I can't brag on Christina Cotton enough! So glad that our paths crossed at LifeStance. Without a doubt , you can tell she genuinely cares for her patients. She also has ADHD, (not trying to blast your business) and I find some comfort in knowing that she also has lived experience in what I am being treated for. She is very thorough and patient, she doesn't rush in to just rush out. If you're looking for a new Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I highly recommend Christina!

Christina Cotton is a kind and compasisonate caregiver. A an adult with ADHD and other issues that contribute to my overall mental health, I felt heard and understood while discussing my history and issues. I was nervous about an initial new patient meeting, but she made me feel comfortable disclosing private thoughts and concerns. I am so glad I found her!
