Dual-certified psychiatric and family nurse practitioner · Founder, Awesome Experience Psychiatric Services
Dr. Takha holds dual board certification in psychiatric-mental health nursing and family practice nursing, a combination that lets her assess mental and physical health together rather than as separate systems. She earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice from UMass Global in 2019 and has spent five years building a practice known for clinical precision paired with genuine warmth.
Trauma-informed care shapes how every patient is approached at Awesome Experience, including those who do not yet recognize their own history as traumatic. That care starts with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, which may lead to medication management, therapy, or both, depending on what fits your history and your goals.
In Her Words
Psychiatric care should be a partnership, not a transaction. A diagnosis is a starting point, not a destination. The goal of treatment is not simply the absence of illness but the presence of a life that is balanced, productive, and genuinely meaningful to you.
Dr. Siyami Takha, Founder
Whatever your results show, you do not have to carry this alone. A comprehensive evaluation with Dr. Takha is the first step toward a plan built around your history, not a checklist.
