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.

I didn't even get to go to my initial, they're frauds I didn't even get to go to my initial, THey're frauds. I paid 150 out right for a provider without insurance, and they are scamming people to pay 125 a session claiming that their bill is $300 for an hour. they are thieves. the girl said her supervisor would call me back but then I couldn't get thru. They cancelled my appointment and I still haven't received a call from the supervisor (in an hour like she said). These people don't want to help, they're cons that only care about money. interestingly, my insurance says they charge $0-$75 for co-pays. So not only are they going to bill insurance, but they are making us pay full price for a session out of pocket. I paid $50 my last provider in-network and $150 full price (No ins/out of network/ out of pocket provider). Spread the word, Do not book with them. They're reviews and costs are inflated to make then seem high value, but they're really thieves and insurance leaches. I uploaded my credit card information. they better not charge it considering they cancelled my appointment.

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.

Biggest waste of time Please, please, PLEASE don't waste your time with them if you are seriously in need of help. As someone else mentioned, they have you fill out an intake form (once you've already made your appointment), then will reach out and cancel it a few days later based on how you answer the intake form. I also was looking for help with anxiety and depression, which they say they treat, yet was denied service. I don't know who runs this place or makes the policies but they need to hire someone else.

Abelist 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.
