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. 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. MANSFIELD MOM WALK Stanley Psychology is proud to partner with Mansfield Mom Walk, a local community dedicated to supporting mothers through connection, encouragement, and shared experiences. What began as a simple walk has grown into a welcoming space where moms can meet, build friendships, and find the support system many women need during the journey of motherhood. Through regular walks, playdates, and community gatherings, Mansfield Mom Walk creates opportunities for mothers and their children to connect in a relaxed, low-pressure environment. Many of these events are free and designed to help moms form real friendships, share life experiences, and feel less alone during the early years of parenting. In partnership with Stanley Psychology, the organization also helps support maternal mental health by raising awareness and helping fund counseling for mothers facing financial hardship, particularly those experiencing postpartum mental health challenges. Together, we are working to ensure that no mom has to navigate motherhood or mental health struggles without a supportive community behind her. Mansfield Mom Walk Website Join Our Group Therapy for Moms! 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, three of the charities we support regularly are the Texas Sporting Breed Rescue (TSBR), the Second Chance Dog Rescue in Mansfield, 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 groups in their missions. Texas Sporting Breed Rescue Website Mansfield Animal Shelter Website Second Chance Dog Rescue 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!
- Insurance & Billing | Stanley Psychology
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

(Good Boy) Raider Burreaux Stanley is our 45-pound bundle of love and goofiness. As proof of the Stanley love of sports, Raider is named after Adam's Red Raiders of Texas Tech and Joe Burrow ("Burreaux" is the Cajun way), a legend in Louisiana. Raider is a mix-of-mixes (our favorite kind) and the youngest pup in our pack. Raider has completed two initial trainings and is working towards certification as a therapy dog. Although a bit shy at first, when he warms up, he brings a calming presence. During remote sessions, Raider has strong instincts with when he makes an appearance, often popping up when hearing a patient emotional. If you see him, feel free to say hi! Raider spends his free time lounging on the couch, playing football fetch with his dad, and following his mama around. If Amanda says “let’s go do the therapy, buddy!” he runs with excitement to the remote therapy area and gets comfortable in his spot. I have seen many therapists and nobody has been able to help me...until I found Dr. Amanda Stanley. Dr. Stanley has brought light and hope into my frequently dark world. I finally have hope for a much happier and brighter life.
