Ableism and Disrespect Lavender Psychiatry should really do some pre-screening. They booked me for an appointment, I filled out a very long intake form full of personal information (including financial) and was told they couldn't work with me because I had a concussion 11 years ago. They also will not work with anyone who even might be autistic. There's some weird ableism there and also no respect for client time, energy, and the difficulty of disclosure.

I am going through a lot of betrayal… I am going through a lot of betrayal from my family ... I am going up against my daughter this week in a trial because my almost 20 year old daughter went out of network on her medical expenses... Sheena has been great with giving me coping mechanisms and taking each day as a brand new one! I just love her positivity and her personality is just refreshing ! I am glad that I have found her ! Thank you Lavendar and Happy Holidays ! Sincerely, Rachel Dieppa

Contacting them/setting up appointment… Contacting them/setting up appointment was super easy. The "concierge" service is nice and the person I emailed and spoke to on the phone is nice. They were very informative and answered my questions. I am looking forward to my appointment after this initial interaction!

When I needed help, they didn't help I've been seeing lavender for a few months now and my experience has been very bad and I'm switching providers. Firstly the practitioner I was seeing was not very professional. At one point I took an assessment for a condition and the next time we met to go over the results she "joked" that I was not positive for the condition and then revealed it was a big goof and I actually was positive for the condition. SO FUNNY RIGHT? Beyond just the provider, the administration supporting the provider was very poor. I was prescribed a medication that is currently in short supply and when I went to fill my prescription I was told by the pharmacy I would not be able to get the prescription filled for 3 months. I went to Lavender and they told me I would have to schedule a new appointment which makes sense. But then the pharmacy called 40 house before my appointment and they were able to get the prescription filled, Hurray! I contact the administration, they say you are in the 48 hour period either you go through with the appointment or we charge you $140 for no showing on the session. I ask for a bit of leniency were circumstances that were out of my control and I did the best I could. They tell me "too bad" and just bill me $140. Within this whole ordeal, they also lost my insurance information which led to this confusing set of emails where they told me they aren't willing to see un-insured people (I've been insured through the entirety of our relationship) and just honestly felt like they wanted my money and not to help me. There are tons of other options and providers out there. Just stay away from this provider.

Denied care for something silly I was denied care for the sole reason that I’ve been prescribed suboxone. It’s pretty apparent that I’m still paying for mistakes I made years ago. I wasn’t expecting to be prescribed suboxone through lavender, I just wanted help with my other issues. Complete waste of time really.
