About Amanda
Amanda Frazier, MS, LPC, NCC, PMH-C
Owner and Licensed Professional Counselor
I earned my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Syracuse University in 2014. I completed my undergraduate work at Taylor University, where I earned my BA in Psychology. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Michigan. I am board-certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC), as well as certified by Postpartum Support International as a Perinatal Mental Health Professional (PMH-C). I am also qualified to provide supervision to limited licensed counselors.
I offer comprehensive, evidenced-based in-person counseling services for adults in Chelsea, Michigan and Washtenaw County, as well as secure telehealth services for adults anywhere within the State of Michigan. I have specialized training in perinatal mood disorders, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and in the areas of trauma and loss. I have clinical interests in working with mothers and parents who are struggling with their moods related to pregnancy and the postpartum period, infertility issues, and perinatal loss. I also have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and communication concerns. I have worked with individuals and families of all ages and from many backgrounds and belief systems.
I aim to create a safe, supportive environment in therapy by working collaboratively with patients in identifying your goals and strengths. I work to foster resilience by both working through past experiences and exploring ways to manage life’s troubles in the here-and-now. I operate with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT-informed (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) theoretical orientations.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and pets, exploring as many national parks as I can, reading, and creating arts and crafts. I love to adventure and be part of nature as much as possible.

No Surprises Act and
Good Faith Estimates
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost
Your health benefit plan may or may not provide coverage for all of the health care services you are scheduled to receive or the providers providing those services. You may be responsible for the costs of the services that are not covered by your health benefit plan.
Under the No Surprises Act which went into effect January 1, 2022, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. A Good Faith Estimate does not take into account unforeseen circumstances, which may affect the cost of the health care services provided.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
You also have a right to request that the health care services be performed by a provider that participates with your health benefit plan, and may contact your carrier to arrange for those services to be provided at a lower cost and to receive information on in-network providers who can perform the health care services that you need.
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 or call 1-800-985-3059.
Supervision Services
Being a new counselor can feel daunting at times. I am a fully Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and I am qualified to provide supervision services to Limited Licensed Professional Counselors (LLPCs) in the State of Michigan. I abide by the ethical standards set by the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).
If you are looking for supervision for your full licensure, you have come to the right place. Let's work together to strengthen your confidence and enhance your clinical skills.
