Tracy Vadakumchery

Have you ever been told that you're the "Black sheep" of the community or your family, "Whitewashed", "Too South Asian", or "Not Brown enough"? Maybe you feel like you don't belong in your community, but you belong right here! As someone who was raised Indian and Catholic, I've also been called these things too. Sometimes it makes us feel isolated, and we withdraw from the world. It doesn't have to be that way!

My specialties include relationship, sex, and family therapy.

Gray D'Andrea

My clients tend to be motivated individuals who need some help understanding themselves and their patterns in order to make meaningful changes in their lives. I especially love working with the queer community, people struggling with eating disorders or disordered eating, as well as trauma survivors. I will make space for whatever you bring in, and we will heal from it together using skills, humor, and understanding.

I blend a variety of therapeutic techniques—EMDR, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy—with a touch of humor— to create a dynamic, personalized approach to healing.
