See what our patients are saying about Karen Contreras

Lifestance did a fantastic job of placing me with Karen Contreras as I am a somewhat elderly patient and she made me feel right at home. She was very professional yet very personable as well. I recently suffered a seizure and since it was my first visit she kept my meds simple until I finish with my neurologist and said we will go from there. I was very displeased with my previous psychiatrist so I really think I found a winner. Also the Telehealth visits will save me a lot of money on gas as I was driving 30 miles sometimes twice a month to see my psychiatrist and "case manager" which was doing me no good at all.

Karen Contreras has been a huge help in navigating my journey battling depression/anxiety. I came in at a very low point in my life, and had seen other psychiatrists. Where others wanted to treat the session as a “sales-pitch” for new procedures, Mrs. Contreras helped me by immediately prescribing medicine to help cope with the difficulties and pressure of life in the moment. It was quite literally life-saving attention.

I see Karen Contreras, a Psychiatric NP, & she’s great! She listens to what’s going on with me, how I’m feeling, & how I feel about any med changes she might suggest. She lets me feel like I’m in control of me & my life. I really love the way she treats me. She’s been awesome!
