I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve been a patient at LifeStance. I’ve seen 2 prescribers since I’ve been receiving treatment and both were amazing and very knowledgeable. My first prescriber left the practice, so I receive treatment from Crystal now! She is an amazing person and very good at what she does. She explains things in a way that is easy to understand. She pays close attention to your progress and address any concerns! I honestly don’t know where I would be without her! Telehealth is super convenient and the patient portal makes communication easy! I would highly recommend Crystal Blackburn @ LifeStance for your behavioral health treatment !
