Wish there were more stars, so I could give Carolnette all of them. But first, how we got here (it’s lengthy but true): For a month or so, I told my husband I would go to therapy and even gave him the date of my first appointment…but I did all that before actually making the appointment. (Terrible, I know, but a pretty good example of why I needed therapy in the first place.) I was already in the network, so I searched for therapists who were accepting new patients and had an appointment available on the exact day I said I was going (because I didn’t want to look like the liar I clearly was). Carolnette was one of only a few with availability, so I booked with her and it has been the best result of my foolishness that I could’ve hoped for. Carolnette is a godsend and a perfect example of how He can work all things (even self-induced problems) for our good (Romans 8:28, but I encourage you to read the entire chapter for context). She is incredibly easy to talk to, and she is a great listener – so much so that she doesn’t seem bothered by my tangents. Instead, she recognizes them as opportunities to understand how I think, what matters to me, and how my brain connects things. Then, she uses those insights to better guide my care. She also gives me homework, which I love. I can’t count the number of times I have yapped an entire therapy session and walked away feeling better, just to feel even more stressed a few days later because I didn’t have an action to back up what I learned. For me, homework is essential for accountability, and because she listens and gets me so well, she is able to create homework that stretches me while being simple enough to actually get it done. So, while my method for getting into therapy was not ideal, the end result has been amazing. I’m genuinely happy to be on this healing journey with her and recommend her to everyone looking for a therapist who listens, pays attention, makes you feel comfortable being yourself, actually takes the time to understand how you think, and gives you just enough of a push to turn what you uncover in therapy into real progress outside of it. Stop procrastinating and take this as your sign to book your appointment with Carolnette TODAY because the only regret you’ll have is not doing it sooner. I certainly don’t have any regrets, and considering I only ended up in her office because I wasn’t honest about my trepidation around therapy and then had to make good on the story I’d already told, I couldn’t have planned a better outcome if I tried (Won’t He do it 🙌🏾)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this practice and the care my family has received here. Both my son and I receive individual therapy, and we also participate in family therapy together. Having one practice that can support us as individuals while also helping us strengthen our relationship as a family has been such a blessing. From the beginning, we have been treated with compassion, patience, respect, and absolutely no judgment. They have created a safe environment where both my son and I can feel comfortable being ourselves, expressing what we are feeling, and working through things at our own pace. As a mom, it means so much to know that my son has a safe space where he feels heard and supported. At the same time, I have my own space to work on myself, heal, grow, and navigate life. Our family therapy sessions then give us the opportunity to come together, communicate better, understand one another, and continue building a stronger relationship. Therapy isn’t always easy. Sometimes growth means having difficult conversations and facing things you would rather avoid, but having compassionate professionals walking alongside us has made such a difference. I am incredibly grateful for the patience, encouragement, understanding, and genuine care they have shown both of us. They don’t just see appointments on a calendar—they make us feel like people who genuinely matter. I would wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone looking for individual or family therapy. The support they have given my son and me means more than I can adequately put into words, and I am incredibly thankful to have them as part of our journey. ❤️

I was diagnosed with ADHD 30 years ago. Dr Barton took the time to explain the mechanics and genetics of the disorder as well as how the various medications target different symptoms. He was the first to do this for me. Within minutes I felt at ease. He truly GETS it! For once, I didn’t have to try to explain everything. He methodically heard my reactions as he spoke and concluded a change in medication and dosage is needed. Sure, it may need to be adjusted down the road but I have every confidence he is an expert at handling all things ADHD- while also considering other aspects or conditions such as RA. For the first time I’m actually excited and hopeful about the new RX and what it might mean for getting a better handle on my symptoms. The office was clean, calm, and spacious. Check-in was a breeze. Everyone I encountered both on the phone and in person were professional and friendly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Life Stance. Therapy is never an easy subject. Going through what I’ve gone through in my life and in my marriage, and now even dealing with my children, And divorce.I find myself needing therapy in these troubled times. And without a good therapist, I don’t know if I could survive! Being able to talk to someone and laying everything out on the table, speaking the truth once and for all!! And finding out that the problem was not me ,now it’s time for me to take what I’m learning about myself to be a strong stronger and better person Who will not be bullied anymore! Thank you so much for all your help… God bless you all!

Brandy was very kind and a joy to speak with, however my case was turned down by her supervising physician because my health issues are a bit complex. This was specifically why I had contacted them; so I can’t say that I am pleased at all with the overall outcome however, and to be frank would have difficulty with recommending them as I really don’t have any experience past the initial intake discussion- not with any treatment. Simply based on their response to me though if your case is complex, managed by a diverse medical team, you might want to look at other providers in addition to LifeStance. However, Brandi herself was great (hence my 4 stars instead of 2 or 3).

Dr. Corey Spence has been my psychiatrist since March 2026, and I have had a great experience with him. He listens carefully, takes the time to understand what I’m dealing with, and never makes me feel rushed during appointments. I always leave feeling calmer, respected, and confident that I have someone who truly wants to help. I also appreciate that he has been there whenever I needed assistance. He helped me recognize and get my blood pressure under control—something I had overlooked in the past—which shows how thorough and caring he is. I highly recommend Dr. Spence to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate psychiatrist.

Ange-Fennie Jean was great! I love how she listens to everything that I say and is able to quickly provide a rational answer that makes sense and helps put me at ease. I have had nothing but great experiences with this organizations counselor’s. I was first with Danielle Greene who was very amazing and caring. The only problem I have with this organization is that they need to enhance their scheduling a payment system. I receive constant e-mails telling me to get ready for my upcoming appointment every day after I schedule the appointment requesting payment of my deductible. I usually wait until the day before, but it is too many e-mails.

Dr. Craddock’s bedside manner is kind, caring, and curious. I went to him during a mental health crisis, when I did not know what was happening to me. Dr. Craddock was willing to experiment to get me back to feeling normal. After a couple months with Dr. Craddock, I was totally back to feeling like myself. I am so grateful he listened to me and worked with me to help me feel better. When I read things online about certain medications that scared me, he was quick to correct misinformation. He put me at east and got me back to healthy. Thank you, Dr. Craddock!

I have been seeing Sasha Harper (Smith) for years and I am grateful to have found a compassionate, insightful and caring therapist. Sasha listens attentively and provides feedback with kindness and wisdom…. humor, too, when it is just right! Her scope of knowledge is impressive as is her ability to reference pertinent studies, science and spiritual guidance that resonates with me. I know Sasha has been an very important influence on my healing and recovery journey. I am stronger, more regulated and have found peace and I am grateful for Sasha.

Honestly, put this off for years..but they’ve made it so easy, wish I did it sooner. Ive even recommended to a few friends whose lives have actually changed or are changing bc of it. Empathetic from receptionist to doctor every step of the way. Super love Dr. Amaral specifically! Everyone here is so sweet and understanding. No judgements, just empathy and help. If you’ve been circling help for a while thinking its gonna be a huge uphill battle, you’re right, but not with these guys.
