Insurance & Billing What insurance does Stanley Psychology accept? Our practice is able to take several insurances including Blue Cross Blue Shield (PPO plans), Scott & White, Aetna, Medicare, and Humana. Specific providers vary in which insurances they can take. Practicum clinicians are not able to take insurance, but instead offer lower-cost rates to provide services. If you are out of network, we can provide a form for you to submit for reimbursement. Our office is also able to process HSA and FSA cards for payment due to the nature of healthcare services offered. What if my insurance doesn't cover therapy? Our billing office is happy to provide you with the information needed to file for any out-of-network benefits your insurance may provide. You would pay out-of-pocket rates, and any reimbursement would be paid directly to you. What are the session rates? If you are self-pay (not utilizing insurance), Dr. Stanley’s initial session fee is $275 and follow-up therapy appointments are $200. Psychological evaluations typically range from $1,100 - $1,500 depending on what is being assessed. Additional work Dr. Stanley may engage in, including consulting and engaging in court proceedings, is billed at her $200 hourly rate. These rates are influenced by location of practice, education, and experience. Fees for LPAs are dependent upon their level of practice and have an initial session fee of $150-225 and follow-up therapy appointment fees of $125-$175. Psychological evaluations typically range from $900 - $1,200 depending on what is being assessed. Additional work by LPA clinicians, including consulting and engaging in court proceedings, is billed at their hourly rate of $125-$175. These rates are influenced by location of practice, education, and experience. We are also able to offer a sliding scale through clinicians in training. Practicum clinicians have a session rate of $2 5 per session and clinical residents have a fee of $50. They offer reduced cost psychological evaluations, under the supervision of Dr. Stanley, for $200-$600 depending on what concern is bei ng assessed. What is Stanley Psychology's cancellation policy? Appointments require 48 business hours’ notice for cancellation without penalty. Appointments cancelled between 24-48 business hours prior to the appointment will be charged a fee of $100 to your card on file. Appointments cancelled within 24 business hours of the appointment time and appointments unattended without notice will result in the full session charge ($125-$200 depending on clinician level) charged to your card on file. A card on file is required to book appointments. Business hours are defined as Monday – Friday, 8am – 5pm central, excluding federal holidays, Christmas Eve, and the Friday following Thanksgiving. We want to provide full transparency for this policy. In the mental health field, it is common to charge the full session fee for cancellations and no-shows. This is because a one-hour block of time is reserved for your appointment. In the medical field, offices typically have a cancelation policy of a lower amount, but it is usually based on a 15-minute appointment with the provider rather than one hour. Due to their booking strategies, they can also overbook to account for cancellations due to the nature of their session times; in mental health, we cannot overbook to plan for cancellations and instead the hour remains open. Session fees are dictated by education level, license, and location of practicing. For doctoral-level providers like Dr. Stanley, the Dallas/Fort Worth area hourly rates are $175+. Masters-level providers (such as licensed professional counselors) typically have lower hourly rates, which likely means lower costs for late cancellations. Although we love what we do, it is still a business! We recognize this hourly rate may be shocking to some, particularly who utilize their insurance for sessions. However, please remember the fee is based on education and experience, and also covers all operating costs of the business. For clinicians in training: Practicum clinicians and clinical residents require at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellation without penalty. Otherwise, their full session fee of $25 (practicum) or $50 (resident) is charged to the card on file. MORE QUESTIONS? CONTACT US

Testimonials Scroll down to view the incredible feedback Dr. Stanley and Stanley Psychology has received from patients and fellow professional clinicians. PATIENT TESTIMONIALS "I have experienced anxiety and depression for many years. I have seen many therapists and nobody has been able to help me ... until I found Dr. Stanley. I’ve been in her care for over 8 months. During that time, Dr. Stanley has brought light and hope into my frequently dark world. She has taught me how to deal with difficulties when they arise, and provided the tools to deal appropriately with life’s challenges and quickly recover. As a result my dark despair has lifted, and I finally have hope for a much happier and brighter life. I see Dr. Stanley virtually on my computer screen which is very convenient as I don’t have to travel to and from her office. Dr. Stanley is a kind and caring person, she listens, she helps. She has the highest credentials ….. and it shows. Dr. Stanley is, quite simply, the very best of the best!" "I have suffered from depression which at times has been completely debilitating. When I first met Dr. Stanley I wasn’t sure if she would be able to understand my issues since I am much older than she is. But, I needed a therapist and decided to give it a shot. That was a great decision! In the time that I have been seeing Dr. Stanley she has helped me redo my thinking patterns. I used to just spiral down when stress hit me, thinking there was no way out and that it would just get worse. Now I realize that Dr. Stanley has been guiding me to change my thinking patterns to more positive and healthy ways of dealing with life’s hard times. I am much more able to handle stress by thinking differently when the challenge first arises. I come up with healthier ways to look at the situation and come up with healthier alternatives. I am not “cured” and may never be, but I am so much happier and healthier than ever before. If you are looking for a very competent and caring therapist I definitely recommend that you give Dr. Stanley a call." "Dr. Amanda Stanley has been a godsend to me. Up until about a month ago, I was in a very emotionally abusive job. I was referred to Dr. Stanley who has helped me to realize that I AM a good and caring person. I was always doubting myself and feeling I was worth nothing to others. I could not sleep or eat, and dreaded going to a job that I once loved. After just a few sessions with Dr. Stanley, I realized I am a better person, have a lot to offer others and can begin believing in myself. She has helped me find the good in myself. She is kind, soft-spoken and is the greatest listener I have ever known. I will continue seeing Dr. Stanley, as it uplifts me more than anything else. I am forever grateful to have met her!" "I started seeing Amanda in May 2018. Our first meeting was not your typical 1st time visit. I had a major crisis (in my eyes) about seeing a family member in the next week. She calmed me down, gave me excellent advice and I survived. Now, years later, Amanda has been fantastic. She listens to everything I have to say and then explains everything I need to know about how to live my life without guilt, confusion, anger and helps me navigate to becoming a better version of myself. I’ve been to several counselors, and Dr. Amanda Stanley has been my life savior and I am forever grateful for the things she has taught me and I look forward to the many lessons she will help me with in the future." "I was lost and now I'm found. I fought our Department of Veterans affairs for over 13 years. What I was telling them was true, but the words that I was using were emotional. Dr. Amanda Stanley saved my life. She took an enormous amount of her time to test me, to learn who I am and to understand what combat in Viet Nam had done to my brain. She then compared those findings to world knowledge and put ink to paper in words that the VA could understand. After years of near death desires – the VA understood the clinical effects that over 300 days in combat had on my life. The VA granted me Service Connection for everything that she examined me for. I have referred other Viet Nam Combat Veterans to Dr. Stanley with the same results." I was very satisfied with my experience in therapy with Veronica! feel like our discussions led to deeper understanding of my anxiety, but also the root of it and how to cope in healthy ways. We had great talks about the brain, too, and I loved learning more about how the brain works in relation to anxiety. What we talked about were things I could relate to all areas of my life, too, and I've been able to share with others around me! Veronica did a great job of validating my feelings and anxiety. She had the perfect combination of allowing me to feel comfortable and validated, while also challenging me in gentle ways that I know was really helpful. I felt very comfortable and safe and never felt like I needed to hold anything back. I felt that I could be honest and vulnerable in each of our sessions. I'm very thankful for therapy. A year ago, I was in a place where I thought I would have this debilitating anxiety forever. I am a completely different person now and have grown immensely and am so excited to go through each day without the lingering anxiety I dealt with before. "One candle wipes out darkness. One step can start a journey. One voice can speak with wisdom. One life can make a difference….this is Dr. Stanley! Dr. Stanley has demonstrated to me that consistent hard work leads to success. She is kind and caring, and has helped me beyond measure in the toughest of times." "​Dr. Stanley, thank you for your professional assessment and diagnosis. The judge issued a favorable decision and order of 100% Service connection for post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. It is very clear that your report and diagnosis was a major factor in the judge finding in our favor. Without your professional evaluation, I am convinced all appeals would have been continually denied. Your patience, procedures, and detailed evaluations were excellent. You are a first class professional and psychologist." "Your encouragement and constant reminder to not put added pressure on myself to control every outcome has drastically changed my outlook on life. I am forever grateful for you seeing the need to change for the betterment of my mental health and pushing me to go after it." Morgan Brown has always been so patient with my kids and does well to connect and engage with them. "I cannot thank you enough for walking with me through the most difficult journey. You show me over and over that you will continually give your all & do everything in your power to help me, however you can, for as long as I need. I can’t explain how much you’ve helped me live a more normal life!" PROFESSIONAL TESTIMONIALS "I’ve had the pleasure to work with Dr. Stanley since 2018. The success of individuals participating in our program is dependent on competent, complete, and thorough assessments – Amanda has provided us with above-and-beyond competent, complete and thorough evaluations. Her level of knowledge, skill and expertise in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use disorders & mental health/personality conditions is exceptional and what I consider the “gold standard” in our field. Her report writing skills are fantastic and she always maintains excellent communication with me regarding our mutual clients. Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr. Stanley to provide the highest level of evaluation with integrity, attention to detail and professionalism.” Roland Rodriguez, LCDC, TPAPN Case Manager ​"Dr. Stanley is a highly skilled evaluator, diverse, and knowable on both DSM-V and ASAM criteria. As a professional in the field, Dr. Stanley has always been giving of her knowledge and expertise and as a case manager her services is greatly valued." Corinne Hernandez, MS, LCDC, TPAPN Case Manager I completed my Master’s-level Practicum and Advanced Practicum hours with Dr. Stanley at her private practice. During my time at Stanley Psychology, I learned a lot from Dr. Stanley’s previous experience and expertise in criminal psychology, substance abuse disorders, Veteran assessments for disability, testing/assessment including report writing, and therapy. It was such a delight being able to observe Dr. Stanley’s unique approach to every client based on case and client needs. I learned more about professional “tough love” with clients that tend to deceive or deny personal shortcomings. I LOVED IT. Dr. Stanley and I still maintain a positive relationship to this day.

Virtual Therapy What is online therapy? Virtual Therapy Online therapy, also known as remote therapy, virtual therapy, or teletherapy, is therapy conducted when the patient is in a different place than the clinician. This method has become increasingly popular and all Stanley Psychology clinicians are able to offer online therapy services. Why choose online therapy? M any people choose remote services for convenience, time, and comfort. By offering online therapy, any people are able to access therapy when barriers are present otherwise, such as time constraints in the workday, family obligations, or location. At Stanley Psychology, we offer in-person appointments in Mansfield, Texas, virtual appointments, or a hybrid approach in which patients can choose to attend virtually or in person at any point in time. ​ Does online therapy work as well as in-person? Research demonstrates that online therapy can be as effective as in-person for many concerns! If your clinician believes you may benefit more from in-person services, that recommendation will be discussed during your course of treatment. How does online therapy work? Remote services offered through Stanley Psychology have similarities amongst clinicians, including privacy, HIPAA compliance, and video or phone offerings. You will be provided a link to access your session prior to your appointment time. Do I have to do online or can I attend in person? You can absolutely attend in-person. In fact, we would love to have you in the office! However, because of the popularity of remote services, some clinicians have remote days of work where they are not physically present in-office. Your clinician will discuss availability during your initial session. What states can you practice virtual therapy in? Dr. Stanley is fully licensed in Texas and Kansas, which means all clinicians supervised by Dr. Stanley can offer services there. In addition, we are part of the PSYPACT program, which allows for interstate practice in 39 states and counting! Thus, there are more states that we CAN see patients in versus not! The PSYPACT map is regularly added to, therefore it is best to reference this information to determine state-specific questions. MORE QUESTIONS? CONTACT US

PROUD SUPPORTER OF THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONS AND EFFORTS ANIMAL SHELTERS & RESCUES MENTAL HEALTH MILITARY VETERANS AT-RISK CHILDREN STUDENT SUPERVISEES Stanley Psychology is an advocate for several charities and community efforts, and is honored to provide thousands of dollars in donations and time each year. Scroll below to view some of the causes closest to our hearts. ANIMAL SHELTERS & RESCUES It only takes a minute of browsing the Stanley Psychology website to see that Dr. Stanley is massive dog lover. Although she loves all dogs, she is particularly fond of the dogs who have been rejected and need a second chance for love. Two of her dogs were discarded puppies, abandoned in the road (Riddle) and a shelter (Roux) days after Christmas. Roxy was another shelter animal, who was brought in as a stray and was days away from being euthanized. Raider may have the most dramatic story of all: he and his littermates were abandoned outside during the February 2021 Texas freeze at a mere three months old, and a rescue organized a 13-hour drive each way to get the dogs to a safe place. All that to say, two of the charities we support regularly are the Texas Sporting Breed Rescue (TSBR) and our local Mansfield, Texas animal shelter. TSBR is the rescue group that saved the lives of Raider and his littermates, which we are forever grateful for, and the local Mansfield community animal shelter is where Roux briefly called home after she was surrendered. Stanley Psychology takes pride in supporting the needs of these animals who are waiting for their forever homes, and highly recommends supporting these two groups in their missions. Texas Sporting Breed Rescue Website Mansfield Animal Shelter Website MENTAL HEALTH As a mental health clinic, Stanley Psychology has a passion for supporting mental health efforts. Although there are several nonprofit mental health organizations that Dr. Stanley has supported throughout the years, two of her current nonprofit passions are the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Texas (NAMI Texas) and the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA). NAMI is an organization that focuses on the improvement of those impacted by various mental health conditions through education, support, and advocacy. For over 40 years, NAMI has been a beacon of help and hope, fighting for more research, better education, bolder advocacy, and broader public awareness of mental health.DBSA is a national organization that assists those with mood disorders with advocacy and support, including a large network of in-person and online support groups. This specific nonprofit organization is very close to Dr. Stanley's heart, as she donates in honor of a dear family friend who was lost in 2022. She was a second mother to Dr. Stanley since she was a child, and kindly provided additional support to her after the loss of her own mother in 2018. As a bonus, she is one of the few people Dr. Stanley has met that matched her love of dogs! Stanley Psychology is proud to support DBSA in her honor. If you would like to support the continued awareness of mental health, please consider visiting the below websites. NAMI Texas Website DBSA Website MILITARY VETERANS Stanley Psychology is a proud supporter of military veterans. After transitioning from military service, many veterans face challenges adjusting to civilian life, and therapy often plays a key role in helping them to reclaim their mental and emotional freedom. Despite industry attempts to increase access to appropriate mental health care, many military veterans continue to face barriers to receiving treatment. In an effort to address this significant issue, Stanley Psychology offers reduced costs and pro bono services through the office for evaluation services and treatment. We network with local veterans groups to ensure individuals are aware of these services and are given the opportunity to receive help. Dr. Stanley is particularly passionate about providing psychological evaluations to those going through the VA evaluation process for service-related benefits. We have had several cases where veterans who were previously denied benefits through the VA process were able to gain favorable decisions for compensation benefits through our evaluations and treatment. Please reach out to the office if you or someone you know could benefit from these services. ​ Click Here to Contact Us! AT-RISK CHILDREN The Texas Pythian Home for Children is a nonprofit organization that provides safe and stable environments for children. These children are typically from families suffering from homelessness, unemployment, drug/alcohol addictions, and incarceration, and as a result are unable to care for the child. This group home is licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services and is located in Weatherford, Texas. This home is of particular interest for Dr. Stanley for two reasons. First, Dr. Stanley's mother had a passion for assisting this home, and after her death the family requested donations for this home in her honor in lieu of flowers. Second, after working in prison environments and treating countless individuals with drug and alcohol addiction, Dr. Stanley has seen firsthand the impact these issues can have on a family, and support for innocent children in these circumstances is of the utmost importance. Texas Pythian Home for Children Website STUDENT SUPERVISEES Dr. Stanley donates countless hours of her time to assist in the training of Stanley Psychology’s student clinicians. Clinical supervision gives students firsthand experience with a trained professional and prepares them for their own professional career as they work alongside their supervisor to identify their strengths and opportunities. This process enables students to improve their own clinical performance, treatment effectiveness, and patient care. Because these pre-licensed clinicians require supervised experience as a requirement of licensure, many licensed supervisors charge their hourly rate for the time training the students. However, Dr. Stanley is passionate about training our future clinicians, and offers these services as part of her pro bono work, saving students in training thousands of dollars. Due to this policy, Dr. Stanley is able to engage in an application and interview process with potential trainees, and be selective in choosing student clinicians for a training year. Dr. Stanley believes we only accept the highest quality students, and, as a result, can offer top-tier services to our patients through their work. Click Here to Contact Us!
