“Initially made an appointment online. Staff quickly realized I needed a different provider, called me back and rescheduled in a very timely & friendly manner. On telehealth appointment Tara Scott was a running behind but made sure to communicate. I have only had one appointment so far but so far happy with my care. I will be recommended LifeStance to family & friends. (I reached out to a few places and LifeStance definitely stood out).”
