The most terrible experience you can get .Never had the session, of course noone returned my calls ,paid in advance. Please save your time and money.I guess all the good reviews are from paid people or their fake friends. Be aware of this practice!
I have to say my experience with Therapist, Theresa, was and has always been positive.She is a good listener,helps and encourages a dialogue between us. I feel she, Theresa, creates an atmosphere of trust, which gives me confidence to share information, and feelshe gives honest feedback. She takes her time to learn about a client, gain trust, very empathetic. I enjoy having her as our family Therapist. My husband and i are positive about our experience with Theresa.Thank you for having someone as Theresa to help others in need to focus and put their lives in perspective.
I have been working with Kate for close to two years and it has truly changed my life for the better. She is patient, a great listener, and really cares about what she does. Her insights are thought provoking and she is extremely validating in the most supportive and encouraging way. I cannot recommend Lana Gaiton Psychological Services highly enough.
One of the best decisions I have made in a long time was choosing to go to Lana Gaiton Psychological Services. My weekly meetings with Robert have made me feel stronger mentally and have made such a positive impact on my life. I always look forward to my next session with Robert and would totally recommend the services that he and Lana Gaiton provide to anyone looking for help, encouragement, or just someone to talk to.
I am so happy that I found Lana Gaiton psychological. I have been a patient there for some time now and they have helped me in so many ways. they are very thorough, kind and patient. from the therapist to the staff, my wait time was not long, the staff was kind and informative. I will definitely recommended Lana Gaiton psychological to my co workers, friends and family.
Ive been going to this office for a year and it has been life-changing! Dr. Tuller is an amazing therapist. He is attentive and gives me great advice. I feel like I dont have to pretend to be okay when I have such kind professionals around that can help me with whatever I need. Would definitely recommend this place if you or someone you love is going through a tough time.
I was working with Natalia Nikulina who is a very warm person and knowledgeable therapist. Natalia is very supportive and carrying about my health progress. She is very attentive to what I am saying which shows that she cares about me as her patient. She also has a lot of positive energy, always smiling, and makes me feel relaxed. Highly recommend her!
My wife passed away last year, and I was able to find a great bereavement counselor through Lana Gaiton. The payment setup is very simple, their office is very close to my home. Kathy, the counselor, has done a wonderful job helping me navigate this difficult time.
I just started going here, but this place is already amazing. I called late one day (when most offices are closed) but a friendly staff member answered the phone and booked me an appointment on the same week within five minutes. Just started seeing Tali. Seems like a wonderful fit. Cant wait to continue my healing journey here further. :)Seriously, though! Many offices dont answer their phones or close early. Or they just have a voicemail system only, no staff on premises. This place seems always available and friendly + helpful.
Ive had therapists close to 20 years now, and the best therapist Ive ever had was at Lana Gaiton.At the end of our first session, he asked what I actually wanted out of my treatment, and despite the fact that I had been going to therapists since I was 8 years old, none had ever actually asked me that before.From there we formed a relatioship that has greatly helped me get through some very tumultuous and stressful parts of my life in a way that therapy had never actually managed before.
Horribly unprofessional staff. I had the misfortune of having a receptionist named Liana, who started arguing with me out of the blue when I called to make an appointment. Her bizarre improper behavior made me not go forward with retaining their service. Ironic that someone who behaves like this towards patients works in a field meant to help people.
My son was with Ramiz, we found him to be a very calm, helpful, professional, and open minded therapist. He helped my son through a hard time, and now that we arent in need anymore, we suggest him to anybody out there looking for a therapist.
TherapistI have been thru many therapists over the years and until now I have never benefited truly from therapy.Ms Theresa is kind. Trustworthy and allows be the space to live thru my past to make me a better person in my future. For the first time I feel I can speak freely. Be myself and not fear repercussions for being completely honest.She is also dedicated. Not like the many state shrinks I’ve dealt with.If I feel the need to talk or don’t understand she will take time out and not treat me like a billed client in a schedule. I know that I can always reach out even if it’s not my day and if she’s busy she will make time even if it’s 5 minutes to assure I’m on solid ground.
We waited patiently for a therapist to set up a zoom call with my child around the scheduled times that worked for us and the therapist. My child met with the therapist, Irina, who spent the allotted time getting to know my child and have her open up...only to tell MY CHILD (not her parents who set up the entire meeting) that this was the one and only time they would meet because she can’t see her anymore on the designated days. HORRIBLE ETHICS HORRIBLE PROFESSIONAL ETHICS to have a first-time therapy session with a child only to abandon her and not even have the decency to discuss with her guardians. Seems to me like they just wanted to bill a session and then toss A CHILD to the side. Disgusting.
I was working with Olga from Lana Gaiton Psychological for almost a year. I have only good words to say about Olga Gonsirovska. She’s very competent, understanding, and a great specialist. Olga was very attentive listener. I highly recommend her services.
My child goes here for play therapy and it has helped tremendously. Ramiz and Victoria are patient, understanding, and are prompt to answer any questions/concerns. Theyre flexible with availability and they accept insurance. Keep up the great work!
I’ve been seeing my therapist, Theresa, for almost two years now and it’s been a life changing experience. The entire practice has been very wonderful and has helped me with all of my needs. Highly recommend!
If I could give this place a negative star I would I went for a psychological for a surgery it was a requirement I saw Theresa and everything went well she was a nice person when it was time for her to send the paperwork she ghosted me she wouldn’t answer my text or calls... she held me up with the paperwork... I called the office the people at the desk told me they would get back to me, took them weeks. Then I got a call saying I needed to do the evaluation over which I refused because I shouldn’t have to do it over for u to charge my insurance twice... I had to threaten to call the department of health for them to even get a call back for the head dr Gaiton!!! I had the worst experience ever
Worked with Patricia for a few months and she was awesome. Best therapy experience I ever had. I felt like I made a true change in the way I looked at my life and that was thanks in part to her.
My therapist Theresa has given me a warm place for my pain. Shes my safe place to fall.She listens without judgement.....Its helped me in ways O cant describe....thank you Thersa. No longer a client. Good luck
I was very lucky to find my psychotherapist Olga Gonsiorowska. She is very knowledgeable and professional. She helped me a lot to reveal and understand my problems. I feel much better now. Still in therapy.
** Edit: Please note in the owners response section they tried to use the fact I had feelings about my experience with their business to dismiss and discredit my review. That seems like an unprofessional, manipulative tactic for a business specializing in psychology to utilize, and at no point do they deny that their policy prohibits any non-immediate family from communicating with the care provider.Original Review:If your support network consists of non-immediate family, this is the not the place to go. While it is law that they cannot give out patient information, they will not allow a friend to share pertinent and concerning information with the doctor, even if that friend is the clients sole support network. The only alternative they offer is for the support person to attend the session with the client, which can be impossible due to child care. As this is mental health being dealt with, such a poor policy can have profoundly negative repercussions for the client.EDIT TO ADD: as you can see from the owners response, they consider sharing pertinent, concerning information regarding a clients mental health with the provider to be inappropriate and sharing their own policy is punishing them. They will never communicate with a non-immediate family member in any other way than in person at the clients appointment. As I am my friends only support, I would be taking care of her child so she could attend sessions. Of course I became angry, I was desperate to get my friend the help she needed and a business policy of never speaking to anyone not considered immediate family was putting my friend in danger of not receiving the care she needed--- and being told it would be a HIPAA violation was a lie or ignorance on their part---please cite the area of the law that prevents a provider from receiving information. I was eventually able to get my friend the help she needed with a provider interested in involving her support network as that provider understood the very nature of certain mental illnesses requires it and didnt try to make up a law out of ignorance or laziness.
Very happy with Ramiz (25th Ave location). He is professional, passionate about his work and caring. My son was hesitant to go to counseling but he said if he ever needs to go back, Ramiz would be his choice. Flexible with availability, accepts insurance and no wait time. Great experience.
I’ve heard lots of the best about Dr. Lana Gaiton, but it’s disappointed to have such an unprofessional in the team as Rachel Herman. You put peoples lives in danger.You have to care about your reputation. And cause of her, I left and will never come back to you again. Shame
It was the worse experience of my life. My therapist was late. She seem uncomfortable with me crying. She did not have tissues in her office. It was an overall bad experience. I would not recommend these services to anyone.
Thanks a lot for the unbelievable help. Yury’s assistance with his hypnosis techniques was very powerful in helping me to stay healthy. Strongly recommend this center for anybody who is willing to change their lifestyle for good.
Very well tailored psychological services, very professional and will make you feel comfortable. They will have a therapist that just suits your needs. Highly recommended!
I appreciate the help. Theyre very helpful when my psychologist was transferring , the main office did all the work and assigned a new psychologist to me without l an hassle to me. Very workable office from my standpoint
Indeed, they are huge professionals. This group helped me a lot when I was in a deep depression because of my overwhelming life with Autistic child, crazy work and busy schedule of college. I highly recommend them to everyone.
Theresa is a wonderful therapist. Shes very attentive and remembers what youve shared from previous sessions.
They have really helped me get comfortable opening up and speaking about my issues. As I continue working with them I can see significance in my mental growth and continuing. Thank you for everything. Great Choice!
Everyone is very skilled at their profession here, from the receptionist right on up to Lana and everyone in between. I highly recommend them for your therapeutic needs.
Ramiz is an incredible mentor and I’ve achieved more in six months than I ever thought possible. We continue to work on things that I couldn’t even bring myself to think were possible.
A wonderful practice with very carrying staff. Very flexible and understanding to each family needs. I would recommend this place for children and adults, as they have different professionals to fit everyone’s needs.
Great Office, Our Therapist is phenomenal and has helped us a lot. The hours are convenient also.
I really like the services with Lana Gaiton. The psychologists have been very helpful and I am very satisfied with the services that they provide.
Lana is a very companionate person works with you beyond your problems. Shows you how to help yourself and understand and appreciate life.
Im very comfortable at all locations staff is professional and kind and thanks for the progress i have made its changing my life for the better!
Katya is amazing. She is so kind and is very good at helping me with my personal problems.
Nice, quick, answered all my questions and provided care for me. Helped lift me out of depression and anxiety, and reduced my dosage when I requested.

2022-05-01I can only speak from my personal experience, but I have been going to this office for a couple of years now. I have been working with Rose and have never felt more at ease and have a piece of mind. It can be a challenge to find the right therapist but working with Rose has been seamless, it’s rare to find peoplethat have a deep understanding and try to go beyond. The depth and knowledge she has to help her clients is real, honest and sincere. I hope everyone can find the “right” fit for them. I look forward continuing my mental health journey with this practice.

2022-01-21I worked with Ramiz for two years and could not recommend him or the practice more highly. We started working together right before the pandemic and the adaptation to virtual care was seamless. He also took the time and effort to get credentials in my home state so we could continue working together when I temporarily left New York. He listened to me and was extremely supportive, while also pushing me to dig deep and address any issues head on. The office was also really great at handling billing and I never had any issues with insurance. I am so appreciative to have had this support system over the last two years.

2022-03-18I started seeing Rose several years back and have been with her ever since. All I can say is that she is an amazing person and professional. She helped me get to where I am today and I am so grateful to her. Shes been my advocate ever since Ive started with her. Im in the mental health field myself and all I can say is that Rose had taught me more about mental health than any school program Ive been in. Ive learned so much about mental health from her. Thank you for everything Rose.

2022-04-30Possibly the worst place to go to if you need even the smallest amount of help. my therapist has: shown up late, ordered food during a session, talked about herself during a session, knew absolutely nothing about therapy to be honest. i didn’t want to leave because i genuinely felt bad because of how poor of a job she does, but instead of leaving, she actually told me to never come back because i asked to skip a session 2 weeks in a row (for valid reasons). if you need help please do not go here. it will literally make u worse. thank u so much

2022-02-27Ive been talking to Rose for the past 3 years and she has been helpful. But now today Sunday February 27, 2022 she just gave up on me out of no where. She has been judgemental these past few weeks, twisting my words around and she knows how sensitive I am. There were things I couldnt say because I didnt feel comfortable yet, I told her I will speak about it when Im ready. Looks like she wasnt patient enough, and I don’t know why I was being forcefully obligated to speak of things I just couldnt bring myself to say. And Rose just couldnt understand that. I am really disappointed in Rose, Im sure she treated her other clients better. I cant believe she gave up on me, its ok though. Therapists are supposed to help us even if things get really difficult, isnt what they signed up for? But Ive realized no one can help us but ourselves, because in reality NO ONE cares. Rose is a snake in disguise, she betrayed me and I will never forgive her for this. I want nothing to do with her ever. I highly regret seeking help from her and very disgusted.

2021-10-13Marina is a great therapist. She helped my daughter (and me ) tremendously. Marina is a great listener and gave us good recommendations. Special thanks to Marina who brought (well behaved and trained) puppy to therapy because my daughter loves animals. The sessions with puppy were fun and my daughter could hardly wait for the next appointment. I believe that therapy with puppy is an amazing tool to help a child or teenager become in touch with his/her feelings. I highly recommend Marina.

2021-10-13Walking into therapy is a chore for so many people. Since Marina got and trained Ozzy, having sessions with his company made me notice myself genuinely looking forward to therapy. Having a fluffy, cuddly, energetic pup there to lighten up the mood is an amazing addition to my personal therapy session. Also, for some reason, having a living thing you can physically show affection towards in a room with you when you need to be most vulnerable, genuinely helps express emotions and calms me down in a way I can’t describe.

2021-01-24Ive had the opportunity to work with Laura La Bega for several months and I cant stress how much her counseling was helpful. I went through other therapists before, but Laura was definitely the best professional Ive ever encountered. She is empathetic, caring, honest, and a great listener. I was struggling with depression and other underlying issues, and Laura was key to my mental health progress. She has a welcoming attitude that inspired my trust, allowed for reflexion and promoted healthy realizations. I remember coming to her with a book-full of problems, but Laura was eager to tackle each of them with such an open heart. I look forward to continue working with her in the future, and recommend her if youre looking to making positive behavioral changes. Very thanful for her excellence.

2019-10-23From day one my experience at Lana Gaiton Pscyhological Services has been exceptional. My therapist, Patricia, is always welcoming, empathetic and fully present. She stays on top of my progress which tells me that she cares and is invested in me. I’m really grateful to see how much I’ve grown over the past year with her support. She also provides tools and homework to reinforce the conversations we’ve had which makes an enormous difference. I highly recommend booking a session!
