Candice is such a kind woman. She makes everything very easy and straightforward. I never feel awkward of judged when I speak with her. I’d been on a prescription for nearly 10 years, and the first time we met and I mentioned that I was having issues sleeping, she was like, “Well, it’s probably the fact that you are taking your bupropion in the morning and before bed, instead of just in the morning. It can have an energizing effect on some people. Would you like to switch to a 300 mg pill once a day?” And it helped! I was floored! I’d never had a provider suggest that as an option before and, like I said, I’ve been taking this medicine for almost a decade and consistently reported sleep issues. But she was the first to actually try to solve that. She genuinely seems to care about helping people feel their best which is very refreshing! I would definitely recommend her to others!

I’ve been struggling with anxiety my entire life, it started during childhood. I’ve always felt hopeless. I started therapy recently, and the therapist recommended seeing a psychiatrist. I cannot say enough good things about Candice Slizewski. She actively listens. She truly cares, and just wants people to be able to get out that best version of themselves. I have so much hope right now, that I might be able to get through this, and one day say to someone “you know, I USED to struggle with anxiety, and I know what it feels like. You should make an appointment with Candice Slizewski at LifeStance. It could change your life.” —Catie Cole🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼

They have helped me get back on track with my life. I’m happy for all the support I received from them. I’m taking my medication correctly and not drinking alcohol anymore. Sometimes you just need to see the positives in your life even when you feel so helpless. Knowing that we have resources to help with depression is key.
