When mental health disorders and substance use issues occur together, integrated simultaneous treatment is essential for achieving lasting recovery. Our Dual Diagnosis program treats both conditions concurrently using evidence-based approaches that recognize and address their complex interconnection. We help you understand how your mental health symptoms and substance use patterns influence each other while developing healthy coping mechanisms, processing underlying trauma, and addressing root causes that fuel both conditions for comprehensive, sustainable healing.
Depression can make even simple daily tasks feel overwhelming and drain all motivation and joy from life, but effective treatment restores hope and functioning. Our comprehensive depression treatment combines proven psychotherapy approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Behavioral Activation with expert medication management when clinically indicated. We treat all forms of depression including major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, seasonal patterns, and treatment-resistant depression, helping you rediscover pleasure, purpose, energy, and engagement with the activities and relationships that matter most.
Traumatic experiences create profound, lasting impacts that require specialized, trauma-informed care to heal effectively and completely. Our trauma treatment specialists utilize proven, research-supported modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and somatic approaches to help you safely process traumatic memories and associated emotions. We work at your individual pace in a supportive, validating environment specifically designed to restore your sense of safety, personal agency, and capacity to fully engage with life beyond the limitations trauma has imposed.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can consume hours with intrusive thoughts and compulsive rituals that severely limit your life, but specialized treatment provides significant relief. Our OCD program utilizes Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), recognized as the most effective evidence-based treatment for OCD, combined with supportive cognitive interventions and skills training. We guide you through carefully structured, gradual exposure to anxiety-triggering situations while building your capacity and confidence to resist compulsive responses, progressively reducing OCD’s control and interference in your daily life, relationships, and overall functioning.
Personality disorders affect fundamental, longstanding patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others, but specialized evidence-based treatment creates meaningful, sustainable change. We provide expert care for conditions including Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Avoidant Personality Disorder using approaches like Dialectical Behavior Therapy that have demonstrated significant effectiveness. Our program helps you develop essential skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness while building a stronger, more stable, coherent sense of identity and self-worth.
Anxiety disorders ranging from generalized anxiety to panic disorder, social anxiety, and specific phobias can severely restrict your life and potential, but effective treatment restores freedom and confidence. Our comprehensive anxiety treatment employs cognitive restructuring techniques to challenge and modify anxious thought patterns, carefully designed exposure therapy to help you face feared situations gradually and successfully, and practical relaxation techniques to manage physical symptoms. We provide immediately applicable tools and strategies to reduce excessive worry, manage panic attacks effectively, and reclaim activities and opportunities anxiety has limited or prevented.
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder affects focus, organization, time management, impulse control, and executive functioning throughout life, often causing significant impairment in multiple areas. Our comprehensive ADD/ADHD program combines expert medication management with targeted behavioral strategies, practical organizational skills training, and ongoing coaching to improve functioning across work, academic, and personal domains. We help both adults and adolescents develop effective, sustainable systems and habits for managing time, completing tasks, maintaining focus and attention, and achieving success despite attention and executive function challenges.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder involves distressing preoccupation with perceived physical flaws, often invisible to others. Our specialized treatment uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and exposure techniques to challenge distorted body image beliefs and reduce compulsive behaviors like mirror checking or seeking reassurance. We help you develop a healthier, more compassionate relationship with your appearance and body.
Chronic insomnia negatively impacts every aspect of physical health, mental health, cognitive functioning, and daily life, but highly effective non-medication treatment exists and works. Our evidence-based insomnia program utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a structured approach that addresses the maladaptive thoughts, counterproductive behaviors, and environmental factors perpetuating and maintaining sleep difficulties. We help you restore natural, restorative sleep patterns through proven techniques including sleep restriction, stimulus control, and cognitive restructuring that provide lasting improvement without long-term dependence on sleep medications or supplements.
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 strikes a balance between structure and flexibility, providing comprehensive treatment several days per week while allowing you to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities. IOP is often appropriate when stepping down from PHP, when outpatient therapy isn’t providing enough support, or when you need intensive treatment but have a stable living situation and support system.
Our flexible Outpatient Program provides consistent, ongoing mental health support through regularly scheduled individual therapy sessions, medication management appointments with psychiatric providers, and therapeutic group sessions on a flexible schedule that readily accommodates your life, work schedule, and family commitments and responsibilities. This level of care works effectively for successfully managing stable mental health conditions, maintaining and building upon progress achieved through previous successful completion of more intensive treatment programs, or proactively addressing emerging mental health concerns before they potentially escalate into crisis or require more intensive intervention. Outpatient care empowers and supports you to actively integrate and practice therapeutic skills and insights in your everyday life and real-world situations while maintaining consistent professional clinical guidance, support, monitoring, and accountability.
Supporting optimal mental wellness requires thoughtful attention to how you spend your time and engage with your community beyond formal therapy sessions and clinical treatment. Reedley and the surrounding area offer wonderful opportunities to practice meaningful self-care, effectively reduce stress, and participate in activities that actively promote emotional balance, physical health, and personal fulfillment. We strongly encourage our clients to explore and regularly utilize these valuable local resources as important complements to their treatment, intentionally building healthy routines and meaningful social connections that sustain long-term mental health and overall wellbeing.

These experiences provide meaning, beauty, seasonal rhythm, and connection to something larger than individual concerns, all of which support mental health recovery and ongoing wellness.

The physical environment where treatment occurs plays a significant, meaningful role in the overall healing process and therapeutic experience, which is why we’ve thoughtfully and intentionally designed our Fresno facility at 7045 N Fruit Ave to actively promote comfort, safety, hope, healing, and recovery. From our warm, welcoming reception area to private, comfortable therapy spaces and inviting group rooms, every single element and detail has been carefully considered and designed to support and enhance your recovery journey and overall treatment experience. Abundant natural light, carefully chosen calming colors, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful aesthetic details throughout create an atmosphere of genuine warmth and professional competence rather than a cold, sterile clinical institutional feel that can feel unwelcoming or intimidating.
Beginning mental health treatment involves many important decisions and considerations, and we want to provide clear, comprehensive, honest information to support your choices and reduce understandable concerns, anxieties, and questions. The frequently asked questions below directly address the most common inquiries we regularly receive from Reedley and Fresno County area residents about accessing our services, understanding different treatment intensity levels and what they involve, and managing practical considerations like insurance coverage, scheduling flexibility, treatment duration, and costs.
The drive from Reedley to Shine Mental Health in Fresno typically takes approximately 25-30 minutes via Highway 99 North or Highway 180 West, making us one of the most accessible comprehensive mental health treatment centers for Reedley residents seeking specialized, expert care. The route is straightforward with well-maintained roads and direct freeway or highway access, and traffic is generally light to moderate throughout most of the day. Many of our valued Reedley clients find this commute very reasonable and quite manageable even when attending our intensive PHP or IOP programs that meet multiple days per week and require consistent attendance. The short distance and easy access mean you can readily access specialized, comprehensive, multidisciplinary mental health care without the significant burden of extensive long-distance travel or major disruption to your daily life and responsibilities, making it considerably easier to maintain consistent attendance throughout your entire treatment program and successfully complete treatment for optimal outcomes and lasting recovery success and sustained wellness.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) represents the most intensive, comprehensive level of outpatient care available in our continuum, generally clinically appropriate when you need substantial, structured therapeutic support and intensive intervention but don’t require 24-hour inpatient psychiatric hospitalization with continuous round-the-clock supervision and monitoring. PHP may be the optimal choice and most appropriate level of care for your situation if you’re currently experiencing severe mental health symptoms that significantly disrupt normal daily functioning, self-care, and responsibilities, if you’re transitioning down from a higher level of inpatient psychiatric hospital care and need continued intensive support, or if previous less intensive outpatient treatment approaches haven’t provided adequate symptom improvement, functional gains, or sufficient support for your recovery needs. Common clinical situations and presentations clearly warranting PHP level care include severe, persistent depression with active suicidal thoughts, plans, or recent attempts, acute debilitating anxiety preventing normal activities, basic self-care, and functioning, recent psychiatric crisis or hospitalization requiring continued intensive professional support and structure during stabilization, or complex co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders requiring comprehensive coordinated integrated treatment addressing both conditions simultaneously. Our experienced, trained clinical team conducts thorough, detailed assessments carefully considering multiple factors including your symptom severity and acuity, safety factors and risks, available external support systems and resources, current functional impairment and limitations, and complete treatment history to professionally determine whether PHP appropriately matches your current clinical treatment needs, safety requirements, and recovery goals at this time.
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. 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 progress, if you’re successfully stepping down after completing PHP or inpatient psychiatric care and demonstrating readiness for less intensive but still structured care, or if traditional once-weekly outpatient therapy hasn’t provided sufficient symptom relief, functional improvement, or adequate support for your specific needs and challenges. 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 the basic capacity and ability to function adequately between treatment sessions but clearly need regular intensive therapeutic intervention, skills development and practice, professional monitoring, and clinical support. 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, and available support resources and systems 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, and manage basic responsibilities with appropriate ongoing professional support, guidance, and regular monitoring, or those actively working to maintain and build upon significant progress 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 or highly structured programming, 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 if you’re successfully sustaining recovery, maintaining stability, and need ongoing professional guidance, support, monitoring, and accountability to maintain your gains and continue progressing. This flexible, less intensive option allows you to fully continue employment, education, family responsibilities, and normal daily life and activities while receiving regular, consistent therapeutic support, clinical monitoring, and professional guidance. If you’re genuinely uncertain about the most appropriate level of care for your unique situation, specific needs, and current clinical status, our experienced, knowledgeable admissions team readily provides comprehensive free clinical assessments and consultations to carefully evaluate your specific circumstances, symptoms, functioning, and needs and recommend the treatment level and program structure most likely to effectively support your successful recovery, sustained progress, and lasting wellness based on your individual presentation and goals.
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.
