I saw Scott as a fill-in for my usual practitioner. Scott is great! He is patient, easy to talk to, makes you feel heard and works hard to find support for your individual needs. LifeStance’s providers have all been wonderful as my family and I see various providers here. I would and have recommended LifeStance to friends and family and I would definitely add Scott to my list of recommended providers.
