Pros
As an early career psychologist, working for LifeStance has been excellent. They are a younger company that expanded quickly over the last few years. There are clearly communicated efforts from upper management to work on the internal processes to streamline work and improve processes for both patients and clinicians. As a clinician, I have felt supported and encouraged to grow my skillset and practice. They provide ample continuing education opportunities, too. Last, there has been clear communication from upper management about DEI efforts and the importance of these values in our work.
Cons
Due to the quick expansion and the size of the company, the internal processes that are being addressed to streamline things has felt clunky. Although it has been frustrating at times, this is to be expected with this large of a company.
