Olga Capriata is an excellent clinician, with over 20 years experience in the Mental Health/Social Work field. I have seen Mrs. Capriata work well, navigating between the many schools, children and families that we serviced over the years. Ms. Capriata is meticulous, well-organized, and goal- oriented when she works with you, yet she is down to earth, and responsive to the needs of her clients. Overall, Ms. Capriata helps empower clients to make the desired changes they want in their lives.Joanna Headley-Pigott Ph.D., LMHC More...

The office is lovely, and the staff helped me feel immediately comfortable. I had a great experience at Lotus, and I highly recommend their team of psychologists and therapists to anyone seeking help with relationship issues or any emotional wellness issues.

After my divorce, Alessana Fordin helped me to turn my life around.  She was very quick to help me identify my issues and gave me very practical solutions and strategies to address them.  I highly recommend Alessana.

The quality of my life has greatly improved through the personal advocacy and consistent support of Alessana Fordin. Her professionalism and compassion are readily reflected at Lotus Counseling Center. It offers a comfortable and safe environment in which to explore feelings previously not reconciled or even recognized. I have recommended Lotus Counseling to several friends and they seem equally impressed. I continue to eagerly recommend Lotus Counseling to anyone interested in personal growth and discovery.Gary D.

Lotus Counseling is like the friend that's always there for me...truly! My schedule is very hectic and takes me all around the tri-county area. Luckily, Lotus is now in Boca too!! The quality of care and service I receive at all locations is top-notch and the fact that I can see my therapist wherever the week finds me is beyond wonderful! I highly recommend this group!!!

My experiences with Lotus in both Aventura and Brickell were extremely helpful for me. Alessana and the other therapists and administrative staff were highly professional, highly capable and highly recommended.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience here; I cannot recommend Dr. Victoria Raymond enough when it comes to couples counseling. We went to her because we needed help resolving a particular issue in our marriage; from the first session we felt a great connection with her. She made us feel that she really listened to us and would sometimes pick-up on little language nuissance neither one of us noticed and make us explore our feelings about what was just said.Little things like that really made us improve our communication with each other and strengthen our relationship. Without a doubt I feel going to see her was very helpful to resolving our issue and after just one session I had a much deeper and real understanding of my wife's feelings and needs.The atmosphere and decor is very relaxing and welcoming, the couch is quite comfortable and Dr. Raymond has a very soothing, calming, and accepting demeanor that immediately allows you to connect with her, establish trust, and open up.While we went for couples counseling I would absolutely go see her for individual sessions as well if I ever needed to. I honestly cannot recommend her enough.My only con is that they don't take our insurance, while this is nothing we can help and has nothing to do with the therapists it did keep us from coming back week after week once our issue was resolved. I would have loved to keep going weekly as I found that hour with Dr. Raymond and my wife was one of the highlights of my week and I always left feeling like I just had a mental massage.Having said that, while their regular rates may seem high to some people I must stress that they are absolutely worth it. I went to other therapists before her and in one session I found her much more effective than several sessions at other places; the higher rates would not keep me from coming back when I need it.TL;DR: Dr. Victoria Raymond is the best therapist I've ever been to and I'm confident she's able to help you with your emotional and/or relationship issues.

We had the good fortune to work with some of Lotus Counseling's associates on a few issues and I cannot say enough good things! From the treatment received from both our therapist and administrative staff to the wonderful breakthroughs and tools that came as the result of sessions...I cannot thank Lotus enough and have recommended them to those that needed help navigating through life's difficult moments as well as those with major life-long challenges.

My main review is under Lotus' Brickell location, as that is the office we visited most frequently, but I had to review the Aventura location since our therapist was able to accommodate our schedule there on a few occasions; this is one of the many reasons I love Lotus! The staff is caring and accommodating and at the end, I had always walked away feeling lighter, brighter and empowered! More...

My life has changed dramatically since I started working with Alessana and Lotus Counseling. I've been empowered to face my own issues and begin the process of dealing with them on a level I never was able to before. Alessana Fordin is a professional for whom I have the highest regard and I would recommend anyone to work with her who is looking to change some aspect of their lives. Her intelligence, compassion and caring (along with her honesty), made our sessions highly productive. I would highly recommend her and any of the Lotus therapists to anyone! More...
