    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.

    Seeing this doctor was a very crushing experience. She basically diagnosed my entire family with a…read moredisorder of some sort. Suggested books that had nothing to do with my stress. I expressed some stress with a handicap family member and she shrugged her shoulders and said, "institutionalize her". She would nod off during conversations... I also gave her some paperwork for work and she word for word said it was more trouble than it's worth and literally walked me out the door. I don't recommend at all.

    I don't know why the other review on this page describes Dr. Ibis Pena Garcia's experience as…read morecrushing. As for me, this woman has been more than just a therapist. I started seeing Ibis at the age of 15 when my parents divorced, I am now 31 years old and although I do not attend her sessions as often as I would like, when I do get around to going she has never failed to help me and steer me back to normalcy. When I first came to Ibis back in 2001, my parents had recently divorced and my life from there was never the same. I suffer from ADD and display most symptoms correlating with Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and alternating between manic states and depression. Life for me has not been easy but the best thing that has ever happened to me was meeting Dr. Pena Garcia. I really do believe that she was always that inner strength in the back of my head pushing me along throughout the years. She is firm but compassionate, she does not sugar coat things for you and thats a good thing. I very much doubt that she would ever be dismissive of anyone. Throughout the years, I have seen her grow and vice versa; but never once has she made me feel unworthy of her time. I haven't been the most stable or responsible patient concerning appointments, I've stopped going for very long periods of time, I've missed scheduled sessions, and yet I have not one complain about her. I am currently a nurse whose back in school obtaining a bachelors degree and that I owe to this amazing human being. I also have three kids, one of which I'm almost certain suffers from ADHD and a household to sustain while in school. I have managed to control the bipolar symptoms through medication and referrals from Ibis. I still suffer from ADD but will return soon to continue seeking help for this condition. In the almost 16 years or so that I have been seeing Ibis, I have never really taken the time to thank her and tell her that my life would have been a complete mess and I would have never made it to where I am today. I don't agree with the review in which states that she doses off because she is very professional and truly cares about her patients. Yes, she also diagnosed my family and she was absolutely right! It might not have been what I wanted to hear in an ideal world but you deal with things and you move on with appropriate help. Coming from someone who works in the medical field and deals with patients, telling someone what they want to hear is not exactly the most ethical approach, that would be providing someone with false reassurance which is highly frowned upon. To the future patients seeking help, I wouldn't think twice about giving her a chance. If you go in with a negative mindset, then negative results is what you will get. Good Luck!
