I love LifeStance. I have had a wonderful experience using LifeStance. I have honestly had a lot of bad experiences with therapists and psychiatrists in my day which caused me a lot of trust issues with doctors. But, I’m glad I decided to give the doctors at LifeStance a try because I seriously found the BEST psychiatrist ever! I truly mean that. My doctor is amazing. I trust her, I feel comfortable talking to her, I feel like I can talk to her about anything, I feel confident in her decisions about my medications, she’s sincere, easy to talk to to, cares about my health and well being, is reliable, and a great listener/communicator. She is absolutely wonderful and I am very happy with how my treatment is going! I have never been better thanks to Dr. O. She’s helped me improve my life for the better and words can’t express how grateful I am to have such an amazing psychiatrist. It isn’t easy to find one but I’m so thankful I did!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Stacie Drake. She is an exceptional psychiatrist—kind, compassionate, and truly dedicated to her patients and their families. She went above and beyond in caring for my mom, who was struggling with dementia and severe delusions. It was one of the most overwhelming times of my life, and I was on the verge of breaking down myself. Dr. Drake not only helped my mom find the right medications, but she also provided incredible support to me throughout the process. She takes her time, listens carefully, and genuinely cares. Her expertise combined with her warmth made an enormous difference in my mom’s quality of life and in mine. I’m deeply grateful for everything she has done for our family. Dr. Drake is truly outstanding, and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of compassionate, expert psychiatric care.

Stacie Caroline Drake was instrumental in helping me to overcome a very difficult chapter in my life with PPA/PPD. She is an expert in PPA/PPD and has a passion for helping mothers navigate the situation through both talk therapy and medication management. She supported me while I worked through my transition back into the workforce. It was a difficult and emotional journey, but I made it through the other side in her care. I honestly cannot thank her enough for her assistance and I highly recommend her to any mothers struggling with the same!

My doctor is Stacie Drake. I’m truly grateful for my doctor’s exceptional care. She listens attentively, takes the time to fully understand my concerns, and works collaboratively with me to troubleshoot my health issues and adjust medications as needed. Her thoroughness, deep knowledge, and genuine dedication give me confidence that I am receiving the best possible care. After each appointment, I leave feeling reassured, supported, and optimistic about my health journey.

I have been using LifeStance since July 2021. I have had a great experience except that my insurance balance says over 10k because BCBS has a credentialing issue. It's tough to go to therapy for anxiety and then the therapy bill gives you anxiety!
