Lotus Therapy Group

Fantastic experience: We've had a great experience, highly recommend Lotus Therapy Group.

Fantastic experience: Incredible! Kendra and Lisa are the best.

Fantastic experience: We have had such a positive experience with the therapy sessions with Lisa. My son has struggled for years with anxiety about food, scared and frustrated about eating, limiting himself, or not eating at all. Lisa worked with him (and me!) to make eating so much less stressful. She has helped us figure out how to remove the anxiety—or lower it enough—that trying new foods, or regular foods in new ways, is just a regular part of our daily lives. My son feels more in control of his diet, even making his own food at home, deciding on ingredients he can add. By teaching him some concepts through his therapy sessions, he is able to think about foods differently, and assess what he prefers or does not. We are able to carry over the tips and language at home to make eating an easier experience for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Alexis has been so helpful in my ARFID journey thus far! I appreciate her warm demeanor and knowledgeability when it comes to disordered eating and food in general.

Fantastic experience: Walking into Lotus the space feels cozy, calming, and so thoughtfully put together. You can tell how much care and intention went into creating a safe and supportive space for healing. Kendra is an incredibly compassionate and insightful therapist who truly listens and creates an environment where growth and self-reflection come naturally. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful place to start or continue their therapy journey!

Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful I found the Lotus Group. The staff here helped me so much and I’m forever grateful. I highly recommend this practice!

Fantastic experience: I have had an amazing experience with Lotus Therapy Group Naperville. Kendra DeFrank is absolutely wonderful. She is easy to talk to and has helped me so much! I highly recommend this practice to anyone that needs a little extra help!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Lotus Therapy Group. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported. The therapists are incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your healing journey. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, empowering space to grow and heal.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has worked with Ellen and Alexis now for 3 1/2 months and it has been an extremely positive experience- as positive as it possibly could be when you’re treating a mental illness. They are compassionate and client-focused, ensuring they don’t use a one size fits all approach. We appreciate this as my daughter continues on this journey of recovery.

Fantastic experience: Empathic, caring, transformational.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Lotus Therapy Group for several years and have seen a couple different therapists within the practice. I have always felt comfortable and safe within the office and reaching out to my therapists outside of appointments if needed. I have made great progress throughout my journey working with Lotus and look forward to continuing on that path for years to come.

Fantastic experience: My daughter loves seeing Sarah. We’ve seen such an Improvement in her moods and daily behaviors. The facility is clean and inviting and very private. And her sweet puppy Frank is the cutest & always dressed up for the day!

Negative experience: Very upset with this practice for discussing divorce with my 8 and 6 year old without me being present and without my consent. Previous to this meeting my children were unaware and completely blindsided during a traumatic discussion that neither I was part of, nor agreed to. And as a follow up to this post (responding to the comment below), the counseling session was held at the Lotus Therapy Group location in Naperville, but as I mentioned, I didn’t attend the session nor was I communicated for permission; therefore, I don’t know the name of the counselor who saw my children.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been working with Lisa for about two and a half years on her ARFID. The progress she has made has been amazing. Meals at home and going out have become much less stressful. I can see less anxiety in my daughter during mealtimes. She is willing to try more foods, and it’s no longer a struggle. Also, when we go to restaurants, there is now always something she will eat or is willing to try. We are very grateful for everything Lisa has done.

Fantastic experience: I worked with Kendra after college for ED & health anxiety - she helped me tremendously back then with the physical symptoms I was experiencing! Now, 6 years later, she's helping me to heal the core-root emotional ties (using EMDR) & I couldn't be more grateful for her <3

Fantastic experience: I’ve had great experiences working with both Emily Presbrey and Alyssa Melvin at Lotus on ED and other issues related to overall health and wellness. I was surprised and excited to find a practice like Lotus that specializes in this area.

Fantastic experience: alexis is the best. only dietitian i've ever liked she's the best. She's literally my best friend love her highly recommended 10/10

Fantastic experience: I work with Emily and she is very compassionate with her work. I feel understood and like I'm able to get the help that i need for my eating disorder

Fantastic experience: I've seen Kendra DeFrank at various points over the years and she is truly amazing; I would never hesitate to reach out to her if I need a little extra help. She's incredibly relaxed, very easy to talk to and puts you at ease. I feel so lucky to have found such an amazing therapist!

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Alexis Banks for about a year and a half. I can't put to words how much of an impact she has made on me and my recovery. She has helped me get through some of the toughest times in my life. She is so understanding, compassionate, smart and overall amazing at what she does. I would not be where I am today without the help of Alexis.

Fantastic experience: I recently discovered that I have ARFID (even though I've been struggling with it my whole life). I'm so glad I was able to find Emily at Lotus Therapy Group! She's helped me leaps and bounds, even in the matter of months. She's so understanding and easy to get along with. It can be hard enough to find any dieticians that are knowledgeable about ARFID, so I'm thankful that the first one I've worked with has been great!

Fantastic experience: I just had my second session with Emily and my only regret is not working with her sooner.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Alexis Banks as my dietitian for a while now. She has been my number one supporter even when I don't believe in myself. I love our relationship and I am so grateful to have someone that I can trust and confide in. I have had a lot of dietitians but Alexis is no doubt the best of them all! <3

Fantastic experience: I struggle with ARFID. In the past 4 years I haven’t found anyone who has been able to help me with it, or even with much knowledge of it, until I met Lauren and Lisa from Lotus. They go above and beyond to help not just that issue, but so many more I have connected to it, and even apart from it. Have been seeing them since the summer, and have had a lot of progress, they are so kind and will help you get to a healthier place. I still struggle so much with my eating and many other things, it’s been a long time coming, but I am so glad to know I have found Lauren and Lisa that have helped me start and continue my recovery and healing journey with food and myself. Would 100% recommend to others I know dealing with similar issues to mine!

Fantastic experience: alexis banks is truly the most amazing person that i have ever had the privilege of working with. i cant even put into words just how much she means to me and the impact that she made on my recovery. i couldn't have done any of this without her. i trust alexis with all my heart and 'grateful' doesn't even begin to describe how i feel. i am beyond proud to call myself her client <3 thank you for everything

Fantastic experience: I never thought recovery could be possible. With my first outpaitnent team I was so hopeless. But after meeting with Alexis I’ve been able to get and gain not only my life back but rebuild myself. I want to say thank you so much for allowing me to get to work with you!!

Fantastic experience: Lotus Therapy has truly been amazing for my recovery. I am currently working with both Alyssa and Alexis and love them both. I began working with Alexis when I was at a Residential treatment center, and I have had the pleasure to continue working with her. She is so knowledgeable about food and nutrition, and has taught me so much about the importance of listening to my body. She is an amazing anti-diet dietitian, and has helped me so much with mindful eating and beginning to learn the principles of intuitive eating. However, what really sets Alexis apart is how much she cares about the person and not just the food. I have worked with dieticians in the past who only care about the food, but Alexis truly cares about your thoughts and feelings about food and your body. I can honestly say that Alexis has truly made a huge impact on my recovery. Alyssa has been AMAZING to begin working with. It feels like she truly understands what you are saying and cares. I love how much I get out of each and every session. I always leave knowing coping skills that I can use so I can continue to move forward in my recovery. Alyssa has especially helped me work on my body image while helping me reframe thoughts and practice new coping skills. You can truly see how much Alyssa enjoys helping people and really just makes you feel accepted. Overall I would highly recommend the Lotus Therapy Group for Eating Disorder treatment.

Fantastic experience: From the very beginning, it was evident that Alexis has a deep understanding and the nutritional needs that accompanies eating disorders. Her expertise and knowledge are evident, but what truly sets her apart is her genuine compassion and unwavering commitment to helping our daughter. Perhaps the most significant testament to Alexis’ impact is the transformation we witnessed in our daughter. Through her guidance and unwavering support, our daughter found the strength to confront her fears, challenge her distorted beliefs, and develop a healthier relationship with food and her body. Alexis instilled in her a sense of self-worth, resilience, and hope for a brighter future. To anyone seeking help for themselves or a loved one struggling with an eating disorder, I wholeheartedly recommend Alexis as your provider. She is a beacon of light in the darkness, and we are eternally grateful for the profound impact she has had on our lives

Fantastic experience: alexis has continued to help me throughout my recovery, and has really been helping me through so much in the last year. i was with her at residential, and i got the pleasure to work with her again, i would recommend her to any client.

Fantastic experience: I never thought I was capable of making progress in my ED until I started working with Kendra and Lisa. I've had many therapists over the years, and it wasn't until I started with Kendra that I learned how life-changing therapy can be. Kendra is compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable. She makes me feel unconditionally accepted, offers new perspectives, and is so warm, empathetic, and genuine in every session. "Grateful" does not even begin to describe my appreciation for her endless support. Lisa is collaborative, a great listener, and so easy to talk to. Her extensive dietetic experience combined with her patience and care make her office a place where I know I will feel heard and never judged. She is a wonderful problem-solver, and she never gives up on me. Thank you, Lotus!

Fantastic experience: My relationship with food and exercise has fully evolved since I started going to Lotus Therapy Group. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for help with disordered eating. :)

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed working with Lisa and Lauren over the past few months. I would definitely recommend Lotus Therapy Group to anyone struggling with disordered eating!

Fantastic experience: You want to hear truth yet sometimes it’s hard to hear. I am that patient who didn’t want to hear the truth. I pushed back for months—until it happened —i hit rock bottom. Emily is hands down the most patient, understanding, and let’s me hear the truth! i’ve been accepting of the truth—i have an eating disorder and im now on the right path —by listening to Emily! Emily is absolutely the best!

Fantastic experience: To find help when you don't know where to look is a gift beyond measure. I was fortunate enough to find Lisa! Lotus Therapy Group is a gem. This is where you come to find hope and a true path to recovery from disordered eating. It is also a place where you can find help with a wide range of mental illnesses. I have battled an eating disorder for twenty plus years. The knowledge, support, and expertise at Lotus Therapy Group has been key in my search for peace and success in my life. I would recommend this office to anyone who will listen!

Fantastic experience: Lisa was the first person I met with when I decided to get help. She has helped me get control of my life back from Ed and has made me understand how amazing life can be without Ed. I have never felt more comfortable opening up and I honestly trust her more than anyone. She is so caring, sweet, and pushes me to challenge myself each session. I truly don’t think I would be where I am today if it weren’t for Lisa. You can tell how much she cares about each of her patients and I would recommend her to anyone struggling with an eating disorder or ARFID. I promise she really is the best. (:

Fantastic experience: I've been a client of Kendra DeFrank's for over four years. She helped me overcome my struggles with an eating disorder early on in college, and has since been a continuing resource for the curveballs that life throws my way. I've seen her in-person and remotely, and the services do not differ in terms of quality. I can't thank Kendra and Lotus Therapy Group enough for how they helped me turn my life around and find renewed health and happiness.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Kendra for almost 8 years now. Previously saw Lisa as well for a few years in regards to diet issues related to my eating disorder. Both are extraordinary kind, compassionate, and professional women. Their offices are beautiful, welcoming, and just walking distance from downtown Naperville. I would recommend them to anyone.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for an excellent EMDR therapist, you have found the right place! Kendra is wonderful and EMDR was more effective than an other type of therapy I have tried. I would highly recommend Lotus Therapy Group to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Kendra and Lisa have been such a fantastic team for my daughters recovery. They are extremely accommodating and its obvious how much they truely care about the success of their patients. Their office space is comfortable and inviting and we have had many family sessions where the miracles of therapy have happened. Thank you for continuing to guide my daughter through these trying times-cannot wait to see what is ahead!

Fantastic experience: I started going to sessions with Lisa and Kendra when I was a senior in high school struggling with various eating disorders. They were the third or fourth team I met with after previously having no luck trying to find people I felt comfortable talking to and who were knowledgeable and experienced. I can truly say that the only reason I was able to go to college is because of their help, and I continued doing remote sessions while I was away from home. They have always been kind, compassionate, and very flexible and I don’t know where I would be without them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
