Arpi Isayan, EMDR Therapist
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support clients struggling with trichotillomania, skin picking, and other BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). These patterns often develop in response to anxiety, trauma, or emotional stress. Using EMDR and evidence-based strategies, I help clients better understand their urges, reduce harmful behaviors, and build greater self-awareness and compassion.

Danielle Greenspan, LMFT, LPCC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 104395, LPCC 4889
I have extensive experience working with individuals with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors including hair pulling, skin picking and other behaviors that can be harmful and distressing. I use a client-centered approach to tailor interventions to fit my clients' needs. I particularly like using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to work through these behaviors.

Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Repetitive picking, restricting, exercising, or injurious behaviors require specialized care. I use a body-positive approach to treat these and pay special attention to the underlying causes contributing to symptomatic behaviors.

Fresno sits at the center of California's San Joaquin Valley and serves a largely agricultural economy, with therapists frequently addressing the mental health effects of seasonal work instability, rural poverty, and the physical and psychological demands of farmworker life. The city has large Hispanic, Hmong, and Southeast Asian communities — many with refugee backgrounds — creating demand for multilingual and culturally informed therapists who work with intergenerational trauma, resettlement stress, and identity. Community Regional Medical Center and UCSF Fresno provide institutional mental health resources, while the California State University Fresno psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community. Fresno's relatively limited therapy density compared to coastal metros makes telehealth an important access route for residents across the Central Valley.
