My experience with Lifestance has been a positive experience from the beginning. I have the support of my therapist and a Nurse practitioner Mindy Rader ,working together to provide the best care. Mindy was non judgmental and took the time to listen to me. She is caring and it shows! Just in the time she took to make sure I was fully informed and understood on my plan of care.
