. PHP may be the optimal choice and most appropriate level of care for your current situation if you’re experiencing severe mental health symptoms that significantly disrupt normal daily functioning, self-care, work, relationships, and responsibilities, if you’re transitioning down from a higher level of inpatient psychiatric hospital care following stabilization and need continued intensive support during this vulnerable transition, or if previous less intensive outpatient treatment approaches haven’t provided adequate symptom improvement, functional gains, or sufficient support for your recovery needs and goals. Common clinical situations, presentations, and circumstances clearly warranting PHP level of care include severe, persistent depression with active suicidal thoughts, plans, intent, or recent attempts, acute debilitating anxiety or panic preventing normal activities, basic self-care, work, and functioning, recent psychiatric crisis, decompensation, or hospitalization requiring continued intensive professional support and structure during stabilization and early recovery, or complex co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders requiring comprehensive coordinated integrated treatment simultaneously addressing both conditions with intensive daily structure and support. Our experienced, trained, skilled clinical team conducts thorough, detailed, comprehensive assessments carefully considering multiple important factors including your symptom severity and acuity, safety factors and risks, available external support systems and resources, current functional impairment and limitations, medical and psychiatric history, and complete treatment history to professionally determine whether PHP appropriately matches your current clinical treatment needs, safety requirements, and recovery goals at this specific time in your journey.
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is specifically designed for individuals who need significantly more structure, support, and therapeutic intervention than standard weekly therapy sessions alone can provide but who can safely manage basic daily responsibilities, self-care, and functioning with appropriate professional support, guidance, and regular monitoring and accountability. IOP might be clinically appropriate for your needs and situation if you’re currently experiencing moderate to severe mental health symptoms requiring several intensive, focused treatment sessions weekly for adequate support and meaningful progress, if you’re successfully stepping down after completing PHP or inpatient psychiatric care and demonstrating readiness for somewhat less intensive but still highly structured care and support, or if traditional once-weekly outpatient therapy hasn’t provided sufficient symptom relief, functional improvement, or adequate support for your specific needs, challenges, and recovery goals. This intermediate level of care works effectively and is most appropriate when you have reasonably stable housing and living situation, some functional support network of family, friends, or other supportive relationships and connections, and the basic capacity and ability to function adequately between treatment sessions but clearly need regular intensive therapeutic intervention several times weekly, skills development and practice, professional monitoring and feedback, and clinical support and guidance. Your comprehensive clinical assessment will thoroughly evaluate multiple important factors including your symptom severity and presentation, daily functioning capacity and limitations, safety concerns and risk factors, available support resources and systems, work or school demands, family situation, and treatment readiness to professionally determine if IOP provides the optimal, most appropriate level of care for your individual recovery needs, current clinical status, and unique circumstances at this stage of your treatment and recovery journey.
Our flexible Outpatient Program best serves individuals currently experiencing mild to moderate mental health symptoms who can function reasonably well in daily life, maintain employment or education, manage basic responsibilities and self-care, and live safely in the community with appropriate ongoing professional support, guidance, and regular monitoring, or those actively working to maintain and build upon significant progress, gains, and skills achieved through previous successful completion of more intensive treatment programs like PHP or IOP. Outpatient care might be right for your current situation and needs if you’re seeking consistent therapy and medication management for manageable mental health concerns that don’t require intensive daily intervention, highly structured programming, or constant clinical supervision, if you want to proactively address emerging issues, concerning patterns, or mild symptoms before they potentially worsen, escalate, or develop into more serious problems requiring crisis intervention or higher levels of care, or if you’re successfully sustaining recovery, maintaining stability, functioning well, and need ongoing professional guidance, support, monitoring, feedback, and accountability to maintain your gains, prevent relapse, and continue progressing toward your goals. This flexible, less intensive, more independent option allows you to fully continue employment, education, family responsibilities, and normal daily life and activities while receiving regular, consistent therapeutic support, professional clinical monitoring and guidance, and ongoing treatment to support your continued wellness, growth, and life satisfaction. If you’re genuinely uncertain about the most appropriate level of care for your unique situation, specific needs, current symptoms, and life circumstances, our experienced, knowledgeable, caring admissions team readily provides comprehensive free clinical assessments and consultations to carefully evaluate your specific circumstances, symptoms, functioning, strengths, needs, and goals and recommend the treatment level and program structure most likely to effectively support your successful recovery, sustained progress, optimal outcomes, and lasting wellness based on your individual clinical presentation, life situation, and personal goals and preferences.
Shine Mental Health accepts and works with most major commercial insurance plans. However, specific coverage details, benefits, and patient financial responsibility vary considerably and sometimes significantly based on your individual insurance policy, plan type, and specific benefits, including important factors like your annual deductible amount and whether you’ve met it, copayment or coinsurance percentages you’re responsible for paying, out-of-pocket maximum limits for the year, and whether your specific treatment plan, level of care, or services require prior authorization approval from your insurance company before services can begin or continue. We strongly and consistently encourage all prospective clients to verify their specific benefits before beginning treatment to clearly and fully understand your personal financial responsibility and avoid any unexpected costs, surprise bills, or financial concerns that could create stress or barriers. Don’t allow insurance uncertainty or concerns about costs and financial responsibility to prevent you from accessing the mental health care you genuinely need and deserve – contact us today and we’ll work collaboratively, compassionately, and creatively with you to explore all available options for making treatment accessible, affordable, and financially manageable for your unique situation, circumstances, and budget.
