Excellent caring providers, easy communication. Excellent service

I've been using Lifestance since July 2023. Hands down the best treatment and experience I've had. I've made great progress and found my spark again. I use Lifestance for talk therapy and medication management, 2 different providers. They are consistent, mindful, compassionate, and really take their time to listen to me. I was doing talk therapy for about a year before deciding to go on medication. My therapist never pushed it or brought it up, I was the one to ask about and they provided careful insight on what to anticipate. The first appointment with the medication management provider I was a bit hesitant to start the medication without discussing it with my therapist as I felt the medication provider was a bit pushy (wanted me to start on 5 medications at once). When I discussed this with my therapist, they showed the same concerns I had and advised I get a second opinion. The second medication management provider I met with was an excellent match, really listened to my questions and concerns, took their time to understand my symptoms and explain how medication management would work moving forward. They started me with one medication, low dose, and was excellent at communicating what side effects to look out for and encouraged using the patient platform to message if I needed an appointment sooner than the next scheduled time. I am so thankful for Lifestance. I advise to do your research, look into the providers in your network and to follow your gut if it's not the right fit. I've had bad experiences with other therapy platforms in the past, and I so happy I didn't give up and gave Lifestance a chance
