Lydecker Diaz Attorneys & Counselors

I started working with Alessana to treat depression and anxiety. Years ago, I would never have thought that I would be in the place that I'm in today. My work with her has greatly improved all aspects of my life. I have a better relationship with myself and others. Alessana is truly the best at what she does. She is very compassionate, intelligent, understanding, and kind. She has guided me to overcome and understand a lot of challenges that I've had. Going to Lotus has been one of the most fufilling choices that I've made for myself. I am forever thankful for the work that we've done together!!

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.nJoanna Headley-Pigott Ph.D., LMHC

Seeing this therapist did put me at ease did it solve all my problems no but it gave me another understanding.

My wife and I had a fantastic experience here; I cannot recommend Dr. Victoria Raymond enough when it comes to couples counseling.nnWe 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.nnLittle 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.nnThe 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.nnWhile 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.nnMy 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.nnHaving 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.nnTL;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.

What I've learned from going here is that in the long run it's cheaper to just talk out your issues with your partner yourself, and not use what amounts to a very expensive brick wall to throw your ideas at. The couch was comfortable, but after going to Walmart and buying a new couch, I realized it was much cheaper than receiving further sessions at this location.
