At Creating Families Together, Inc., she provided school-based therapy to young children in the Compton Unified School District, using play therapy, CBT, and family systems interventions with English- and Spanish-speaking families. She collaborated closely with parents, teachers, and school staff to support emotional regulation, behavior, and developmental growth.

Across settings, Nina has developed a commitment to comprehensive, evidence-based care that honors the complexity of each client's story—recognizing how factors like development, early attachment, cultural identity, health, and relationships shape mental health and resilience.
Payment
While Mighty Village does not accept insurance, we are happy to provide you with appropriate documentation and properly coded forms for you to submit to your insurance company. Cash or check are accepted for payment. Our office can put your credit card on file for a one-time or recurring fee.
Insurance Reimbursement
Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance or employee benefit plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
- •Do I have mental health benefits?
- •What is my deductible and has it been met?
- •How many sessions per calendar year does my plan cover?
- •How much does my plan cover for an out-of-network provider?
- •What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
In many cases, reimbursement depends on the diagnosis. Please keep in mind that what insurance companies consider to be a percentage of reimbursement for "usual and customary" fees are not based on true charges.
All fees are payable at the time of the visit. Our office will provide a statement for your insurance company upon request. We will not directly bill your insurance company. You are responsible for all billing and collection of reimbursements from your insurance company.
Cancellation Policy
If you do not show up for your scheduled appointment, and you have not notified us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session as booked.
