No transparency, one step away from a scam LifeStance Health was the first mental healthcare provider I have made an appointment with. It was incredibly disappointing, the psychiatrist did not ask questions and the appointments would last no longer than fifteen minutes. However, they would charge me a Level-4 visit, which requires about 30-40 minutes with the patient, plus 20-30 minutes of write up required of the doctor. I can tell you that even if our meetings were 30-40 minutes long, there was no additional work done afterwards because there is no forms or write ups on my profile that I can access from my doctor. Medication was given fairly quickly but it did not feel like they were checking in on whether or not it worked - just billing me monthly for "providing medications" (which was bills on top of paying the pharmacy for medication). If you are even thinking of LifeStance, get ready for bills with no explanations on receipts and no transparency. I would receive bills randomly, months after my appointment so I couldn't even figure out what the reason for it was. They were never upfront how much it would cost either. For someone with anxiety and depression, having random bills appear made everything significantly worse mentally. I genuinely feel like they are taking advantage of people who are at a low point in their life. I had chosen LifeStance because their website looked the most professional out of all the providers in my area, but it was all a facade to cover up their sketchy practices.

Horrible customer service Horrible customer service. I have called three times over a billing issue. I elected twice the call back feature (keep my place in line). Never a call back. When I call without latter, left on hold for over 40 mins, hung up.

Excellent 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!

Someone to hear you Speak with someone that understand what you are going thru. Listen word for word without forgetting conditions I have. Also when papers or documents are needed for work related they are ready on a timely matter. Also their concern about me is always very noticable on messages thru the portal messenger. Very convenient that we can communicate every time I have a concern or breakdown. Thank you

Wonderful therapist… My therapist is absolutely wonderful and I like that they send me plenty of reminders. Much better experience than Sondermind. So far I have not had any billing issues although when I first made an appt I got a vm that I needed to add my cc info before 3pm or my appt would be cancelled. Super weird. Even after I added it I got another message after my first appt that it wasn’t in there. Hoping I will not run into any nightmare issues some others are describing but so far so good.
