Lois is amazing. I have problems not of my own making. She has been gentle caring understanding. After some I've seen that literally traumatized me...she is wonderful. If you want someone who puts themselves in your shoes...let's you control your pace and path...she's the one you are looking for.

Such a pleasant experience meeting Lois Hughes. She was very thorough and listened to everything I have to say with empathy and without judgement. The facility itself is clean and well kept and the LifeStance office is new and clean as well! 10/10 would recommend
