Amazing therapist but terrible office. My sessions were suspended for a $20 copay that wasn’t received within 24 hours. They should have bought a restaurant instead of a mental health facility if they wanted to run a business. Terrible experience

Emily Kyte medically abandoned me during the worst time of my life. When I needed her most she just disappeared and blamed me for not “communicating my needs properly.” She said she was transferring my treatment, but when I called the new therapist she said she didn’t take my insurance and had told emily a month ago. Lifestance made excuses and when I brought up medical malpractice I finally heard back from her. In the end it was all lies, gaslighting and oops. Emily, clearly you must be very mentally ill yourself to treat a long time patient like that so casually.
