GBA positive experience I’ve had no issues with Lifestance Health. Usually I’ve been able to easily change appointments at the Celebration, FL office and they have always changed it to virtual on the same day if needed or allowed me to reschedule when I’ve asked in the appropriate amount of time. I’ve enjoyed my experiences with my clinical social worker and psychiatric nurse practitioner and do see progress over time. I’ve had diagnoses that were accurate and medications that have changed my life positively. I may not be perfect, but I am able to work through life’s challenges a lot easier having their help and trying to use their guidance to get me through it.

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.

GBKudos to Lifestance in Frankfort The entire staff at Frankfort Lifestance office are excellent! Kim at the front desk always has a smile on her face and a friendly greeting. This goes a long way in helping me feel comfortable and like I am a valued patient. I have been to several therapists over the years, but Holli West and Rebecca O'Hair by far are the best! Both Holli and Rebecca are very professional, easy to talk to and genuinely care about my well being. They both have always promptly responded to messages I send over the patient portal. In addition they are very accommodating when I have had to change my in person appointment to a telehealth appointment. I have been a patient with Lifestance in Frankfort for several years and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Thank you for helping and guiding me through the process of making positive changes in my life

GBCOMPLETELY INCOMPETENT This company is completely incompetent in every area - My son first saw Dr. Gulley. She's pretty kind initially, but she clearly isn't a strong note-taker. I had to repeat myself countless times in our appointments. One example; she requested me to obtain letters from my son's teachers, and failed to send the school the necessary request form. His teachers wouldn't release any letters until they received a note from her (this required a lot of coordination on my part mind you). I attempted to contact her multiple times, and by the time I was able to speak to her regarding it, it was during his appointment, and then she had no idea what I was talking about. These types of situations happened all the time. We originally came to her to re-evaluate my son, and she never did. We saw another psychiatrist who was completely baffled on why this wasn't her first plan of action. The billing department is just as awful. They overcharged me and to this day can't justify their charges. After sending 5 messages and complaining to the regional manager, I finally received a complete printout of each charge, but they don't list what each charge is for. The last item, and the most serious - My son was receiving automatic refills on his medication. They suddenly stopped, and nobody notified me. I called immediately to get my son seen asap, (my son's psychiatrist already quit Life Stance at this point), and they notified me that nobody was available until 3 weeks out. I asked if they would prescribe enough medication to get him through until he could be seen, and they said "they aren't allowed too". For those who aren't aware, this is legally considered as medical negligence - If anyone is on a psych medication, it's incredibly dangerous from them to suddenly stop taking it. They could experience a severe psychotic episode and many are committed because of it. Many even become suicidal suddenly. It's EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I'm not someone to leave bad reviews, but this medical establishment is VERY ALARMING in how they practice. PLEASE PLEASE do your research. Don't entrust your loved one here.
