Amanda Girten, MSW, LCSW
Therapy for Life Transitions, Anxiety, Self-Esteem, and Emotional Wellbeing
Amanda Girten, MSW, LCSW provides in-person therapy in Richmond, Indiana and virtual therapy for individuals across Indiana.
Parents and couples face challenging obstacles that affect their unique bonds.
The overwhelm of managing school, jobs, relationships, and personal needs can lead to difficult emotions - worry, sadness, isolation, and confusion. Dysfunction can develop if we are unsure how to handle these difficult emotions.
One-on-one support enhances the journey of creating healthy relationship dynamics. My goal is to share practical skills that expand communication and understanding, to improve family and intimate relationships.
I employ an eclectic approach, focused on person-centered, therapeutic strategies - dialectical, mindfulness based, cognitive behavioral, and play - within a plan tailor-made for your family and relationships unique needs. Connect with me today to learn how, together, we can lay the foundation for a healthier tomorrow.

You have the right to receive a "Good Faith Estimate" explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don't have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non- emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises

Absolutely. Many people come to therapy feeling unsettled, disconnected, or unsure of what’s wrong. Amanda helps individuals slow down, identify patterns, and build practical strategies for emotional clarity, stability, and forward movement.
-
Amanda’s approach is structured, grounded, and collaborative. She integrates cognitive and behavioral strategies to help individuals understand how thoughts, emotions, and physical stress responses interact in daily life. The focus is on creating real change, not just insight.
-
Megan offers both in-person therapy and virtual therapy for individuals who want support with life transitions, emotional wellness, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and patterns that may be interfering with personal growth.
-
Amanda is an in-network provider for CareSource and an out-of-network provider for all other private insurance plans. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement for a portion of your therapy sessions.
Monthly statements for out-of-network claim reimbursement are available by request.
-
While Amanda is not in-network with all insurance panels, many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits that may reimburse you for a portion of your therapy sessions. This means your insurance could help cover the cost of therapy, even if she is not directly contracted with your plan.
To make the process simple, Amanda uses Thrizer to help check your out-of-network benefits before you begin.
You will know exactly what your estimated cost per session would be upfront, so there are no surprises.
If your plan includes out-of-network coverage, you may only be responsible for a copay or reduced fee rather than the full session rate.
-
Payment is accepted through credit card, debit card, cash, check, HSA, and FSA accounts. Thrizer is also available to help clients use out-of-network benefits when applicable.
