Both of my Therapists are very kind and helpful. I don't have any complaints they're both very well trained and professional. I would Highly recommend Lifestance in Greenwood, Indiana. Plus they're only 10 minutes away and with 30 herniated diffused leaking bulging dessicated discs, that makes my visits more possible for me too. I can't sit down at all except my car for the 10 minutes and I have to stand up the Entire time so they're very understanding too. Vanessa is very understanding and knows that I have serious anxiety and a serious Autoimmune Disease that causes Flare Ups and she's doing what she can to help me. I have nothing to complain about... Blessings, Chris PS? How did you know that my knick name was Chip?? Lol!! No one's called me that since I was 30... Thank you very much Vanessa.

Going to Lifestance was a life saver. My previous Dr misdiagnosed me and put me on the wrong meds which had an adverse reaction on my brain. That sent me looking for a new Dr and I thnk God I found Lifestance. I see NP Vanessa Prichard and it has been such a great experience. All the staff is friendly and makes me feel comfortable. Vanessa listens and talks to me instead of at me. She is very understanding and empathic. I will start therapy soon and will come back to update my review. But, I highly recommend Lifestance because they have helped me get back control of my life and properly take care of my mental health.

Vanessa has provided an invaluable service to me. Her guidance and attentiveness to my challenges have quite literally been life changing for the better. The progress I have made in just a matter of months working with Vanessa is incomparable to many years of failed attempts through similar avenues. With hindsight, I wouldn't choose any other way, bar none.

I’ve been going to LifeStance for almost a year after a very painful divorce. I just cannot say enough about my provider, Vanessa Pritchard. What a blessing to be paired with just the right person. She helped me heal, achieve my goals and made referrals for other changes I felt like I needed to make. Highly recommend & forever grateful!

I have worked with Leah Scott and Vanessa Ross. Both are:were kind and very helpful. They also provide virtual assistance. I enjoy this place. The only negative thing is that for a short time. Counselor’s Psychiatrists were leaving all at once. But now this office seems to have secured staff again
