“LifeStance and Dr. Prasad were extremely quick to help me set up an appointment, were very polite, insightful and helpful in the process of booking an appointment in such a quick and timely matter. I was nervous to be vulnerable about my struggles but the team in LifeStance and Dr. Prasad made my first reach to getting help easier than I could ever imagine. Dr.Prasad wasn’t judgmental and caring and made seeking treatment easy.”

“My first visit, Dr. Prasad listened to everything that was going on in my life and didn’t disregard other medical issues playing a part in my life at this time. He was professional and cared about the individual “myself” that saw him. He didn’t treat me like everyone is the same but was caring to treat my concerns and needs as an individual patient. Thank you for listening and being understanding.”
