After a long search in finding a psychiatrist since moving to Placer County, I was lucky enough to get a referral from my primary care, physicians office to LifeStance. I was able to make a new patient appointment quite easily and became a patient of Dr. Primack. We do video visits, which is quite helpful (and preferred). I instantly felt comfortable talking with Dr. Primak and was very impressed with his insights and professionalism and definitely understanding my mental health issues. I had been taking antidepressants For many many years, but couldn’t seem to pull out of my current depression the last couple of years. He instantly made changes in my medications. I was taking three pills a day two different prescriptions. He weaned me off of those prescriptions and started me on Zoloft. Within just a few short weeks, I noticed quite a change in my overall mental health and state of depression. It’s been an obvious change in my personality and overall happiness noticed by my husband, family and friends. I also plan to start seeing a therapist from LifeStance on a regular basis as I feel this will improve my overall happiness to the next level.

This is for Jennie Buss-Gregory, my amazing therapist! I’d avoided going back to therapy for a while because I was struggling to find a truly good therapist - especially one that works with my insurance. Jennie is outstanding! Her somatic techniques and her expertise in working with them are a perfect fit for what I’m healing through. Plus, she is extremely kind and caring without being any sort of pushover. I’ve needed this for a long time, and I’m so grateful to have found her. The work we are doing together is making a tangible, real difference in my life. Thank you, Jennie!!

I cannot recommend Rhonda Duncan Higgs highly enough! From our very first session, she made me feel comfortable and understood. Her insights and strategies have been incredibly helpful in navigating my challenges. Rhonda has a unique ability to blend professionalism with warmth, making each session feel both safe and productive. I genuinely look forward to our meetings, as she always offers new perspectives that help me grow. If you’re seeking a therapist who truly cares and knows how to make a difference, look no further than Rhonda! Five stars all the way!

My psychiatric nurse practitioner is incredible. Even in a 15-minute appointment, she truly listens and addresses my needs with thoughtfulness and care. She always makes me feel heard, validated, and like my time with her really matters. As a clinician myself, I know how rare it is to find a psychiatric provider like her. I’d recommend her to everyone if I wasn’t afraid her schedule would fill up so fast!❤️
