Dr. Amanda Stanley, Ph.D, L.P. and her staff of clinicians provide in-person and remote diagnostic evaluation & therapy in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond with an office located in Mansfield, Texas. Stanley Psychology treats a variety of conditions for patients of all ages, both individually and in group settings. 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. 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. They offer reduced cost psychological evaluations, under the supervision of Dr. Stanley, for $200-$400 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 is charged to the card on file. MORE QUESTIONS? CONTACT US

Dr. Amanda Stanley, Ph.D, L.P. and her staff of clinicians provide in-person and remote diagnostic evaluation & therapy in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond with an office located in Mansfield, Texas. Stanley Psychology treats a variety of conditions for patients of all ages, both individually and in group settings. Frequently Asked Questions What is a psychologist? Psychologist, Psychiatrist, Psychotherapist, Psychiatric Nurse, Licensed Psychiatric Associate…there are a lot of similar terms in our field! In a nutshell, a psychologist has achieved a doctoral degree (Ph.D., Psy.D., or Ed.D.) studying the science of human behavior. A psychologist is required to earn a doctorate, and as such have one of the highest levels of education in mental health care. They often surpass ten years of education, in addition to post-doctoral work under supervision to meet rigorous licensing requirements. What is a psychological evaluation? Psychological evaluation is a large part of a psychologist’s training. Licensed Psychological Associates (LPAs) also uniquely receive psychological testing training, which is not a part of most masters-level mental health training programs and licenses. Simply stated, a psychological evaluation involves clinical interviewing, review of collateral data, and various forms of psychological testing which is determined by the referral reason. Anyone who begins the psychological evaluation process with Dr. Stanley hears the same statement: that she dislikes the term “psychological testing” as it is innately anxiety provoking. To simplify the process: clinical interviewing involves asking questions to a client and others if applicable (e.g., parents, medical providers, etc.) regarding psychosocial history and current concerns/impairment. A testing plan is created by Dr. Stanley to assess the clinical concern. This sometimes includes responding to true/false questions, rating scales, and various interactive tasks. Any appropriate collateral data is reviewed, such as medical and therapy records. These pieces of information and reviewed and interpreted, and a clinical evaluation report is written. These reports typically range from 10-20 pages, depending on the reason for referral. This information is typically used to aid in diagnosis and planning treatment or other services. Many evaluations are able to be completed completely virtually, although some require portions if in-person testing. These specifications will be communicated to you when booking. How do I know if I need therapy? As a mental health clinic, we are inherently biased...but we believe just about anybody can benefit from therapy! Whether you are going through a difficult life stressor, have ongoing concerns, or want to develop insight into yourself, therapy can be of great assistance. We all struggle at times, and therapy can help you navigate a variety of life issues. How long does it take to feel better with therapy? This is a difficult question to answer. In our field, sometimes people begin experiencing symptoms relief simply by contacting a provider and making an appointment; that is, knowing help is coming has an impact itself. Other patients describe relief after the first session, once they get an initial read on if the provider is a good fit for them. As far as improvement once treatment begins, this largely depends on symptom severity and other factors of a patient’s clinical presentation. As a general estimate, most patients will report some improvement within ten sessions, and many significantly earlier. However, therapy can be an ongoing process for months or even years, depending on the patient’s needs and wants, as progress continues. What do I do in an emergency? Should a mental health emergency occur, immediate intervention is required. Not only is crisis management a piece of a patient's treatment when indicated, but they should also be aware of options during potential mental health emergencies: - If suicidal, call 911 or report to the emergency room immediately - 988 is the national suicide and crisis lifeline, available 24/7 During any suicide/crisis intervention, the individual should be continuously observed and not be left alone until professionally assessed and recommendations provided. Importantly, Stanley Psychology is an outpatient clinic and does not utilize on-call providers. As such, although we would like to be notified when our patients experience a crisis, this notification should only occur after emergent help is sought and the patient is stabilized. I’m a masters or doctoral psychology student and am interested in a practicum placement with Stanley Psychology. How should I proceed? Thank you for your interest! Dr. Stanley supervises all practicum students directly; please call the office or email her directly to initiate the interview process (dr.stanley@stanleypsychology.com). If you want to talk to current practicum students to inquire about their experiences, feel free to contact them- email addresses can be found by their profile in the “About” section. Please note Dr. Stanley does not accept psychiatric nurse practitioner students for practicum due to requirements and office limitations. Why should I choose Dr. Stanley and Stanley Psychology? Patients frequently describe Dr. Stanley as warm, compassionate, open-minded, and appropriately direct. She has a strong track record of building lasting therapeutic relationships—whether with individuals new to therapy or those who have previously struggled to find the right fit. Dr. Stanley is also committed to training her team to reflect the same supportive and effective approach. To hear directly from patients, we invite you to visit the testimonials section of our website. Click here to learn more about Dr. Stanley. Which therapist will I see? How can I tell if they're a good match for me? When you call, our Patient Care Coordinator will discuss several factors with you, including availability and specialties of our clinicians, to help you find a great fit. If you have a particular clinician in mind, you are able to request them. Why should I see a practicum student at Stanley Psychology for treatment or evaluation? Even before Dr. Stanley began employing her own practicum clinicians at Stanley Psychology, she often recommended the services of student clinicians associated with local universities. This recommendation is primarily influenced by two factors: Most importantly, because these student clinicians are under heavy supervision, this is oftentimes some of the best treatment and evaluation one can find. Not only are patients exposed to their treating clinician, who is heavily emerged in the education of psychology at the time of treatment, but a licensed supervisor is closely overseeing their work. Secondly, because these individuals are pre-license, fees are often far more affordable than licensed providers, opening access to individuals who may have financial difficulty seeking services. I've had issues with "fit" with past providers. How do I know Stanley Psychology clinicians will be any different? Not to sound pessimistic, but you don’t! Although we pride ourselves in patient retention, our psychological research consistently points to rapport as being the number one predictor of successful outcome in therapy. We realize that our personalities cannot possibly be a perfect fit for everyone! If there are any concerns with fit, we encourage patients to discuss apprehensions with their clinician- if we are not the ones to help you, we absolutely still want you to get help, and we may know someone in our network to refer you to. Do you prescribe medication? Although psychologists have a foundational understanding of psychopharmacology as part of training, psychologists are not able to prescribe medication in Texas. For medication, we typically refer to psychiatrists, who hold a medical doctorate (MD or DO) and prescribe psychotropic medications. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (NPs)are also medical providers trained specifically in psychotropic medication. Additionally, some primary care providers will also prescribe psychotropic medication, depending on complexity of the patient and training with psychotropics. Does the office offer free phone consultations before making an appointment? Although many mental health offices utilize this practice, we have found that it is hard to gain significant benefit or get a read on therapeutic fit from a 10-15 minute phone call. As a result, the ultimate decision of having a phone consultation is up to the individual clinician. Although Dr. Stanley does not provide these calls, many of the staff at Stanley Psychology do. Regardless of if you have a consult call or not, our Patient Care Coordinator will ask for referral information and be able to answer questions about our practice. At the first appointment with your clinician, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and if you decide your clinician is not a good fit, we can provide you with alternatives, including referring to local providers who may be a better fit for you. It is important to remember that by making an appointment, you are signing up just for that- one appointment! There is no additional commitment if you do not want to continue. I am looking for an evaluation - what do I need to know? We conduct a wide variety of evaluations, including for general mental health, substance abuse, pre-surgery bariatric, veteran's benefits, behavioral concerns, learning disabilities, adult and childhood ADHD, and various forensic evaluations for individuals involved with the legal system. Dr. Stanley is an approved evaluator for several monitoring groups and boards, including the Texas Peer Assistance Program for Nurses (TPAPN), the Texas Board of Nursing (TBON), and the Texas Physician Health Program (TxPHP). Our Patient Care Coordinator can discuss various factors for evaluations and answer questions you may have, including if your evaluation can be conducted remotely, insurance benefits, scheduling factors, clinician options, and report rush availability. What is therapy with Stanley Psychology like? Whether in person or remote, therapy sessions typically last between 50-55 minutes. Your provider will discuss what to expect with timing at your first session. What should I expect at my first therapy appointment? During your intake session with your provider, you will first be thoroughly informed of limits to confidentiality. Then, an open discussion on what brings you in, followed by gathering information about your psychosocial history, will occur. This process can sometimes take up to three sessions, in order to be thorough and best build your treatment plan. Most importantly, this is an interactive process between clinician and patient. Does what we talk about in therapy remain confidential? Your confidentiality is vital in therapy- you need to feel safe talking with us! There are a few limitations of confidentiality, including for child, elderly, or disabled person abuse, immediate threat to life, and court orders. These limits will be thoroughly discussed at your first session in order to have a solid understanding of any confidentiality issues. Where will my sessions take place? If your session is in-office, we are proud to be located in historic downtown Mansfield, Texas, about one block off of Main Street. The address is 108 N 1st Ave, Mansfield TX 76063. Look for the charming blue house with red doors! The area is walkable with residential and commercial businesses nearby. Feel free to shop or eat while downtown! We also offer remote sessions, and you will be provided a link to access your session prior to your appointment. Do I need to see a provider with a doctorate? Many individuals seeking treatment are focused on finding a doctor, and thus limit their provider search to psychologists. But is this necessary? This answer may sound shocking coming from our office considering that Dr. Stanley is a psychologist, but the answer is a resounding no! There are a lot of masters-level providers who are fully equipped, trained, and licensed to provide psychotherapy. Our Licensed Psychological Associates, or LPAs, are a vital part of our practice and offer both therapy and evaluation services. Click here to learn more about LPAs. MORE QUESTIONS?

Stanley Psychology treats a variety of conditions for patients of all ages, both individually and in group settings. 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? Note this is dependent upon the specific license of the provider. For LPAs and practicum students, the patient must be physically located in Texas to engage in remote sessions. Dr. Stanley is fully licensed in Texas and Kansas. Additionally, she is part of the PSYPACT program, which allows for interstate practice in 42 states and counting! Thus, there are more states that Dr. Stanley CAN see patients in versus not! However, this does not extend to the other clinicians in the office, as this is reserved for doctoral-level psychologists involved in the PSYPACT. The PSYPACT map is regularly added to, therefore it is best to reference this information to determine state-specific questions. MORE QUESTIONS? CONTACT US
