Can you counter Spell like abil's?

Actually, spell-like abilities cannot be counterspelled nor can they be used to counterspell. Check out the MM and PHB, both state this explicitly. Since I'm at work, I can't provide page numbers yet but if no one else has done so, I'll post 'em later.

MM - section on spell-like abilties starts on page 7, and then over on page 8 you find...

"A spell-like ability can be disrupted just as a spell can be. Spell-like abilities cannot be used to counterspell, nor can they be counterspelled."

just trying to save gfunk from some effort after work...

Spell-like abilities are subject to spell resistance and to being dispelled by dispel magic. They do not function in areas where magic is suppressed or negated (such as an antimagic field). Spell-like abilities cannot be used to counter spell, nor can they be counterspelled.
