Rates & Insurance
Insurance
Most people have insurance that will cover part or all of our fees for therapy services. If we are in-network with your insurance, we will file claims for you. Most insurance plans require you to make a co-pay or deductible payment. Payment is taken at the time of services. You may also elect to self-pay if you do not have insurance, or if we are out of network.
Current In-network Insurances:
Self-Pay Therapy
If you are not using insurance, or if we are out of network with your insurance, you can receive services as a self-pay client. The self-pay rate is $200 for and initial 60 min session and $175 for each 50 min session thereafter.
EMDR Intensives
EMDR Intensives are a specialty service of intense therapy treatment over the course of a weekend. Each Weekend Intensive start at $2200.
No Show/Late Cancellation
A 24 hour notice is required if you wish to cancel an appointment so that your therapist has time to reschedule your slot with another client. Automated appointment reminders are sent to you at 36 hours prior to your appointment. If you do not cancel within the required time frame, or if you fail to show for your appointment, a fee of $125 will be charged.
Insurance does not cover the fee. You will be required to pay your fee before you may reschedule.

Crisis/After Hours Services
If you have a crisis, we will of course help you. However, our practice is not designed for clients who frequently need crisis care, and we do not have clinicians on-call.
If you have been hospitalized in the past six months, or have issues with frequent suicidal thoughts or behaviors, or have active psychotic symptoms, please discuss this during the consultation so that we can determine if our practice is an appropriate match for your needs.
If you do need to be hospitalized, or if you need after hours crisis care, this is typically handled by phone by your therapist. Phone calls to coordinate care are not covered by insurance, and will be charged as an out-of-pocket fee of $125 per hour.

Case Management
If you request additional services outside of therapy sessions (such as letters, phone calls, or reports to outside parties), these services are not a benefit of your health insurance coverage and will be charged out of pocket, at $125 per hour. Routine coordination, such as updates to your family doctor, are not charged.

Court Services
Latoya Nelson does not provide general court services, such as custody evaluations or fitness for duty assessments. However, if you are a regular therapy client and become involved in a court matter during the course of treatment, your attorney may decide to subpoena your therapist. In this case, court services are billed at $175 per hour. This includes writing reports, preparation time for hearings, meeting with the attorney, waiting time at court and testimony.
Travel time is also billed at $175 per hour. If there is more than one party to the court hearing/trial, the court fees will be paid by whichever party has sent the subpoena. A retainer for the full estimated amount is required at least one week prior to any court appearance. An itemized statement will be provided after the service has been completed, and any underestimate of the fee will then be charged. If the retainer has overestimated the time needed, a refund will be issued.
