Questions Before You Schedule

Find answers about our approach, appointments, fees, and policies.

What is pastoral counseling?

Pastoral counseling combines biblical guidance, prayer, and practical support for your life and relationships. Sessions focus on your concerns and goals. As Dr. Tony prays about your situation, he also incorporates prophetic insight into the guidance he offers.

Do I need to attend ALCC?

No. Church attendance or membership is not required to schedule a session.

Can couples or family members attend together?

Yes. Sessions are available for individuals, couples, and families. When scheduling, let us know who will attend so we can help you choose the right appointment.

What are the cancellation and rescheduling policies?

If you need to cancel or change your appointment, contact us as soon as possible.

How is personal information handled?

Everything you tell your counselor is confidential. We don't cooperate or work with any insurance companies so nothing needs to be shared, reported or filed with them.

If you wish for any of your information or records to be released to a third party, please let us know. We will send you an authorization form that you will need to fill out and sign before your information can be released.

Do you accept insurance?

We do not submit claims to Medicare, Medicaid, or private health insurance companies. You are responsible for paying your session fees directly.

If you hope to request reimbursement from your insurer, check with your plan before scheduling. Benefits for traditional mental health counseling do not automatically mean that pastoral counseling with your provider is covered. Eligibility can depend on the service, the provider’s credentials, and your plan’s requirements.

Ask your insurance company:

Does my plan cover pastoral counseling with Dr. Tony E. Medley Sr., given his credentials?
Do I have applicable out-of-network mental health benefits?
What is my deductible, and how much have I met?
Are there limits on the number of covered sessions?
How much would my plan reimburse per eligible session?
Is a referral or prior authorization required?
What documentation would I need to submit a claim?

Coverage and reimbursement are not guaranteed. Please confirm eligibility with your insurer and ask our office what documentation is available before booking.

What does it cost?

Individual and couples sessions are $110 per session.

Are sessions online or in person?

Both options are available. In-person sessions take place at 14 Johnson Avenue, Manchester, GA 31816. Online sessions allow you to join from a private space using the connection details provided for your appointment.

How long is a session?

Yes. Sessions are available for individuals, couples, and families. When scheduling, let us know who will attend so we can help you choose the right appointment.
