“She is amazing and really listens and works woth me on how to help myself.”

“I was unsure about remote counseling, I never liked being on camera, but Dr. Subawickrama has made me feel so comfortable that I don’t even think of it anymore. She is very warm and has a way of gently opening me up so that I feel comfortable sharing with her. She is nonjudgmental and caring.”

“Dr. Subawickrama is very nice and professional, she is understanding and patient and she also gives great motivation to those who are seeking real help and that are battling aspects of themselves. She is highly recommended thank you so much Dr. Subawickrama.”

“Great therapist”

“She's a great listener and supports me.”

“Dr. Subawickrama is patient, kind, understanding and helps me feel comfortable to express myself.”

“Love her! I always feel better after our sessions.”

“This is my first time doing therapy and I was very nervous and scared to try it. Dr. Subawickrama helped put me at ease and is very easy to talk to making me feel less anxious. She’s a very good listener and very knowledgeable. The exercises she’s given have helped me in ways I never would have imagined as I always thought I could handle it myself. Her patience and letting me go at my own pace and understanding of I’m not comfortable with something really helps me open up. I’m extremely happy with the progress I’ve made all thanks to her. It’s a long tough journey and I couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to guide and walk through it with me.”

“Good”

“Dr. Subawickrama has surpassed all my expectations. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to do online/video therapy. I dislike being on camera. I signed up in desperation because I couldn’t find anyone locally. Dr. Subawickrama is very warm, kind, intuitive and easy to talk to. She is very attentive and replies to my journal entries even when I do them later at night, every time. That’s more than I’ve received when onsite, in office therapy that cost a lot more. I actually look forward to our sessions and through her gentle coaching, I feel I’m handling my challenges much easier.”

“She is wonderful”

“Been with Dr .Subawickrama almost a year now and she’s been truly the best! I’m noticing a big difference in my mental health and my overall well being.”

“Dr. Sugi knows how to refocus us to big picture concepts. It's refreshing because it avoids the small details that don't end up being important anyway.”

“She is very helpful.”

“Love Dr S!”
