Getting to know Lauren Magana

I was inspired to become a social worker after watching my mother find her passion in hospice work. I began working with the LGBTQ+ population in Atlanta serving unhoused youth in their journey towards identity building, stability, and life skills. I shifted gears when a skilled nursing facility was in need of a long term care social worker. My residents became family, many of them needing a hand to hold during some of the most trying phases of their lives. From there, I worked for an elder care law firm and used my knowledge of geriatrics, life changes, and the insurance and Medicaid system to guide families alongside the attorneys to prepare their estate planning. While in skilled nursing facility social work, I was able to see how hospice teams made transitions peaceful and pain-free. I watched the team of amazing Nurses, CNAs, Chaplains, and Social Workers guide families through the hardest moments of their lives. Hospice teams took great care of my residents and made their final journeys as special as they were. I am honored to have worked as a hospice social worker. I have worked as a Therapist for clients all around the U.S. at an intensive outpatient level and still currently teach groups in intensive outpatient. Using this background, I bring unique and broad perspectives my clients can relate to.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
