Overall my experience with LifeStance has been very positive. I see a therapist and a psychiatrist for medication and haven’t had any major issues but there have been a few times where it could have become a major issue. I’ve been using LifeStance for less than a year and 2 of the 3 psychiatrists I have seen have left LifeStance. The first told me during an appointment and made sure to let me know that my next medication appointment would be in 90 days. She told me that if I had not heard from LifeStance by the 60 day mark I should contact them to get my next appointment set up. I ended having to contact them and LifeStance never reached out and initiated contact. I was set up with a new provider and only saw her 2 times. My 3rd appointment with her was cancelled because when I went to log into the patient waiting room she was no longer with LifeStance. I had received zero communication from the provider or LifeStance letting me know she was no longer with the practice. Fortunately they were able to get me rescheduled for 2 days later with my 3rd new provider. The only thing that irks me is with this situation is now that I have a new provider I have to start back over at appointments every 2 weeks. Even though I’ve been on my medication for nearly a year. And now I’m coming out of pocket more for extra visits. There needs to be a better accountability system in place. Especially for patients who take mental health medication. The providers stress to you that you cannot stop taking your meds cold turkey. But there seems to be a gap between the message that the providers are giving and the fact that LifeStance clearly has some communications issues between patients and practice. I’m sure all of this can be resolved but if it continues and I don’t have high hopes that it won’t I will be transferring care to a different practice with a more reliable staff.

Choosing Joanah as my new provider, is a decision I’ll always be happy I made. She gave me so much peace of mind and helped so much within one session. I’ve spent years going through many psychiatrists and none of them did actual evaluations the way I needed. I’ve grown tired of having to keep switching due to feeling like I wasn’t being taken seriously, and feeling rushed out of my session. She worked through everything with me to better understand myself, and in such a caring manner at that. You can absolutely tell she has genuine intentions, and I appreciate her so much!
