GBUnprofessional & Full of Issues I do NOT recommend going here. Not only did one of their psychiatrist try to guide me towards a fake service dog registration site; which is extremely harmful and unprofessional for someone in this field, since only letters are legal and registration sites are all fake and not protected under ADA Law. I wanted to cancel my follow-up appointment after this horrid experience, which I made sure to both message and call one month ahead of time to cancel, and I was given assurance that my request would be done. What did I get a month later? A missed appointment fee, for the appointment that I was told would be canceled after I had reached out. This practice is not worth your time and they simply don't care about you. Their only concern and desire is to drain you of money, and they will use ANY means necessary in order to do this and make your life hell.

GBBILLING DEPT SUCKS!! BILLING DEPT SUCKS!!! My insurance tells me I owe one amount and then Lifestance sends me a bill for a huge amount that is incorrect. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY. You CAN'T EVER get someone on the phone and the VERY RARE times you can, you are always given an Excuse their phone system is being fixed, they have new management, etc.... It's always Something! It's just all Truly Unprofessional and a Headache to deal with! I Like Meah McCray alot but I can't afford being over billed and then getting letters that my account is going to collections! This has been going on for a few YEARS now and I am DONE. YES, I SAID YEARS! The only people that can possible be happy are the ones with Medicare, Medicaid or Commercial insurance with No Copay. If you have a Copay stay FAR AWAY from this place!

GBExcellent Talk Therapy and Support Staff I have been seeing Therapist Melissa Short for a year now and she has been wonderful! She listens and asks questions. She has given me tools to use to help with anxiety and stress. I have had no issues with scheduling or with the billing department. Things have gone very smoothly for me!

GBMy experience is congruent with all of… My experience is congruent with all of the other one-star (wish could put zero-star) experiences here. They have an F rating at the Better Business Bureau: "BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints. Specifically, consumers allege in their complaints to BBB they are being charged for services that should have been covered by their provided insurance. These consumers advise that their insurance is verified before the services are received from the business yet the consumer is billed. Consumers also allege having issues when working with the business on correcting the billing issues. Lastly, consumers claim to have a difficult time getting in touch with the business at their advertised phone number." Go to Reddit. Look at what employees and clients/patients have to say in forum after forum. Horrible! Title of an article: LifeStance: Company Creates Barriers to Mental Health Treatment, Cancels Appointments When Patients Refuse to Pay Amounts They Don’t Owe Title of another article: LifeStance Health: Vulnerable Mental Health Patients Burdened with Unwarranted Medical Debt from Company’s Billing Practices, Errors, and High Fees Another article, published in Feb, one that would interest investors, employees, and patients LifeStance: A Private Equity-Backed Mental Health Rollup Headed For A Breakdown. Very detailed. Makes it sound like employees and patients/clients may soon arrive for work/appointments, but the lights will be off, and nobody will be home--Ever again.

GBThey didn't show, charged ME the no show fee I had a telehealth appointment at 5:00pm, I waited until 5:30pm and no one showed up. Despite this, I was charged a $90 no show fee. When I tried to dispute this, they told me the provider DID show up, and I was the one who failed to appear. They are either LYING or gave me a bad link, but unfortunately I have no way to properly dispute this, as I didn't think to take screen shots of the empty room for evidence (which I will do in the future). They have refused to take responsibility and are practically scamming me out of $90, which as a person with low income, I kinda need!
