Therapists are great, but if you go to the Riverside, directions are impossible. They dont tell you which of the 3 buildings your appointment is in, and the sheet of paper with the lists of therapists needs to be updated. Not only is it in only one building that we could see, but it didnt even list the therapist we were going to. It took us 15 minutes of wandering and finally finding someone to help to be able to find the correct office. We tried the phone number posted to get directions, and were on hold for the whole 15 minutes. Please find a better way to help your clients navigate your confusing campus. Our appointment was great, but the navigation was frustrating and nearly impossible without help.

My therapist, Kristin, has been wonderful with helping me process my week, manage my anxiety, and overall improving my mental health. I highly recommend LifeStance to people seeking therapy

My review is long over due. I am sure Life Stance has very qualified therapist that can make a difference in the lives of those seeking help. However, in my case, I encountered a very difficult situation with the therapist I was seeing. My situation was handled very poorly, not only by that therapist, but also by those in positions of leadership at Life Stance. Long story short, I was hospitalized for 4 days due to the incompetent manner in which they handled my situation, and I am still recovering from the whole situation I went through with them... Along the way, afterwards, I have met some very caring and supportive therapist and counselors who heard my story and agree that my situation was indeed handled very poorly... In addition, dont expect your messages to be returned promptly. Pardon my french, but their front line support really sucks.

I had a great experience with this platform! A link was sent to my Gmail account with one Join Meeting button. I was connected with the therapist with one click. This technology was very intuitive, and the audio and video were clear and easy to use.Knowing I can talk to a therapist from my home is extremely comforting. I would definitely recommend this platform for therapy services!

I got a little stuck and needed help to navigate through some trauma. I was assigned a therapist quickly and she is amazing. I feel that anyone can benefit from therapy if you have an open mind and are ready to do the work.

Going through this experience was easy breezy! I just waited for the email, clicked “join” to join the call and my phone did the rest! I didn’t have to download any type of app or connect my audio or video manually; there was absolutely no hassle. I parked and took my call in the car and was able to hear and see clearly during the entire thing. It was awesome that I didn’t have to physically go anywhere. Seriously can’t wait for more people to try this out!

Tele-therapy is the way of the future, and connecting with Heart-Centered Counseling of Fort Collins couldnt have been an easier experience. Not only is it accessible with the click of a button, but it allows patients/users to get all the benefits of therapy without having to leave the comfort of their home.All that you need is a device with a camera and microphone, and using the link to get in the video chat with a therapist is super easy. Anyone dealing with parts of their life that they would like help with should definitely give this a shot,. Youre still talking with a real person who has the skills to assist you. Dont hesitate, just try it!

My psychiatrist is 10/10. I adore them, but Life stance as a company is AWFUL. Make plans to call them because you will be on hold for a while...if the automated system doesnt hang up on you. The staff did a great job at connecting me to the right doctor, but getting ahold of them is nightmarish. 72 hours before my meds could get refilled? This company is why health care is so flawed. They have AMAZING doctors, but all of the hoops you have to go through just to get a hold of someone is terrible. AND if you say that you can book appointments online then let us...and not say that we actually have to call. I dont have 20 minutes to stay on hold when Im at work.

Review №16

It probably has more to do with the therapist you see, but Ive had a wonderful experience. I see Lesley Caldwell and she helped me tremendously with my depression. She also has really awesome exercises for working through trauma, so if thats a key issue for you Id recommend her highly. When I first approached this practice I had never done therapy before, but the receptionists who helped me schedule were extremely helpful and patient and respond to voicemails very quickly. I have never been to the actual place due to starting therapy in the midst of the pandemic, but I am overall very satisfied with my experience and would recommend checking out their list of therapists and their bios on their website, as thats how I found someone who worked for me.

Review №17

This has been helpful through this pandemic. I somewhat agree with an earlier post the you can tell the therapists are nw, however I think they also really want to help, more than someone who makes so much money they can drop you from their practice for any reason they feel.Overall it has been a positive experience. Doing it over the computer is easy, but not my preference.

I was reluctant at first to do counselling by tele-health, but my fears were quickly abated! Kim put me at ease right away, and she has been my constant help through these very tough times. I have come to depend on her knowledge and expertise - she really understands my situation and continues to guide my path! I cant give her enough praise; shes absolutely the best counsellor Ive ever had.

Review №22

If you’re looking for an alternative to in-person therapy sessions, then I highly recommend this service – its super user-friendly. I was logged into a call within a few clicks. As someone who is a first-timer in taking therapy sessions, it has been extremely nice to be able to connect with a professional and virtually – I’m terrified to go into a doctor’s office so there was no way I was stepping foot into a therapist’s office. I commend the team behind the virtual build-out as I don’t’ often come by simple and easy connection processes on most platforms. No login issues, no 20,000 authentication errors or pop-ups. No hassle!

I highly recommend the tele-therapy services that Heart-Centered Counseling offers. The platform they use is very user-friendly. The start-up process consisted of logging into your email, clicking on a link, and then your session begins. My experience could not have been better. Frankly, the hardest part was remembering the password to my email. Plus, you can have meaningful sessions from the comforts of your couch (perhaps with a furry friend nearby). 10/10 recommend.

The platform was very easy to use! The login consisted of simply signing into my Gmail account and then clicking a link. Anyone of any age can do this.The quality of the meeting was up to Google standards - high quality video and clear audio. I would feel very comfortable having recurring therapy sessions on this platform.I would 100% recommend this for therapy services.

This platform was so easy to use! Tele health is so important during this Covid time am so happy I took a chance on this platform. The technology was so simple! I was also worried that it would be awkward to meet a provider virtually but it could not have been made to be more comfortable! I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!!

Review №37

The remote therapy is an excellent option! Logging in was as simple as clicking the link emailed to me and there was no hassling with a conference or pin number. I think that this is extremely convenient for anyone seeking help with mental health and takes the time constraint of traveling out of the equation and allows you to benefit from the comfort of your home.

This was such an amazing experience. What a time to be alive! Technology has made a lot of things easy in today’s world. Who would have known that with the click of a button, you can have virtual therapy/consultations without being physically present. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to try it out. Just go for it. It saved me a lot of stress. I felt so comfortable and relaxed all through the process. It was so easy and seamless. I look forward to my next therapy session. Thank you for making things super easy for people like me.

The process of telehealth with the therapist was super easy to navigate. Received an email and just had to click a link to connect. We had some hiccups with the initial connection but the tech support was easy to understand and resolved in less than 5 minutes! She was patient and kind. Telehealth was a super convenient way to get the help I needed without ever leaving my home!

​Not all have the courage to seek help and counseling. It takes you and a great team of people to work things out; and there where Heart-Centered Counseling justified their name! Their diverse yet incredible therapists and staff​s​ will always lend a hand, may it be about your appointments, insurance or anything that would involve your counseling. I will not think twice recommending them to them to any family and to anyone who might need help. ​ ​

I highly recommend the tele-therapy service available :) it is a great way for anyone in a remote location or for any reason not able to leave their home to still receive mental health services. Very easy to use the app platform and still feels very personal since you can see and hear the person just as if you are in person with them.

Review №44

Teletherapy is an excellent option for when you cant get to the office but you need to see your therapist!While it may seem odd to go through Google Meet as a way to get therapy, everything is HIPAA compliant as long as you are in a secure place. I might check my own privacy settings on my browser and phone before the session, but other than that, not concerned at all.The set up process is super easy and only took minutes - open your email, click a link, make sure your camera and microphones are on, and off you go.

The name say it all: if you are looking to be heard and understood in a warm and safe environment, Heart-Centered Counseling is the place to begin. Dr. Carl and his associates have the experience and expertise to help in most every situation imaginable. Heart-Centered Counseling accepts most insurances and offers a sliding scale fee. No obligation and entirely confidential. If they cant help, they can help you find someone who will.

Review №48

They werent kidding about being heart-centered! The front staff, insurance team, and the therapists Ive talked to have been very welcoming. I think asking for help is one of the toughest things you can do, and this center makes it 100x easier. You can schedule with a 1st-time appointment right there over the phone, they check your insurance for you, and send appointment reminders right to your email or phone! What I love most about this center is: the quiet/calming atmosphere in the lobby. You just check-in to an iPad and youre all set! Highly recommend to you and your loved ones!

I was hesitant to try the tele-therapy system but I must say I was blown away! Their platform was extremely easy to use, and the best part was that I didnt need to leave home (although you can have your session anywhere). I highly recommend anyone in need of services to give tele-therapy a try!

I highly recommend Heart-Centered Counseling for any clients in need of counseling services, specifically tele-therapy. The staff have a tele-therapy platform that serves clients throughout remote areas that is user friendly, reliable and private. If you live in a remote area or are interested in tele-therapy services definitely reach out to their office!

Review №55

They made my first appointment with a nurse instead of a therapist. I did not need to see a nurse I needed a therapist so I had to pay for a useless appointment that I didnt need. Then my second appointment that was finally going to be with a therapist was cancelled because they double booked the appointment. And now in the last week Ive tried calling a couple times to try and make an appointment and no one has been answering the phone!

Review №56

The tele-therapy counseling that Heart-Centered offers is simple, convenient, and user-friendly! Id highly recommend it for anyone looking for remote mental health services. The staff at Heart-Centered care about providing accessible mental health options to individuals in CO and beyond, and their confidential, HIPAA-compliant tele-therapy platform certainly achieves this mission. Traveling? Moving? Inclement weather? You dont have to worry about missing an appointment with your provider thanks to Heart-Centered Counselings tele-therapy. 5/5!

Tele-Therapy has an easy way to get the help you need. If you have a phone, tablet, laptop and the internet, getting to see and talk to someone may just be the right thing for you! I know just talking to someone today has put a smile on my face. - Joy

I tested the teletherapy system with Heart-Centered Counseling and was pleased with how easy to it was to connect with a therapist and have a session. There were no issues with the video or sound quality and it only took a minute to set up an encrypted, private video call. My experience with Heart-Centered Counseling was great and Carl is one of the kindest people Ive had the pleasure to talk with. As a homebody it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Heart-Centered Counseling to anyone who is thinking of starting teletherapy.

My therapist texted me while I was in the waiting room and said “sorry, thought I texted you earlier. Having emergency and can’t come.” Then I called the main number and got voicemail during business hours. They have this whole spiel about how they are so dedicated and return calls fast. After it got to the beep I got the “This mailbox is full.” Heart Centered Counseling.... Nah not so much.

Review №64

One star is for their call-back/return call rate which is abysmal-- it took an unbelievable amount of messages to get in for myself-- business runs without support staff front-desk so the first appointments is a challenge?? That said the counselor I saw was outstanding. There are pretty offices, and exceptional counselors. Now heres my beef, I had to make herculean effort to have my teenager call (father is bi-polar, and blocked efforts to have her seen), she finally called--three months ago, but never was her call for an appointment acknowledged/returned. Im sorry to say that she felt like she didnt matter. Ive worked in places where there is support staff that comes from high school program where the cost is reduced. Why cant this business due this?

Telehealth access was extremely simple, easy, and comfortable- its no wonder that people have been rating telehealth appointments to be just as good as in-person therapy.
