Written on Oct 21, 2024 after therapy with Sugandika for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, coping with life changes, and adhd

Dr. Subawickrama always listened to me, talked to me fairly as a person with ADHD, gave me good and useful advice, showed up on time, motivated me to do important things, and understood my complicated lifestyle as an immigrant from Asia. I am fortunate to have her as my counselor.

Dr Subawickrama gives me the confidence I lack in myself. She helps me to understand why I feel the way I do and shows me ways to better deal with my feelings. It’s like having a good friend that you can confide in and know that they really want to help you be happy again.

Dr. is patient, kind and a great listener. She distills a problem to its essence in a way that can be very helpful.
