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 .
