Lakshmie Napagoda, LCSW

With over 18 years of experience in providing therapy, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges and improve their mental well-being. I am experienced and trained in treating depression, anxiety, traumas, relationship issues, and grief. Currently, I offer online therapy sessions via a secure telehealth platform. As a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, I employ evidence-based techniques to help my clients process and overcome traumatic experiences. I am also trained and experienced in providing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment therapy (ACT), Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and have utilized a multitude of techniques during my 18 year career as a licensed clinical therapist. My approach is rooted in empathy, kindness, and compassion, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. Throughout my career, I have been committed to empowering adults to achieve emotional balance and resilience. Whether you're dealing with personal struggles or relationship difficulties, I am here to meet with your and explore best treatment options for you. You may be experiencing challenges in getting to a therapy office. Telehealth has allowed me to reach individuals who may face barriers to in-person therapy, ensuring that quality mental health care is accessible to everyone, regardless of many constraints. The ultimate goal of my approach is to equip my clients with tools and techniques that will help to regain control over their lives, heal from their traumas, build healthier relationships, and cultivate a sense of purpose and fulfillment in life. I am a native of Sri Lanka and I have been in USA since 1981. I return my calls promptly so send a message, either via an email or a phone call. I look forward to working with you. I offer the sliding scale option for persons with limited resources.
