5 stars STILL…3 years after I first saw Dawn for treatment for trauma after the end of a very abusive relationship. I immediately loved her. She is Hands Down the BEST psychiatrist I have had. She is a beautiful person, intelligent, and genuine. She is such an asset to Life Stance Health. I am so grateful that when I called Life Stance to make my first appointment that I was blessed to be placed with her. It’s hard to find a mental health provider, let alone a GOOD one! I hope that Life Stance has this quality of providers across the board. I have a friend that uses LifeStance her counselor is amazing , I have been to a few of her visits! So I have only positive things to say that pertain to LifeStance and these two providers that get up every day and commit themselves to help people grow.💜 🌱🦋🩵🫶🏼

I finally found a place that can directly help with my mental health medication. Experience professional meant just for this. They have options for in person or telehealth. I use telehealth as transportation is not easy for me. With the help of Dawn Smith, I have found medication to take me out of my depression, awful low mood swings, no energy, and anxiety. Totally day from night shift and I'm very happy. Thank you

The staff here is so friendly and helpful. I can not say enough good and positive things about Dawn. Finding someone who you can share parts of your life with and feel comfortable and safe with can be close to impossible. I feel safe, comfortable and at ease with Dawn. Her smile and her laugh makes me feel so relaxed. I also feel like Dawn listens to me. Thank you Dawn everything you do! I appreciate you!

Ms. Smith PNP is honestly amazing! She takes the time to listen, very knowledgeable and after over 3 years seeing her now, I couldn't ask for a better PNP. I look forward to our visits. She's an asset to LifeStance to say the least☺️
