I find my experience with Dr. Subawickrama's to be very positive. I've been in in-person therapy for years and haven't done as much work/ self reflection as I have with Dr. Subawickrama in less than a month. I would recommend her to anyone who's ready for therapy and are willing to work on the assignments she gives .

Dr. Sugi is sweet and provided me very valuable information and insight. She is a great listener as well and is very professional. I feel like she understands my needs and what I'm trying to convey

Dr. Subawickrama is an excellent listener and really tries to identify and get to the heart of the matter. She also gives me helpful and pertinent written exercises, which I appreciate. She's very proactive, kind, accommodating, and she responds very quickly to messages. I recommend her very highly!

Dr. Sugi is really smart and utilizes a lot of strategies to get through problems you are experiencing. She is quick and direct to get to her point but is never stuck in her own answer. She can change course pretty quickly and is a great listener.
