Highly recommend Lifestance Health and Mike Tichy. After 22 years of many dr’s, mis-diagnoses, and medications that did not work for me; Mike Tichy was the 1st person that finally understood what I’d been trying to explain. In 2021, for the 1st time in my life, I had a correct diagnosis and was put on the correct medications - which was life changing! It felt like someone opened the shades and I could actually function like a normal adult! Until then, I’d been treated purely on symptoms but not the root cause. He is very easy to talk to and treats you like a human being trying to live your best. It’s a shame I had to struggle for 22 years, when there was an answer all along, but I’m very grateful for Mike and how much he has helped me!!

Michael is as down to earth yet professional as they come! He listens and clearly takes good notes because he always circles back to my issues from our previous visit even months later. He takes into consideration my thoughts on medication changes and is upfront about whether he agrees or has a different opinion. My previous psychiatrist retired and referred me to Michael and I could be happier!

I have worked with provider Mike at Lifestance for many years and I've been very happy. He is a great listener. I feel heard, and he focuses on what is important. I am going through a difficult time right now and he arranged his schedule to see me sooner and came up with an initial plan for me to try. I genuinely feel my provider cares about me and my well-being.

I have had a great experience with LifeStance from the start. I had to switch providers last year and the onboarding and scheduling were easy, customer support was amazing and I have nothing but an awesome experience with Mike. Every session has been great.

My provider is prompt to respond when I need his assistance, and he carefully assesses the best possible solution when I require a change to my medications.
