Excellent!! My psychiatrist Carl is the best, when I moved to Lansing & I was seeing my old Dr. in Kalamazoo,MI. he told me he was relocating & I had to find someone here, we finally got into MSU Clinic & they took me off all my medications & didn't counsel me at all (2016) since then I've been NO TO EVERYONE ABOUT THERAPY & COUNSELING. My neurologist & I both agreed it was time in late December 2025, & I'm glad I did because I was spiraling (PTSD,BIPOLAR,TRAUMATIC TRAUMA & SEVERE DEPRESSION & ANXIETY) I call this number my Neurologist recommended because I was at the end of my rope,& was assigned to Carl, he has been understanding, kind, professional & knowledgeable of my pain & what I need. He always asks; does that seem ok with you?whenever he adjusts my medications. He listens to me cry,talk & breakdown & doesn't talk down to me. And I'm going to see a therapist even though I said no at 1st but now I trust him & I know he's concerned for my mental health & wellbeing.

I have had great care at LifeStance. I transferred care in from out of state, and I’ve only had positive experiences with the group as a whole. My provider is Carl Huntoon and he is so lovely and easy to work with. Always on time, I feel like he remembers every little detail I mention and he’s very consistent. Couldn’t rave about him more. 10/10 recommend

I felt seen, heard, understood, and optimistic after meeting with Carl. It's very easy to navigate the system at LifeStance. I wish I had discovered them much earlier. In just two weeks my life is very different.
