A therapist who already knows your family.
You should not have to spend the first twenty minutes explaining what "log kya kahenge" means, or why you cannot just move out. With Fenweh, that context is already in the room.
Therapy for NRIs is online therapy with an Indian therapist who already understands your family, so you can skip the cultural backstory. Fenweh works with Indians across timezones and holds the specific double life of the diaspora: cultural-translation fatigue, migration guilt, and the way going home can undo a year of progress.
There is a particular tiredness the diaspora knows well. You found a therapist where you live, they were kind and competent, and still every session began with translation. Why the guilt runs so deep. Why you cannot simply cut contact. What a joint family even is. By the time they understood the setup, the hour was gone.
That translation is not a small tax. It is the reason a lot of NRIs quietly give up on therapy and decide they are just "bad at it." You are not. You were doing two jobs in the room: being the client, and being the cultural interpreter.
The guilt of leaving and the trap of staying are the same weight, in a different address.
You might live in one place and belong in two.
"My Western therapist does not get my family."
Cultural-translation fatigue. Care that keeps needing an interpreter is care with a leak in it.
"I feel guilty for leaving, and trapped for staying."
Migration grief. Two selves, two continents, belonging nowhere completely.
"I go home for two weeks and a year of progress unpacks itself."
Regression in the family system. Boundaries that do not survive customs.
"I am successful abroad and falling apart quietly."
The model-immigrant mask. High-functioning on the outside, running on empty underneath.
What we help the diaspora with
- The two-country self. Holding both homes without feeling like a fraud in either.
- Family across distance. Guilt, obligation, and the phone calls that reset your nervous system.
- Going-home regression. Preparing for the trip, and repairing after it.
- The high-functioning mask. When everyone thinks you are thriving and you are exhausted.
- Relationships and marriage pressure. Dating across cultures, and the questions that follow you overseas.
