These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Sugandika Subawickrama. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
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.
