Dr. Rebecca Scott, Psy.D
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Certified in Holistic Health
I support PTSD and trauma by utilizing many different modalities. Recalling all the details of the trauma, research suggests, can retraumatize the patient and not be essential for treatment with all patients. Learning how to cope in the moment and relate to the world can be challenging, I can help support this journey.

Janice Shapiro
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
My work as a psychotherapist has always been like a detective uncovering the source. Trauma is no different. Clients usually come to me with intense anxiety, panic attacks, fears and more. We look for patterns from the past and connect the dots. Usually, we find patterns and connections. This is the start of the healing process. Using strategies from Internal Family Systems and psychodynamic therapies, we work together finding and practicing strategies that work for each client.

Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Most of my clinical career has focused on finding more efficient and effective ways to address, understand and heal the impact of trauma in people's lives. Acute Stress Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) are two ways trauma manifests in people's lives when trauma gets "stuck" in the nervous system, and cannot resolve effectively and adaptively. I use EMDR to assist clients to overcome this "stuckness" and to move forward into healthier lives.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Having worked with clients of all ages and stages of life who have experienced trauma, I have trained in EMDR therapy to help. I find EMDR to be extremely efficacious and limits the length and amount of therapy most clients need to do. Symptom relief is vital and EMDR can help tremendously with that. We carry trauma in our body. As a compassionate helper, I want my clients who have experienced trauma to understand their body's responses so that they can notice, identify and stop triggers from sending their nervous system awry.

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.
