GBThe company is not what they claim I wish I could say I was a new patient . I wasn’t. I have been with them for 3 years. They say they specialize in anxiety, panic disorder, depression and medication management . Dr. Gannon their Yale graduate co-founder claims in her Headway profile the company she co-founded is always transparent . Sadly after 3 years of being a patient there with the same NP, because she placed me on a new medication that caused my condition to worsen and filing a complaint . Their solution was to discharge me as a client. Medication management? Ummm...! Full transparency? They wanted me to go get a liver and kidney function lab work done! I agreed! Let’s see if I am able to be placed on this new medication they were suggesting. I’m at the point of desperation at this point because the last medication really made my condition worse. I was on Paxil for a year but it just slowly stopped working. Put me on Venflaxine 6 weeks later .... I couldn’t stop having anxiety attacks ! So hence the lab work order to see if I could be put on an new medication they felt would help. I look at the lab place they want me to go to ....on google to try to get an appointment. The lab says they specialize in drug testing. Hmmmm... that’s interesting! Not that I care! I’m going for a liver and kidney function test. Then I look at the lab form they gave me... sure enough... a full 8 panel drug test is ordered on there with the other test. “ Transparency “? I do not use drugs! The only drugs that enter my body are those specifically prescribed for me! At this point yes... I do question it! Why am I being drug tested? Their answer was simple.... because we can!!! Ok... that’s fine too! But where was the transparency??? So I emailed them to ask about why I was suddenly being drug tested. Surely there must be a reason. After all they are even sending me to a lab that specializes in drug testing. They had my NP ( nurse practitioner) call me back and all she had to say about this was... I forgot to tell you. Ok but why are you requesting it? I filed a complaint about my med .... that’s the reason. In my opinion she just didn’t want to look like the blame for giving me a med that made my condition worse. One of the major side effects of this med .... is ANXIETY! Ummmm???? Hello??? Anyone there? Knock knock! Also... do not ever think you can call or email this place and directly speak to your NP. Not going to happen! Unless you slap that insurance card down or cash to pay. They have a concierges team that deals with you as a distant entity! ( I say distant because it can take 2 days at this point to even get a real human response... even their answering machine says that) ( never used to be that way... you would get a human response or answering on the phone right away) so if your issue is major, in regards to THEIR care or you have a concern or complaint... don’t be surprised if you cannot reach a human for a while. It was all good while Covid was media prevalent. Now.... they are fully out of tune with what patients needs are. If you just need someone to talk to... lonely... have a slight anxiety or depression.... no problem! If you want real therapy ... I can honestly say I never received that. They just smile and nod in the camera.... give you meds they hope will work ( in my case) and so long as you don’t have a single complaint ( in my case) about that med, they will probably be a good fit for you. Other than that... do yourself a favor... keep scrolling! As a Law Graduate I know that I can be held liable for perjury if I am not telling the truth , as well as defamation. So I assure you... every word I have said here is true!

GBI 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

GBWhen 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.

GBAbelist Policies After filling out the long intake forms, I was given an appointmemt for roughly two weeks away. I thought that was pretty great turn around timing and was super excited. Then three days later, after I had already secured an appointment, I was emailed and told that they actually can't treat my conditions because "they don't have specialists in those areas". I was trying to get help with depression and anxiety, two of the most common mental illness struggles there are. I really wish they would have told me up front that they wouldn't treat me instead of giving me false hope and an appointment and then later canceling it on me. A lot of their policies feel really abelist and odd to me.

GBThey are crooks, do not go with them Hi, I just started and new at this. Never done video chat. So nothing was explained on how to use this site. First time, they call late no answer. Second time called late no answer. I was charged $300.00 for no show but I have insurance. Insurance is suppose to cover. Now i asked for refund, they blackmail me and said I'll refund you when you go to a new session. I said no thanks, I just want my refund. I'm not working. Now they say, you can't get it back because they said so. Thanks thieves.
