Jakuta Ptah

My communication style

I'm calm, direct, and non-judgmental. I listen closely, reflect on what I notice, and sometimes point out the things you might be avoiding. Therapy with me feels like an honest, supportive conversation. I want you to feel safe being yourself, but I'll also encourage you to push into the growth you're looking for.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've always been drawn to understanding people and how we heal. My curiosity about people and belief in their ability to grow has only deepened with every client I've worked with. What keeps me going is watching people step into more authentic versions of themselves.

My goals for you

Our goals aren't just boxes to check. They're real shifts you want in your life, and they'll look different for each person. Together, we'll figure out what matters most, set steps that feel realistic, and keep adjusting as you grow. I'll celebrate progress with you, and I'll be there when things feel messy.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know you. We'll talk about what's going on in your life, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to get out of it. I'll also answer any questions you might have about the process. You don't have to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say.
