Getting to know Dr. Priyal Ranasinghe

My professional journey as a licensed clinical psychologist and the founder of Cedrus Counseling is built on a commitment to deeply personalized, effective care. My Approach to Care My therapeutic style is person-focused and highly collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and I bring my clinical expertise to help you navigate it. I integrate tools from various modalities, including CBT, ACT, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, to create a flexible treatment plan tailored precisely to your unique needs. My goal is always to empower you to become an active, informed participant in your healing. Where My Expertise Comes From My areas of specialization are the direct result of my professional and personal path: Trauma: My initial service in the U.S. Army provided foundational experience with acute psychological distress, PTSD, and moral injury. I’ve since deepened this expertise through work at VA hospitals and Domestic Violence Intervention Programs, focusing on complex trauma and post-traumatic growth. Neurodiversity: My own later-in-life ADHD diagnosis and years running a dedicated assessment practice allow me to offer a truly strengths-based approach to neurodivergent clients. I understand the struggles with self-advocacy and the link between neurodiversity and issues like addiction. Burnout: With a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and my own experience in the corporate world, I understand the unique pressures, identity crises, and exhaustion that accompany high-demand careers. Relationships: I also offer specialized couples therapy focused on issues like infidelity and betrayal trauma, as well as sex therapy, drawing on my academic expertise and my experience in therapy to foster authentic connection. I am committed to providing culturally-informed care, honoring your full identity and background from our first session. If you're ready to find stability, build resilience, and step into a more authentic life, I'm here to support you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I prioritize building an authentic connection from our first session, recognizing that real healing happens within a trusted, culturally-informed relationship. Our collaborative style ensures your unique journey is honored; I hope to empower you to be the expert of your own life while we apply our research-backed expertise to help you achieve genuine, lasting growth and a more fulfilling life. I bring over 12 years of clinical experience forged in diverse settings, from the U.S. Army and VA hospitals to specialized assessment sites, to private practice, which allows for a deep, practical understanding of complex issues.
