See what our patients are saying about Tonya Mccarroll

I have been seeing psychiatrists all over the US due to my husband being active duty over the last 15 years and I can easily say that Miss Tonya is by far one of the best! She listens to my problems and she ensures that whatever plan of action she’s thinking of, we both agree on. Miss Tonya is not pushy and she is exceptionally patient with me! She is kind, caring and professional! I am and forever will be incredibly grateful and thankful for Miss Tonya! I would highly recommend her! 10/10

I have only good things to say about Lifestance providers. I changed from another local very large psych office where I was getting very poor care and follow-up. That office even gave me a list of medications and told me to pick what I wanted to try and they would prescribe it. The providers with Lifestance have been so helpful and caring and actually pinpointed my problems and prescribed the right medicine to get me on track. This is a great place for psych care.

We absolutely love seeing Tonya. She is the most empathetic and kind person. From the first appointment we had I felt like she really tried to get to know my son and cared about his success. She has worked through his anxieties and went out of her way to plan his care in a way that made him feel comfortable. I can't recommend her enough, and I do recommend her to everyone!

I absolutely love my nurse, Ms. Tonya. She listens to what I'm telling her about how I'm feeling and what's going on in my life, and she adjusts my medicine as needed. I really do appreciate all that she does for me each month.
