My whole experience with Lifestance has been amazing from the start. It was so easy to make an appointment online with a provider of my choice. I was able to get my first appointment within days of requesting one. Charis, NP has been so wonderful with helping me navigate through very difficult aspects of my life that I am currently facing. She is supportive, kind, and understanding and she truly takes the time to listen to what I am saying and offer, not only one, but multiple solutions and aspects of support. Whenever we are discussing treatment options, she always makes sure that I am involved in the decision making process. It is already difficult enough struggling with mental health so having such a compassionate provider to work alongside to better myself has been such a blessing. I am so happy that I chose this practice as opposed to any other local practice!

Charis is amazing! I started seeing her about 4 years ago, after moving to the area from out of state. She is very nice, listens when I bring up concerns, but also gets straight to the point of recommending alternative medications when I ask (which is exactly what I want -- I'm an engineer so I like to dive right into problem-solving mode). For several years I was on a consistent/stable medication routine, and she was also great at having super quick telehealth check-in appointments, without a lot of unnecessary small talk/questions. I highly recommend Charis and Lifestance to anyone looking for a new psych!

After years of managing severe anxiety through therapy and medication, this is the first provider who has truly made me feel heard and respected. Charis listens carefully, treats me with compassion, and makes me feel like an active participant in my treatment rather than just another appointment. I always leave feeling understood and supported. Finding the right mental health provider can be difficult, and I am so grateful to have found someone who genuinely cares about her patients. Highly recommend.

I’ve been with LifeStance for about six years, and I can honestly say it has been a truly positive experience. My former counselor, Miss Skinner, and my psychiatrist, Charis Foraker, have been an incredible team in supporting my mental health journey. Their compassion, expertise, and consistent support have made a significant difference in my life. I’m extremely grateful for the care I’ve received and highly recommend LifeStance to anyone seeking quality mental health

I've been going to Dr. Charis Foraker for over a year now and she is amazing!! Very nice and she cares for her patients like a doctor should, and she listens to you while working together for the right treatment plan. My last visit with her, I explained that I had a very traumatic tragedy and I haven't been able to find the right type of therapy, she did not hesitate to refer me and help me with what I'm going through!!! Best Psychiatrist!!!!
