Most parents who call The Therapeutic Solution for the first time do not lead with questions about paperwork or scheduling. They lead with money, and that makes sense, since a custody case already asks enough of a family without an unclear bill on top of it. The honest answer to what supervised visitation actually costs in Las Vegas is that there is no single number to give over the phone, because pricing for supervised visitation cost across Clark County depends on which service is ordered, how long each session runs, and how often visits happen, so every family gets a quote built around their own case at intake rather than a rate pulled off a printed list

Quick Facts — Pricing model: quoted individually at intake, not a flat rate – Who pays: each party typically covers their own intake fee unless the court order says otherwise – Visit costs: usually paid by the visiting parent unless ordered differently – General office hours: 9 AM-6 PM Monday-Friday – Respite Care and Safe Exchange hours: 7 AM-7 PM Monday-Friday, weekends by appointment – Two ways in: parent self referral or attorney/DFS professional referral
Why Doesn’t The Therapeutic Solution Publish a Flat Rate?
Parents ask about this early, and it deserves a straightforward answer. A flat rate works for a service that looks the same every time it’s delivered, and supervised visitation does not work that way. High Level Supervision puts a monitor in the room for the entire visit. Medium Level Supervision has a monitor watching more than one family at once, sometimes by video from another room. Therapeutic Supervised Visitation is different entirely, since a licensed mental health professional is actively coaching the parent through the interaction in real time, which makes it a clinical service rather than a monitoring one. Session length varies too, a thirty minute exchange costs differently than a two hour visit, and together these differences are why each quote gets built around a family’s actual service rather than forced through the same number.
The Therapeutic Solution offers supervised visitation, safe exchange, therapeutic supervised visitation, reunification services, respite care, PCIT, brief focused assessments, and parent preparation all under one roof, so a family does not have to explain their situation to five different providers to get five different quotes. One intake conversation covers whichever combination of services actually applies.
What Determines Your Specific Quote?
Four things shape the number a family ends up with, and none of them are guesswork once intake has the details.
The Type of Service Ordered
Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange, Therapeutic Supervised Visitation, Monitored Exchanges, Respite Care, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, Brief Focused Assessments, Reunification Services, and the Parent Preparation Program are each priced on their own, since they require different staffing and, in several cases, different clinical credentials.
Session Length and Frequency
Because most sessions are billed at an hourly session rate, weekly two hour visits add up differently across a month than biweekly one hour visits do. This is usually the single biggest factor in a family’s total cost, more than the supervision level itself.
Level of Supervision Required
High Level, Medium Level, and Supportive Supervision each involve a different amount of direct monitor attention, which is reflected in the rate.
Any Added Court Requirements
If the order calls for specific documentation, a particular reporting format, or a therapist led session, that gets folded into the quote as well.
What Drives the Cost of Each Type of Supervision?
It helps to see the main supervision levels side by side, since the cost of a visitation monitor’s time really comes down to how much of that person’s attention a family’s situation requires.
| Service | Monitor Involvement | Why Cost Can Vary |
| High Level Supervision | Monitor is physically present in the room for the entire visit | Requires the most direct, one on one staff attention |
| Medium Level Supervision | Monitor observes multiple families at once or watches by video from another room | Staff attention is shared across cases, which affects pricing |
| Supportive Supervision | A trained monitor is present and gives active feedback during the visit | Involves more coaching than pure observation, but less clinical work than a therapist led session |
| Therapeutic Supervised Visitation | A licensed mental health professional guides and coaches the parent in real time | Delivered as a clinical service by a licensed provider, which is reflected in the rate |
None of these levels is automatically better than another. The right one is usually decided by the judge’s order, a DFS case plan, or by what intake identifies as clinically appropriate, and cost follows from that decision rather than the other way around.
What Does the Fee Actually Cover?
A quote is not just for the time a monitor spends in the room. Every service includes trained staff, qualified monitors for standard supervision and licensed clinicians for anything clinical, like Therapeutic Supervised Visitation. It also includes documentation, since objective session notes and court recognized records are prepared whenever the case calls for them.
And it includes the space itself, a clean, kid friendly, secure room built for this kind of visit rather than a borrowed office. Families sometimes assume they’re only paying for supervision, when staffing, documentation, and the physical setting are all part of what a quote reflects.
Who Pays for Supervised Visitation, the Parent or Both Parents?
This depends heavily on what the order says, and it’s a fair question to ask plainly rather than guess at, since money worries on top of a custody case are hard enough without confusion about who owes what. Unless a judge has specified otherwise, the general pattern at The Therapeutic Solution is that each party covers their own intake fee, and the visiting parent typically covers the cost of the visits.
Court orders vary, though, and some specify a different split, both parents sharing costs, or one parent covering everything. Because this carries real financial weight, read the exact language of your custody order, and if anything is unclear, ask your attorney to clarify it before intake rather than assume how costs will be divided.
What Happens During the Intake Appointment?
A parent, grandparent, or caregiver comes in, or a referral arrives from an attorney or DFS caseworker, and the team reviews the order or case plan, talks through what the family needs, and identifies which service and supervision level fits. Session length, frequency, and any documentation requirements get built into a quote from there. It takes real time, honestly, and intake is not a five minute phone call.
That can be frustrating when a family just wants an answer, but reviewing the paperwork carefully before the first visit is scheduled is part of what makes the process trustworthy, even when that first appointment doesn’t happen instantly. Many parents also say the first visit itself feels stiff or awkward before it starts to feel normal, and that’s a fair thing to expect rather than something being done wrong.
Is There a Cost Difference Between a Court Referral and a Self Referral?
No, not in how the service itself is priced. What differs is the paperwork on the front end. A professional referral from an attorney, DFS caseworker, or the court usually arrives with a case plan already outlining what’s required, which can make the intake conversation more direct. A parent reaching out without an existing order goes through the same intake process, and the quote is built the same way once the service and supervision level are identified.
One practical difference is worth knowing: when a family comes in without a court or DFS referral specifying the supervision level, The Therapeutic Solution determines the appropriate level during intake, with the exception of Therapeutic Supervised Visitation, which is a clinical determination on its own. Neither path is a shortcut. Both lead to the same kind of individualized number, and both are treated with the same care regardless of how the family found their way in.
What Most Parents Don’t Realize About Visitation Costs
Here’s something that rarely makes it into a general explainer on visitation pricing. Most families assume the supervision level, High versus Medium versus Supportive, is the biggest cost driver. It usually isn’t. Frequency and session length typically move the total more, since a family ordered into weekly two hour visits will see a higher running cost than one at the same supervision level but biweekly one hour sessions, simply because more billable hours are involved over a month. When estimating a schedule’s real cost, ask intake to walk through the math for your specific frequency and length, not just the supervision level. That’s usually where the bigger swing comes from.
What Should You Ask About Cost Before Your First Visit?
A short list of direct questions at intake can save real confusion later, and none of them are awkward to ask.
About the Quoted Rate
Ask exactly what the rate covers, session time alone, or session time plus required documentation.
About Billing and Cancellations
Ask when payment is due and what happens if a visit gets cancelled on short notice.
About Your Specific Court Requirements
Ask whether your order or DFS case plan requires anything beyond the standard service, since added requirements can change the price.
About Scheduling Flexibility
Ask whether evening or weekend sessions are available for the specific service needed. Many services can accommodate evening hours, and weekends are available by appointment, which matters if a family’s schedule doesn’t fit neatly into a weekday window.
What to Do Next
Trying to figure out what supervised visitation will actually cost for a family is stressful enough without guessing from general ranges online, so get a real number instead. Call The Therapeutic Solution at (702) 485-1313 or (702) 441-1983, or email info@tts-nv.com, and let intake walk through the order or case plan directly.
Attorneys and DFS caseworkers referring a client can use the professional referral process, which is built to move quickly once the paperwork is in. The office is centrally located at 4130 N MLK Blvd, Suite A in North Las Vegas, serving families across the entire Las Vegas valley, and the sooner intake has the full picture of a case, the sooner there’s a clear answer instead of one more open question during an already hard season.
Frequently Asked Questions
This varies by plan and by which service is involved, particularly for clinical services like Therapeutic Supervised Visitation or Parent Child Interaction Therapy. Check with the insurance provider directly and confirm coverage during intake.
Sometimes DFS involvement affects how a case is structured or referred, but payment arrangements depend on the specific case plan and jurisdiction. Ask the caseworker directly, since this gets confirmed case by case at intake.
Payment arrangements, including the option to pay electronically, are reviewed with each family during intake so there are no surprises before services begin.
Yes, generally. It’s delivered by a licensed mental health professional providing active, real time coaching, a different kind of service than a monitor observing a standard visit, and pricing reflects that.
Raise this directly with intake as early as possible, and in some cases with an attorney or the court, since visitation schedules are typically set by the presiding judge. The Therapeutic Solution cannot alter what the court has ordered, but discussing cost concerns honestly at intake beats falling behind later.
Billing structures get confirmed during intake for each specific case, since this can depend on the service and the order involved. It’s a reasonable question to ask before the first visit.
Courts sometimes specify a different arrangement than the general default. If an order includes specific language about payment responsibility, that language governs, so it’s worth reviewing with an attorney if anything is unclear.
