Meet Dr. Jukaku
PSYCHIATRY, THERAPY
Sarah Jukaku, MD, MSc
Welcome! As a board-certified psychiatrist, I offer comprehensive, compassionate mental healthcare for a diverse community of patients. After graduating with a BA in Sociology and Near Eastern Studies from the University of Michigan, I completed a masters degree at Oxford University in the UK. I earned my medical degree from Columbia University and stayed in New York for internship training at Weill Cornell NY Presbyterian Hospital. I completed my psychiatric residency training at Michigan Medicine and later served as co-chief of psychiatry at University Health Services before founding Mind Work Psychiatry.
The Mind Work Process
Our work together begins with an in-depth evaluation and thorough assessment of you as a whole, aiming to understand how you interact with the world around you and how you face the challenges in your life today in the context of your history.
Emerging from the evaluation, we will develop a shared understanding of any relevant diagnoses and work in partnership to create a highly personalized, evidence-based treatment plan with diverse modalities of intervention to build and support your mental health.
As a client-centered provider, I want you to feel confident in your care. That means making sure your questions are answered completely and validating any concerns that you have about your diagnoses and plan, shifting gears along the way if you are unhappy with how things are going.
I want you to know that I will walk by your side until you feel like the best version of yourself. In my experience, confidence in the partnership you have with your provider can nurture hope and eventually accelerate healing.
