About me

For Brown girls who have been told they’re ‘bad”, “selfish”, “too Western” or “too Brown”: you’re not too much or not enough–you’re just done being exploited. You don’t have to tolerate disrespect in the name of “culture”!

Hi, I’m Tracy Vadakumchery and I work with Brown women who struggle with chronic guilt, shame, and self-abandonment with their identity and in their relationships! I’m an EMDR Certified™ licensed therapist in New York, New Jersey, and California who helps you stop letting cultural guilt and shame take over and embrace your desires—without the guilt-trip! I combine cultural responsiveness with therapy like EMDR and CBT so you don’t have to choose between your identity and effective therapy. You don’t have to worry about being too “Western” or too “Brown” with me.

If you’ve been questioning the things you’ve been told about being a “good” daughter or a “good” woman, but you’re afraid of being judged or shunned for your thoughts, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s be “bad” together!  Book your free consultation today!
