See what our patients are saying about Jennifer Huskinson

I recently returned to COS and needed to find somebody who could renew my schedule II prescriptions. I discovered Jennifer Huskinson on the Lifestance website and she is great! I've only seen her twice, but I've discovered that she is an empathic listener who is very good at hearing what I'm NOT able to say... Hopefully those who are reading this understand that it's difficult to find somebody who can "read between the lines" and then vocalize what they believe they are hearing from the patient to illicit a confirmation from the patient without making them say the words. Thank you, Jennifer, for hearing me.

Jennifer is absolutely the best. She treats both my son and myself. And there is no way we could have survived the last year without her careful attention and empathy with our situation. Jennifer listens and really cares about what's going on in your life. She remembers you in specific details, and does not treat you like they do at places where they get people in and out and care less what you say. We are so lucky to have Jennifer and to have been brought together with her. I feel like she saved my life every day and I have so much respect for her!

Jennifer was recommended to me by an LCSW when I was in the ER. I had just lost my brother. I was told that she was very busy. I was so grateful when I was able to get an appointment with her. She is just the best clinician.
