I've been in therapy my entire like. When it comes to finding a therapist I tell people that much as in any relationship, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. That said. . . I do not have the space here to say everything I would like to express about how amazing Piyumi is. She strikes the perfect balance between providing feedback and allowing you to self reflect. Piyumi has been a major part of my journey forward and I think she is a huge asset to the Betterhelp community of caregivers. I encourage you to start a dialog with her. You will not be disappointed.

I graduated from Columbia School of Social Work and have over ten years of experience working with individuals with trauma, substance use, employment concerns, depression, anxiety, psychotic, bipolar and borderline symptoms.
My approach with you is non-judgmental, empathic, strength-based, and collaborative. I foster a warm and safe environment in which you can share whatever is troubling you.
My unique approach focuses on utilizing Polyvagal Theory interlaced with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma informed treatment, Mindfulness techniques, Motivational Interviewing, and Crisis Management through a neurological lens. My overall person-centered approach has left my clients feeling supported and filled with hope. I believe that you are the expert of your life and I am there as a source of support.

About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
