“Thilini has been the best therapist I have worked with (and I've been with four so far). She is wonderfully gifted at active listening, helps me share what I need to, focuses it, empathizes/relates and helps make goals moving forward. She also helps me realize what is fair to expect from myself and what is not, which is great for me.”

“Her sessions are very conversation heavy in terms of introspectively asking how I feel. She's a great listener and it feels empathetic and understanding. Granted I don't have any specific "labeled" struggles or diagnosis to go through, but many sessions feel self-guided. I've tried a few therapists so far and I want to stick with her because at least I feel comfortable and heard!”

Getting to know Thilini Abeygunaratne
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Artist based in Southern California.

What should a new client know about working with you?
I will provide support in recognizing and replacing unhealthy patterns of relating and beliefs with more realistic and effective thoughts, thus decreasing emotional distress and self-defeating behaviors.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
