Dr Subi is AMAZING! SO grateful I found her & feel heard, respected & like I can actually get through my struggles, that I'm not alone!

Dr. Sugi is amazing. She is kind and compassionate and helped me during a hard time in my life. She held me accountable, helped me set up action plans, and was my cheerleader along the way. She is awesome and I highly recommend her!

Dr. Subawickrama is very professional and intuitive, able to filter through my feelings to help me hone in the root causes and offers many helps to work through these issues. She listens, remembers who I am and what we have discussed from session to session and then uses time effectively to work toward stability and growth in my life. I absolutely love her and she always responds when I email her.

She understands the situation I am. She is passionate about helping not repeat behaviors/decisions that are not in my best interest. I have some business to take care of and then will be back to therapy with her
