Initially made an appointment online. Staff quickly realized I needed a different provider, called me back and rescheduled in a very timely & friendly manner. On telehealth appointment Tara Scott was a running behind but made sure to communicate. I have only had one appointment so far but so far happy with my care. I will be recommended LifeStance to family & friends. (I reached out to a few places and LifeStance definitely stood out).

Tara has given me a lot of insight into myself and it has been very helpful. She listens with empathy and without judgement. She has been able to pinpoint specific mental health issues and give me very helpful direction and tools to manage them. I am very grateful for her.
