She works very well with couples, and individually with men, women and adolescents. Her reputation is well-earned--many of my clients and colleagues speak highly of her, and her reviews reflect the deep impact she has on those she works with. Carolyn goes above and beyond--she's incredibly responsive and makes herself available in moments of real need, even outside typical hours. Most importantly, she brings a rare blend of warmth, clinical insight, and deep commitment to the well-being of her clients.

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.

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.

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.

I don't think anyone likes to talk about it, and heck, I was hesitant myself to write this review,…read morebut the reality of is that there's no shame in visiting a psychologist. Sometimes we just need someone to listen to us, to care for us. Without getting into too many details, I have been going on and off to a psychologist for years now and recently I found myself having one of my on periods. This is exactly how I came about to finding South Miami Psychology Group, and more specifically, Denise Hueso, who I saw for several months. Denise is an angel - smart, kind, always warm and welcoming, never judgmental, but rather the type of person that felt more like seeing an old friend than a therapist. I must also say that she is something else. She is very flexible with her hours and always saw me right before I would go to work. 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM, eek, and yet seeing her never felt like a chore. She always had common courtesy, offering coffee, tea, and water. Denise aside, this office is located in a building with multiple floors. Specifically the office is on the second floor, and to be let into the building as early as I was, well, you had to be buzzed in. Once in, going into the actual office was admittedly a bit intimidating. The waiting area is full of white walls and the receptionist is never in so early, so if it weren't for the fact that I opted to wait and see, I may have never seen my therapist to begin with. This is one matter I think the office should work on as honestly the office feels cold and sterile. It doesn't spread warmth and it isn't inviting at all despite various motivational quotes on the wall. Parking is plentiful, although everything is metered. If you go before 9 AM, it's free, so there is that to consider. Hmm, making an appointment is easy as you can either do it through e-mail, via phone, or even at the end of your session with your therapist. They take insurance as well, and although usually booked, they will try to accommodate you. I experienced this firsthand one time when Denise had to cancel an appointment over a personal matter and she made time to see me that week despite being booked. I have no idea if the rest of the staff at South Miami Psychology Group is the same, but at least in my experience, this place helped plenty and I'm so grateful. If you need to see someone, consider coming here; remember there is no shame in needing help. Life is unpredictable and we're simply human. Take care of yourself and each other; with that said, signing off.

After 3 attempts and 2 payments of $375 being cancelled, I tried reaching out over the phone once more. There is no phone number for the service allows you to speak, person-to-person, with a human being. That being said, the extra star is there because they might be alright at therapy. They just come off as greedy and cold before you get in the door. P.S. The aforementioned "door" is metaphorical as they are still Tele-health only. At this juncture in the pandemic, it just seems impersonal.
