Dr. Brown has single-handedly keeping my mental health at a safe space. This gentleman, listens, does hear your words, what you're conveying to him and along the way will get a smile or laugh out of you no matter how how bad you may be doing. I can't extend enough appreciation for his work with me. Great doc, great person. You would be making a choice that is good. If he can help me manage the mental fall out from chronic 30yr illness-Crohns Disease, a brain tumor I couldn't walk or speak from for 5 years that (left indelible marks on my personal feelings/soul about what became of me, I am dealing w the aftermath of a 4lvl fusion that I recently broke my neck again during the fall. And A GI system that is failing and will eventually take me. I've seen a few mental health doctors. Since the brain tumor. And I like the fact that I can just be me, speak like myself, for myself, get a laugh or two from him and know Doc. Brown actual gives a shyt. The most important part being he genuinely cares. He's my guy, wouldn't trade him for anyone. I appreciate the time and attention you took to review my notes here. I hope it helps you to make a great decision to see him. He's a great choice. Love and peace for you all, Rick F.

Dr Brown is the first in my 60 years that I feel completely safe sharing with- his compassionate care and attention are reassuring, I am confident in his ability to help me map out my perceptions and experiencs.. I know he gets me. He understands my feelings when it seemed my whole world turned upside down and noone could. I look forward to my path of healing with a renewed sense of self- I had come close to giving up on. That is a heavy realization and proof of his good guidances. He inspires higher thinking which i do respect. Bringing me a chance to find my clarity and carry my heart to the other side of my overwhelming time.

My experience with LifeStance and Dr. Brown has been excellent. Dr. Brown is consistently reliable, always on time for appointments, and very responsive whenever I reach out, whether it’s for a prescription refill or additional support. Living in a small town with limited mental health resources, having access to LifeStance’s virtual care has made a significant difference. It provides convenient, high-quality mental health services that would otherwise be unavailable in my area. I truly appreciate the professionalism, accessibility, and support that Dr. Brown and LifeStance provide.

Dr. Brown is who you want to see. I have seen psychiatrist after psychiatrists, who never really listened to what I had to say and just put me on all sorts of different medications. Dr. Brown took the time with me to find the right medications and guide me through all of the side effects. He has a great sense of understanding and humor that helps my these appointments easier to come to. Thank you all you do!

I love Dr. Ryan Brown. He and I have been working together for more than a year now and he has been knowledgeable, effective, helpful and caring. He as earned the five star rating and more. Frankly, he has made continuing with Lifestance worth it - despite the practice’s admin errors and poor communication. His talent outshines the drawbacks of the admin difficulties - you rock, Ryan.
