GBI DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! My family member saw Victoria Walter for the first time and in 20 mins diagnosed them with depression & anxiety. She also prescribed medication. We wanted a second opinion due to the short time frame of the visit and cancelled the follow up. I requested documentation with the diagnosis as there was literally nothing in the patient portal. Victoria Walter then claimed she did not diagnosis my family member. The diagnosis codes were literally the only things on the chart summary. How do you file for insurance and prescribe without a diagnosis??? This is not only shady but very unprofessional. I requested & paid for medical records and was told it would take 2-3 business days. It is now 2 weeks and they still have not provided anything. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

GBSomeone 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

GBNo 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.

GBThe BILLING Department truly is Awful The BILLING Department truly is AWFUL!!! Many times I have CANCELLED or CHANGED an appointment (By thier rules - within 48 hours) and yet they still charge me for missed appointments... The other day I was on hold for 55 minutes when I gave up. Here is another practice that is terrible but I think they have stopped it... LifeStance would schedule an appointment and without your agreement or consent they would schedule 2 consecutive follow ups. So if I did not like the THERAPIST (and that is often) I would get charged for MISSED APPTS.

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.
