If you're currently experiencing… If you're currently experiencing suicidal thoughts, apparently that's grounds for rejection. They booked my appointment, went through all the steps with insurance, and then suddenly cancelled it and told me that I'd be better off finding support elsewhere, just because I listed that I've been having suicidal thoughts in my intake form. Seemed to completely ignore that I have a therapist already and I was just coming here for medication management, not for therapy. Gave me a list of two other recommended providers - one of which wasn't even another psychiatrist, but was a therapist group. Might be a good practice if you can actually get in and if you're not experiencing severe mental health issues (seems pretty counterintuitive for a psychiatrist office though!). Feels like their policy encourages you to downplay your symptoms. Kind of ridiculous that they'd book your appointment before reviewing your intake form, anyways.

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.

awful I initially chose Lavender because I found the provider and liked their background and specialties. I liked that I could book online, and they took my insurance. Then so many things went wrong. My provider repeatedly canceled sessions last minute. When the concierge called to cancel a THIRD appointment in a row, I was given a reschedule date for over a month away. I was for some reason no longer able to book online and got no reason as to why. I work night shift and booking online is very helpful for me as it is challenging to call and schedule during business hours. They also were prescribing me medication that I had to stop taking since I had no one to help me determine if it was even working. When I emailed them to let them know I was no longer interested in continuing my care there (since they were canceling my appointments anyway) and that because of the situation would likely not try to find a new provider at all, I didn’t get any response other than a document shared with me that I was “discharged from service”. I feel like as a MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE, they should be much more concerned about their patients’ mental health.

I booked my initial appointment on… I booked my initial appointment on ZocDoc, only to be told that appointment would not kept as I did not book on the Lavender platform. I ask then while allow for booking on Zocdoc at all. Then, my appointment was cancelled again as they stated that they not have my intake forms yet I had submitted the information 4 times. Then my appointment was cancelled again, on the day off due to connectivity issues of the provider. Most recently, my provider was 20 minutes late for the appointment and the she cancelled in the middle of my appointment has she again was having internet problems. She assured me that I would not be charged as we only had a brief visit, yet my card was charged $300 as a no-show fee. As always, I cannot get in contact with anyone when I call, it simply rings out. There is not even an answering service. In truth, the customer service at Lavender is disgraceful. Please do not book with this company.

pestered me to make a new appointment… pestered me to make a new appointment and then want to charge me $100 because I tried to cancel within 24 hours due to an emergency. The care is not good, if you just need pills its fine but dont try to utilize their care team.
