I’ve had a great therapist at LifeStance Health, but suddenly she left the practice, what can I do?

If your therapist at LifeStance Health has left, the first thing you should do is ask about a plan for moving forward. To make sure that care stays consistent, call LifeStance Health and ask if they can suggest a new doctor with the same or similar credentials or experience.

If LifeStance Health doesn't have a specific suggestion, ask your therapist who is leaving you for a reference to another provider. You might be able to get in touch with someone they know in the area. You can also look for therapists who specialize in the same things you are looking for in mental health directories or online tools.

If it's hard to find a new doctor in person, you might want to look into teletherapy. There are a lot of therapists who give online sessions, which are convenient. Also, let LifeStance Health know how you feel about how the change is changing your care. Lastly, check your insurance plan to make sure that switching doctors is covered.

These are key methods that we can offer. If you have more, please share.
