“Very short wait/no wait at all. She was not only very professional, but personable! Definitely a great listener and can't wait to begin this journey to wellness with her! Highly recommended! I will be bringing my daughter to see her as well after the amazing experience I had! ”

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr Takha,
psychiatrist. She was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. She truly listened and took the time to conduct a thorough and thoughtful evaluation, asking many detailed questions that delved deeply into both my personal and family history. Her approach was kind, compassionate, and professional every step of the way.
By the end of the session, she provided a clear diagnosis, and it was evident that she had taken every detail into careful consideration. She is, without a doubt, the most efficient, friendly, and on-point psychiatrist I’ve ever worked with. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and highly competent mental health professional.”

Getting to know Siyami Takha
My name is Dr. Siyami Takha. I treat patients with a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia, substance use disorder, and borderline personality disorder. I have the privilege of working with a diverse population, providing culturally competent care and helping to eliminate stigmas associated with mental health.
I would be honored to help you navigate your mental health journey. Together, we will empower you with coping skills to lead a productive life. Life's changes-whether anticipated or unexpected-can be challenging, and sometimes we need new tools to manage these transitions. I assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions with this in mind.
I apply a holistic approach to problem-solving, looking at the whole person-not just their mental health needs. I consider physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health to determine the best course of treatment for each patient. My goal is to provide comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of well-being.
I focus on supportive and talk therapy and am passionate about equipping clients and families with tools to understand and manage behaviors, leading to more balanced and meaningful lives. My professional interests include medication management and psychotherapy. I enjoy assisting clients in becoming the best version of themselves and overcoming obstacles that may hinder their progress.
I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Massachusetts Global and a Master's in Nursing from Walden University, which have equipped me with advanced knowledge and skills to provide high-quality mental health care.

Dr. Takha is very dedicated to her job and cares for each and every patient she recieves. Within 30 minutes of our appointment, she was able to figure out what was needed to handle my mental health issues. I would strongly recommend her for anyone that is nervous about finding mental health care.

We loved meeting with the doctor
October 16, 2024Mary S.Verified patient
My review of my virtual appointments. The first initial appointment had to be rescheduled because I booked it online but the doctor was not available. The second appointment was on 30 minutes but I was not told until the time of my appointment that she had an emergency. So it was rushed. My third appointment again had to be rescheduled and the gentleman called me prior to my appointment but kept saying the wrong time of my original appointment and then booked me later in the day. No link was sent had to call and find out it was scheduled for a later time not the time he gave me earlier that day. Now I’m all about giving second chances and things happen.
This last appointment. I got connected to the doctor right away and she tells me she has an appointment….and that she really wants to see me and she books me for a later appointment. Never got the link. No one answers the phone. I will not be back. If you see her I would say go in person because it’s not organized for virtual.
