My husband and I have had a wonderful experience with Lotus Counseling Center, specifically…read moreVictoria Raymond. We sought out her assistance/help as roughly six months ago my husband and I hit a breaking point (in full disclosure) with many life changes going on (cross-country move, differences in habits/space, job-related change etc.). To be transparent, I felt (because of the circumstances) we were on our last leg. The only thing I could think of to help was maybe therapy so I looked online and saw Lotus (and Victoria) had good reviews and instantaneously requested to book a session with her. I had been to two other relationship counselors in another city from some time ago that did not help at all, so was not quite confident (even with seeing good reviews about this center) that our situation could be helped. I have to say I was wrong about my doubts. Victoria was very easy to talk to, listened objectively and provided some strategies and exercises that truly caused us to think differently and apply different methods which started to improve our daily interactions. I also like that she is direct and honest. She is not one of those therapists that asks 'how does that makes you feel' while scribbling on a note pad and looking at you robotically like you're a specimen in a lab. Of course she cares about how you feel and does ask, but she also has personality and gives her opinion/thoughts to you straight while showing empathy at the same time. She does not take sides, but if you are acting in a way that's not being constructive to yourself or your partner, she will let you know. I like that direct approach, but it is not in a harsh way.. it is straightforward and meant to help, which in our case, it did! She truly cares about your progress as an individual and a couple and this has been evident in her work with us. My husband and I, after starting on very shaky ground prior to seeing Victoria, are at a much better place in our relationship, have been communicating ten fold better, have gotten the *spark* (romance) back and honestly feel that we are doing better now than when we were in the 'honeymoon' phase of our relationship (we have been together almost 7 years). We were doing therapy once a week and still plan to talk to/see (after Covid 19 situation improves) Victoria for 'tune ups'/check ins as needed (I believe therapy is not a bad thing to partake in, even when things aren't at their worst), but can say that the bulk of our challenge/mission has been complete and my husband has mellowed out significantly (thank the Lord, Amen! lol). In all seriousness, I highly recommend Victoria and Lotus Counseling Center for your counseling needs, especially couples counseling (since this is what I can speak on). We can't thank Victoria enough and the whole staff there is very nice and professional (and handles insurance billing in a competent manner as well). Stay safe out there folks and hope everyone finds themself mentally and emotionally balanced during these Covid times. God bless.

This is a greedy company with very greedy people. They charge you for your appointment early in the…read moremorning day of your appointment, basically washing their hands on everything that might happen that same day, they simply don't care. Interestingly enough they don't call or text you days before the appointment, so it's a win win for them because they charge $75 for no show and your copayment fot the day as well. And they don't keep your file after a month, so if for X or Y reasons you can't go they erase you from the system and then you have to fill out all the paperwork again. My personal experience was very bad and shady. Don't go there.

I had posted a review regarding my worrying and extensively unprofessional, even unethical,…read moreexperience placing my mental and physical health with Ms. Rahman for others to be aware when seeking care for themselves. After several serious issues which needed addressing, I had a conversation with her and Lucy Fernandez, in charge of the office, in which I at least felt Ms. Fernandez validated the actual evidence of issues I had because of this person. Today, Ms. Fernandez wrote me to ask I remove my negative review because "we both understand how important these reviews are." I did so to avoid future communication with the office. Then I realised I do know how important they are which is why I wrote it in the first place and decided I needed to keep this truth here. Not everyone has a negative time, in fact, as I previously stated, I had worked with two other professionals here who for whom I have only the highest praise. But Ms. Rahman has no regard for patients and now I see her superior holds stars on Yelp more important than a patient's warning to others in the same vulnerable position. I would've respected her asking me to update my review after our conversation to credit her efforts (again Ms. Rahman only furthered her negative qualities throughout the talk) but this I found to be a form of bullying for self-advancement. Unfortunate for a mental health care professional. Our relationship has now ended with me asking they refrain from future contact with me.

My fiancee had four sessions with Mirta Pont for EMDR therapy through Coral Gables Counseling…read moreCenter. Mirta was great, and made her feel heard. EMDR is a strange and unique therapy that helped my fiancee work through a lot of trauma in her past. Mirta made real progress with her, and she is a great therapist. Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience with the staff and the cost of the sessions. We originally paid for 100% of her appointments out of pocket. This was $175 for each appointment. The staff assured us that our insurance will cover most of the therapy, and told us that we would get a refund of any excess payment after insurance got back to them with the exact amount. After her second appointment, we wanted to hold off on scheduling more sessions until we knew exactly how much it would cost. The staff insisted that we continue to make appointments every week. We were worried about the cost, but since they told us our insurance would likely pay for most of it, we continued to make more appointments. Our insurance eventually returned the claims and said they will be paying 0%. Apparently this is a very unique situation, and the staff was dumbfounded with this. They made a mistake in reading our coverage. I asked if they could refund half of the cost of my fiancee's sessions, since they made a mistake in telling us that our insurance would cover this. They said they would not be refunding anything. I would not recommend working with this group. Mirta was great as a therapist, but the Counseling Center was not there to help us after they cost us hundreds of dollars with their mistake. We called them several times and spoke to several people, but they never sent us back any of our payment. I hope that maybe they will rethink this decision and write us a check for half of our lost money. If that happens, I will update this review accordingly.
