As a person who has seen multiple therapists and realized my need for a straightforward approach, I have been extremely pleased with the interactions I've had. I feel respected and heard in a way that is extremely rare. And I cant wait for the continuous work we will do together.

I had an anxiety attack right before our first session. I’ve never done this before or what to expect. It’s very embarrassing but she helped me feel at ease and better about opening up. It was a good and made me feel more positive about future sessions.

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 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.

Dr. Subawickrama is wonderful. She listened to me talk and really got me, gave great advice and is there when I need her. I’m learning a lot about myself because of her and that’s what was different than any other therapist that I had gone to. I was skeptical about this, but figured I could just quit or see a different person, but I look forward to it and enjoy it.
