“My experience with LifeStance has always been excellent. They are super responsive when I need to book an appointment or reschedule. I feel that the care I receive is phenomenal. When I have a problem, my therapist is always attentive and offers suggestions to help me navigate toward a solution. I’m able to meet in person but on occasion I have to meet virtually and my therapist is very flexible with my schedule. If I’ve had an emergency, my therapist is responsive and finds time for me which I really appreciate. I feel I am better able to handle stress and respond with a more positive mindset.”
