Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can dominate your thoughts and time, but specialized treatment provides real relief.

We guide you through gradual exposure to feared situations while building your confidence to resist compulsions, progressively reducing OCD’s control over your daily life.
Personality disorders affect core patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others, but specialized interventions create meaningful change.

Our program helps you build crucial skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness while developing a stronger, more stable sense of identity.
Anxiety disorders, from generalized anxiety to panic disorder and social anxiety, can severely limit your life, but effective treatment restores freedom. Our comprehensive anxiety treatment employs cognitive restructuring to challenge anxious thinking patterns, exposure therapy to face feared situations gradually, and relaxation techniques to manage physical symptoms. We provide practical tools and strategies you can use immediately to reduce worry, manage panic, and reclaim activities anxiety has restricted.

We address mood symptoms while supporting the mother-infant relationship, provide guidance on medication options compatible with breastfeeding, and connect you with ongoing resources for this transitional life stage.
The foundation of effective mental health care is true individualization, which is why we never force clients into predetermined treatment protocols. Instead, we build your entire treatment plan around your specific symptoms, circumstances, preferences, goals, and what matters most to you. This personalized approach maximizes your engagement, ensures treatment relevance, and significantly improves outcomes by addressing your unique needs rather than applying generic solutions.
When medication can benefit your recovery, our experienced psychiatric providers offer expert medication management as an integrated component of comprehensive care. We prescribe thoughtfully, monitor carefully for effectiveness and side effects, and adjust dosages to optimize benefits while minimizing unwanted effects. Medication management is always combined with therapy and other interventions, never used as a standalone treatment, ensuring a truly holistic approach.
Bipolar disorder’s cycling mood episodes require specialized treatment for achieving stability and preventing future episodes. Our bipolar program integrates expert medication management with mood-focused psychotherapy, detailed psychoeducation about recognizing early warning signs, and practical skills for managing triggers and maintaining stability. We help you understand your condition, develop effective strategies for prevention, and build the balanced life you deserve beyond the mood swings.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program represents the most intensive level of outpatient treatment, providing structured therapeutic programming five to six days per week during daytime hours. PHP is designed for individuals who need more intensive support than traditional outpatient care but don’t require 24-hour inpatient hospitalization. This program includes individual therapy, multiple group therapy sessions daily, psychiatric care, and skills training, all while allowing you to maintain the stability of returning home each evening.
The Intensive Outpatient Program provides comprehensive treatment several days per week for several hours each session, offering substantial therapeutic support while preserving your ability to maintain work, school, or family commitments. IOP serves as an excellent step-down from PHP, an alternative when outpatient therapy alone isn’t sufficient, or as primary treatment when you need intensive intervention but have adequate external support and stability.
Our Outpatient Program delivers ongoing mental health support through regularly scheduled individual therapy, medication management appointments, and therapeutic groups on a flexible basis that accommodates your schedule. This level of care works well for managing stable conditions, maintaining gains after completing more intensive treatment, or addressing mental health concerns proactively before they escalate. Outpatient care empowers you to actively integrate therapeutic skills into everyday life while maintaining consistent professional guidance.

Beginning mental health treatment involves important decisions, and we want to provide clear, comprehensive information to support your choices.

The drive from Madera to Shine Mental Health in Fresno typically takes 20-30 minutes via Highway 99 South, making us one of the closest comprehensive mental health treatment centers for Madera residents. The route is straightforward with direct freeway access and minimal complications. Many clients from Madera find this commute very manageable even when attending our PHP or IOP programs that meet multiple times weekly. The short distance means you can access specialized, comprehensive mental health care without the burden of extensive travel, making it easier to maintain consistent attendance and complete your treatment program successfully.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) represents the highest level of outpatient care, generally appropriate when you need intensive therapeutic support but don’t require 24-hour inpatient hospitalization. PHP may be the right choice if you’re experiencing severe mental health symptoms significantly disrupting daily functioning, if you’re transitioning from an inpatient psychiatric hospital, or if less intensive outpatient treatment hasn’t provided adequate improvement. Common situations include severe depression with suicidal thoughts, acute anxiety interfering with basic activities, recent psychiatric crisis, or co-occurring conditions requiring comprehensive coordinated treatment. Our clinical team conducts detailed assessments considering symptom severity, safety factors, available support systems, and functional impairment to recommend whether PHP matches your current treatment needs.
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for individuals needing more structure than weekly therapy sessions but who can safely manage daily responsibilities with appropriate support. IOP might be appropriate if you’re experiencing moderate to severe symptoms requiring several treatment sessions weekly, if you’re stepping down after completing PHP or inpatient care, or if traditional outpatient therapy hasn’t provided sufficient symptom improvement. This level works effectively when you have stable housing, some support network, and the ability to function between sessions but need regular intensive therapeutic intervention. Your assessment will evaluate symptom severity, daily functioning, safety concerns, and support availability to determine if IOP provides the optimal level of care for your recovery needs.
Our Outpatient Program best serves individuals experiencing mild to moderate symptoms who can function reasonably well with professional support, or those working to maintain progress achieved through previous intensive treatment. Outpatient care might be right if you’re seeking consistent therapy and medication management for manageable mental health concerns, if you want to address emerging issues before they worsen, or if you’re sustaining recovery and need ongoing professional guidance. This flexible option allows you to continue work, school, and family responsibilities while receiving regular therapeutic support. If you’re uncertain about the appropriate level of care, our admissions team provides comprehensive free assessments to evaluate your situation and recommend the treatment level most likely to support your success.
Shine Mental Health accepts most major commercial insurance plans, and the majority of our services receive insurance coverage. However, specific coverage details vary considerably based on your individual policy, including factors like your deductible amount, copayment or coinsurance percentages, out-of-pocket maximums, and whether sessions require prior authorization. We strongly encourage verifying your benefits before beginning treatment to understand your financial responsibility clearly. Don’t allow insurance uncertainty to prevent you from accessing needed care – contact us today and we’ll work collaboratively to explore all options for making treatment accessible and financially manageable.
