I’d been to a few different therapists all seemed the same just giving generic responses and not really trying to get to help me get to the root of things. When I started seeing my provider with Lifestance my whole therapy experience changed for the better. I actually feel like I’m making progress and feel positive after our sessions are through.

Highly recommend this practice and specifically Melissa. Professional, intentional, intelligent, and caring. I always feel safe with her when things are heavy. I credit a lot of my progress in healing to my time with her. (This is showing up under my husbands name, totally not him typing it. Just a shared google account)

My only complaint I have is the extra hold times for I get to talk to anyone. As far as Melissa and Lauren I couldn't ask for anyone better. Give them the highest rating possible. Mark graves

First meeting was on-line. She was very easy to talk with, and appeared non-judge mental and empathetic to my situation. I am looking forward to meeting with her in person today
