GBZERO STARS! ZERO STARS! As others have said, RUN. I have been trying to get a billing issue resolved for TWO MONTHS. I only got one billing phone call finally, after prompting from my therapist and that was a month and 1/2 ago!! They were supposed to escalate and have a manager call me. I have sent TWELVE pt portal messages, sat on hold for extreme amounts of time, never reaching a live person. At one point I had a patient advocate from my insurance company trying to reach them and even they couldn't!!! An insurance company advocate not able to reach them either?! Two months of this! My mental health is now in shambles with ongoing anxiety and high blood pressure because the bills keep coming anyway and I've had to continuously attempt to reach them unsuccessfully, along with my advocate. They sure can manage to keep sending bills. It's sad because my therapist was wonderful. You will be fine until a billing issue arises and trust me, it will eventually. I'm distraught that I have to find someone else because there's no way I can risk ever going through this again. And I know they're just going to send an automatic copy and pasted response just like all the other responses to the bad ratings, that they truly care, yada yada and please email or call them. I have!!! That's the problem

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.

GBOnly adds to stress! Only adds to stress to your mental health! I've been working with this organization for 5 weeks. Was assigned a horrible therapist who wound up leaving the organization after 2 sessions with me stating the companies vision didn't align with hers. In addition it is practically IMPOSSIBLE to speak to a human being unless it is about setting up an appt (getting money from you), or billing (getting money from you). There is no way to upload documents directly to their portal for review. Requests for assistance from both staff and Dr. are impossible to get timely...again...did I say MENTAL health? At one point I was told that documents I needed to return to work had been uploaded and taken care of, only to see the original documents with NOTHING updated. In addition, I have not gotten paid in 5 weeks due to their lack of follow up. This organization has done nothing to help me besides give me drugs...increasing dosages, and billing me. DONE!

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.

GBGreat place to get back on your feet and back to work! Fantastic!!! Karlette is awesome as a IOP group leader. Beth was great at finding me the in person IOP group sessions and Karen is a great psychNP. Natalie helped bring it all together. The in person group are all very communicative and actually meet outside of therapy hours. I feel much better starting the process and probably will be able to get back to work so much sooner instead of just languishing at home the every day. Would recommend to all my coworkers.
