See what our patients are saying about Ariel Alfis

Ariel is amazing. I really felt like she listened to me and cares about my treatment. I was impressed that she double checked my recent bloodwork against the meds she prescribed to make sure side effects wouldn’t cause issues. I felt very comfortable talking with her.

Ariel is empathetic, thorough and very easy to talk with. LifeStance could be better at sharing pricing up front, and the portal is a bit pointless. But I've never had any issues with the therapists themselves.
