I have been using lifestance for several years and have no complaints. The mental health professionals are very caring and professional. I haven't had one I didn't like because I have used them in several states, also it's from the comfort of your home or where ever you can have a confidential conversation. I would like to say I am extremely happy with Nurse Okonkwo. She is professional, friendly and she puts me at ease. I recommend them to highly.
