Getting to know Lauren Toys
I worked in the field as a mental health RN for 13 years before continuing my education to become a PMHNP, earning my Master's in Nursing from Capella University and specializing in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing at Walden University. I also completed training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Loma Linda University Medical Center. I believe that mental health plays a significant role in a person's overall well-being, including physical health, emotional health, and the ability to navigate life's often challenging hurdles that many silently face. I aspire to continue offering hope and support to anyone seeking to improve their overall well-being using the most up-to-date traditional and holistic practices tailored to meet my clients' needs.
ADHD Treatment Policy: Foresight requires validated, objective ADHD testing before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment. Previous testing and records from outside providers may be accepted following clinical review. If testing is needed, Foresight offers IVA-2 ADHD testing as a self-pay service.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My core philosophy is based on a humanistic approach, which focuses on finding each person’s unique potential and ability to overcome their difficulties through positive personal growth. I use this patient-centered approach to help my clients meet their individual goals by empowering them to focus on their strengths rather than shortcomings. I also encourage my clients to participate in therapy and lifestyle modifications in conjunction with medication management as this has proven to be the most effective method to long-term stability. I work closely with each client to ensure they can access any helpful resources that may benefit their treatment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I use a patient-centered care approach to help my patients meet their individual goals by empowering them to focus on their strengths rather than shortcomings. My core philosophy is based on the humanistic theory, which focuses on finding each person’s unique potential and ability to overcome their difficulties through positive personal growth. I encourage my clients to participate in therapy and lifestyle modifications, in conjunction with medication management, as this has proven to be the most effective method for long-term stability. I work closely with each patient and our entire Foresight Care Team to ensure that they can access any helpful resources that may benefit their treatment in a timely and financially conscious way.
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $300 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 30 minutes
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
By scheduling this appointment, I attest to the following statements as part of my care agreement with Foresight Mental Health:
ADHD Testing: I understand that validated, objective ADHD testing is required before initiating or continuing stimulant treatment at Foresight. I acknowledge that external records must be reviewed and approved, and that Foresight offers IVA-2 testing for a self-pay fee if needed.
Medication Management: I understand that the decision to initiate, continue, or adjust medication will be made by the psychiatric provider following a full clinical assessment and is not guaranteed.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): I am not seeking MAT services (e.g., Suboxone, Methadone) for opioid use or withdrawal, as these services are not offered by Foresight.
Suicidal Thoughts: I confirm I am not experiencing active suicidal thoughts with intent or plan. I understand that if my symptoms indicate a need for a higher level of care, I may be referred to more appropriate services.
Telehealth Access: I have a stable internet connection and a private space for telehealth sessions. I also have a backup option (such as a phone or hotspot) in case of internet issues.
State Residency: I confirm that I currently reside in the state where I am seeking care and will be physically present in that state at the time of my appointments. I intend to remain in that state for at least the next 30 days to support continuity of care.
No-Show & Late Cancellation Policy: I acknowledge Foresight’s 48-hour cancellation policy and understand that late cancellations or no-shows will result in a fee of $125 for therapy or $150 for psychiatry. I understand that repeated violations may result in discharge from care.
Custody Documentation: If seeking care for a minor, I acknowledge my responsibility to provide current and accurate custody documentation if applicable. I understand that providing false or incomplete information may affect the child’s care and result in liability.

Finally someone who didn't judge, have a preconceived notion of what THEY thought I needed, dismiss my concerns or treat me as an obligation. Lauren was super patient, reassuring and made me feel like I was being heard. She is very present in the conversation and views treatment in a holistic way to rebuild a foundation to get me back to a healthy state. Within the first few minutes, I knew I had picked the right person for me- we just connected and its a grounding feeling when you know you aren't going to have to keep re-telling your story over and over to find the right practitioner.
