Faith based counseling and life coaching
Amanda Lindsey, MA, LPC
NEW CLIENTS
Starting counseling with Magnolia Grace
There are two ways to begin. If you'd like to talk first, Amanda offers a free 15-minute consultation over Zoom.
If you already know you're ready, you can book a full session and start there.
Neither one is the wrong choice.
GETTING STARTED
How the process works
1
Free consultation
Fifteen minutes over Zoom to share what's brought you here and ask whatever you want to ask. No cost, no commitment. If you'd rather skip it and begin with a full session, you can.
2
Booking and insurance
Therapy is scheduled on Tava, whether you're paying directly or using insurance. Tava checks your plan while you book, so you know where you stand before anything is confirmed. For coaching or pre-marital counseling, reach out through the contact form and Amanda will find a time with you herself.
3
Intake forms
Your forms arrive by email once you've booked. They need to be filled out and sent back before your first session, so give yourself a few minutes with them.
4
Your first session
A conversation, not an interview. Amanda listens for what you need, and you both get a feel for the fit. From there you set a cadence together: weekly, every other week, or something else.
FEES
What sessions cost
THERAPY AND COACHING
$90
Per 50-minute session. Individual counseling, anxiety and depression, and trauma can be paid directly or billed to insurance. Life coaching is direct pay only.
SYMBIS PRE-MARITAL
$150
Per session, direct pay. Insurance doesn't cover pre-marital counseling. How many sessions a couple needs varies, so it's worth asking during the consultation.
Using insurance for therapy? What you pay depends on your plan, and Tava works that out with you during booking.
INSURANCE
Using insurance
Therapy sessions are scheduled on Tava, and that's also where insurance is handled. When you book there, Tava checks your specific plan and shows you your coverage before you confirm anything.
Coverage varies plan to plan, which is why this page can't tell you what you'll owe. Tava can.
If your plan isn't covered, Amanda can provide a superbill on request. You submit that to your insurer yourself, and some plans will reimburse part of the cost as out-of-network care.
Life coaching and pre-marital counseling aren't covered by insurance. Both are direct pay, and Amanda schedules them with you directly once you've reached out through the contact form.
POLICIES
Cancellations
Amanda asks for 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or move a session. Anything later than that is billed at the full rate.
Good faith estimate
If you're uninsured or paying directly, federal law gives you the right to a written estimate of what your care will cost before it starts. Amanda provides one on request, and you can also ask about cost during the free consultation.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Ready to begin?
If you still have questions, the consultation is the easiest place to ask them. If you're ready to start therapy, Tava will get you on the calendar. For coaching or pre-marital counseling, send a message and Amanda will set up a time with you.
Tava is the secure platform Amanda uses for scheduling therapy. It opens in a new tab, and it checks your insurance while you book.
