Getting started
The Registration Process
Everything you need to know to begin services with The Therapeutic Solution — what the court order should include, who pays, and how intake works, step by step.
Before anything else
All services begin with a court order.
We do not take cases without one. The order should specify two things clearly so we can serve your family without needing you to return to court.
How much visitation?
It is preferable not to list specific days and times — as our Therapeutic Supervised Visitation providers are Mental Health Professionals, we may not be able to accommodate them. Instead, state how much visitation is allowed: e.g. "Two 2-hour visits a week."
Who pays for our services?
- DFS clients are covered by the Clark County Department of Family Services.
- For all other systems, if the order does not specify who pays, the visiting parent pays for all visits. Each parent is responsible for their own intake fee.
Step by step
How to start the process
One or both parties begin by contacting The Therapeutic Solution. Here’s what happens from first contact through your intake appointment.
Contact The Therapeutic Solution
One or both parties reach out by completing our Registration Form. You'll receive an email confirming we received your information within 24 hours.
DFS clients — coordinate through your worker
For DFS clients, your DFS worker and our scheduling team facilitate the scheduled time to meet.
DFS referrals — coordinate visit dates
If you are a referral from DFS, it is up to you, your worker, and the caregiver to coordinate visitation dates and times. We are responsible for facilitating the needs of the visit.
Court referrals — supply us with the order
If you are a referral from the court, it is your responsibility to supply us with the order. The court or your attorney will not contact us on your behalf, nor supply a copy of the order.
Receive and complete your packet
Upon receipt of your contact information, a packet is sent to each party. Complete the questionnaire and contact our office to schedule your intake appointment.
Therapeutic Supervised Visits — referral required
These visits must be sent over by referral from your worker or the judge. Each party must complete an intake interview separately before visits can start.
Attend your intake interview
Bring the completed questionnaire and a copy of the signed court order. Because adult information is discussed, children may not be present during this time.
Intake payment. Payment of $85 for the intake ($170 if you are responsible for paying for both parties) is due at the time of your appointment.
