Resources

At Olive Leaf Family Therapy, we believe healing happens not just within the therapy room, but also through connection to supportive community resources.

Whether you're seeking additional mental health support, looking for local services, or searching for a medication prescriber who understands your needs, we’ve curated resources for our Fresno and Long Beach communities, designed to extend the care and support you deserve as you navigate your mental health journey.

Community Resources

Both Fresno and Long Beach offer a wealth of community organizations dedicated to supporting mental health, family wellness, and social services.

In Fresno, resources include the Fresno County Department of Behavioral Health, Marjaree Mason Center for survivors of domestic violence, and Community Regional Medical Center's crisis services.

Long Beach community members can connect with the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services, the CENTER Long Beach for LGBTQ+ support, and MemorialCare Miller Children's & Women's Hospital for perinatal and family services.

Additionally, 211 California is available statewide for free, confidential information and referrals to local health and human services, accessible by simply dialing 2-1-1.
