I’ve seen many psychiatrists throughout my life, but I have never encountered someone quite like Ghassan. There are certain people you cross paths with in life who leave a lasting impact, and I truly believe he is one of those rare individuals who comes into your life when meaningful change is just around the corner. Ghassan possesses a level of wisdom, strength, and understanding that is incredibly rare. He has a remarkable ability to see beyond the surface, offer clarity when things feel complicated, and find solutions where you may have only seen obstacles. He doesn’t simply listen; he genuinely understands, challenges you to grow, and helps you recognize the strength and potential within yourself. I am extremely selective about the healthcare professionals I trust. Not everyone possesses the knowledge, integrity, compassion, or genuine dedication that this profession requires. Ghassan, however, is in a league of his own. When I say this psychiatrist is one in a million, I mean it wholeheartedly. But here’s the thing: you have to be willing to loosen your grip on the wheel, trust the process, and allow yourself to be guided. Growth isn’t always comfortable, and sometimes the people who help us the most are the ones who challenge us to see things differently. Having Ghassan in your corner is an extraordinary privilege. He is the kind of person whose wisdom stays with you long after an appointment ends. Some people simply do their jobs, while others leave a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to cross their path.

I’ve been seeing Courtney Jones at LifeStance Health for my mental health care, and she absolutely deserves 5 stars. She is consistently professional, kind, and truly listens to what I’m experiencing, instead of rushing through appointments or pushing a one‑size‑fits‑all plan. Courtney takes the time to explain my diagnoses and medications in plain language, makes sure I understand the “why” behind every change, and always invites my input when we discuss treatment options. From the very first visit, I felt respected and heard, which is not always the case in mental health care. The online check‑in and patient portal are straightforward, and my appointments and refills have been handled quickly and smoothly, which makes managing my care much less stressful. As a disabled veteran who has worked with many providers over the years, I can honestly say Courtney stands out for her empathy, attention to detail, and commitment to my long‑term wellness. LifeStance Health as a whole offers convenient access to psychiatry and therapy, and having someone like Courtney on their team is a huge asset. I highly recommend Courtney Jones and LifeStance Health to anyone looking for thoughtful, patient‑centered mental health care in the Columbus/Phenix City area.

I’ve been having terrible depression and anxiety. I’ve been dealing with these issues my whole life. I’ve seen doctor’s who just try different antidepressants on me, they don’t work so I basically have just given up trying to feel better. Than I found Lifestance. I’ve only had one telehealth appointment, was prescribed an antidepressant I never tried before. Ambilify, I was a little concerned because it’s for people who are bipolar, which I’m not. Ambilify was to be taken in addition to my Zoloft. After about a week I started feeling better. I didn’t lay in bed all day like I have for the past year. I must thank Lifestance and Chiamaka. I can’t wait for my next appointment.

For the longest I’ve been sending people to therapy and the pay 16 months have been very tough and I finally made the decision to see someone. I had several criteria of course I wanted someone who’s probably my age group but also wanted somebody who was of faith and well verse in different areas. Talking to Mrs. Wolfe has changed by level of stress but also I’ve gained better management of my current stressors and feel lighter. I’m blessed and thankful to have found her. If you’ve been looking and haven’t found anyone, you can surely give her a try. I look forward to my visits and our chats. She’s awesome.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Maria for an awesome psychiatry appointment this morning. She had helped me with diagnosing with my long-term problem that I’ve had and also was there for me every step of the way throughout the appointment. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet with her and to discuss anything pertaining to my current health and my past health. She did an amazing job and I’ve never been so joyful about a doctors appointment that I’ve gone in the past. The visit was exceptionally great.

Dr. Meyer is thoughtful, compassionate, and a skilled clinician who truly listens and provides appropriate interventions. It’s obvious that he actually cares about patients unlike so many clinicians these days where it takes months to get an appointment, then spend just 15-20 minutes in an attempt to decipher my extremely complex medical situation. I am thankful to have found two very good doctors, my PCP who referred me to Dr. Cohen and Dr. Cohen himself. I highly recommend him and LifeStance Health!

Carolann Brooks is a fantastic doctor who listens to her patients and offers suggestions that respect what they’re trying to accomplish. Many psychiatrists assume that their academic credentials excuse continuous learning in their field. They apply recommendations that are 30 years out of date and go through the intake process in such a mechanical way that ChatGPT would roll its eyes if it had them. Mental health medicine needs more humanity and Carolann brings that. A valuable find!

I have had the pleasure of having Ananda Hodgson as my therapist. From the first day of meeting her till today she has made my experience worth it. Ananda makes it so easy to open up to her. The way she’s gentle, kind, openly honest and listen to all your concerns and feelings. Ananda let’s you choose what you want to talk about, and also gives you ways to navigate through your feelings, issues and thoughts. I highly recommend Lifestance and Ananda as an excellent therapist.

Peter is the first provider who has made me feel truly heard and cared for. He listens with compassion, takes my concerns seriously, and truly cares about my wellbeing—and it shows. When I felt let down by others, Peter remained dedicated to helping me. That kindness and commitment have meant more to me than I can express. I am so grateful to have found him and cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Peter, for your compassion, dedication, and continued support.

Mrs. Brown is very down to earth and comforting while discussing things. I appreciate how she acknowledges the importance of family and support why going through whatever situation it is that you’re dealing with mentally. When I mentioned how my wife has helped me push through things she said how happy she was for us and that felt good. Sometimes small gesture like that mean alot and go a long way.

Since my family and I started with Lifestance, well over a year ago. All the professionalism and the support we have received by them, is outstanding! Especially, counselors Abby C Melody L and Gillian C. They will go, and have gone above and beyond for us. They’re compassionate and knowledgeable of all different kinds of resources you may need. I highly recommend Lifestance.
