Provider Stratton is an excellent listener and the therapy he provides to me is very insightful and challenging . I have an overall sense of accomplishment with his guidance and care. This has been the best experience I have ever had with therapy either in person or virtually. I highly recommend that if you are struggling with something, or just want to find new strategies to cope with adversity to give this therapy a try. I do not think you will regret it.

David “Craig” Stratton is a fantastic counselor I’ve been working with for a while now. He is compassionate, empathetic, very relatable, offers great exercises for me to take things day by day as we “unpack” a lot of things I’ve internalized for decades. I highly recommend him and the LifeStance Health Florida network. Everyone I’ve been in contact with has been a pleasure to speak with..
Best Regards,
Chad P.
