I’m Tracy Vadakumchery, LMHC, LPC, LPCC and I work with “Bad” Indians and Perfect Indian Girls™ just like you who want more autonomy in life but struggle with letting go of control.

As a culturally responsive and trauma-informed therapist, I believe that it’s often not about the problem; it’s what the problem represents. It’s OK if you want more autonomy over your life, and I’m here to support you along the way. Book your free intro call to get started.
