Q&A with Dr. Jhutty
How would you describe yourself as a psychologist?
I like to spend time getting to know my clients. I want to know what their everyday life looks like and how they see themselves in the future. My goal is to help them meet that future person. I am action oriented and like to focus on solutions to get people moving toward their goals.
Where do you think the fertility industry has the most room to grow?
I think we need more specialized care for the under-served such as same sex couples and individuals and women over 40.
What do you do outside of work?
I love doing nothing with my husband, son, and dog and hanging out with my nieces and nephews. I am also addicted to word puzzles, listening to self-help podcasts, and telling popsicle stick jokes.
Why are you working with Cofertility?
The minute I met the team, I knew I wanted to be a part of Cofertility. It wasn't about anything but giving women options and making them feel empowered to take control of their own fertility health. I loved that there was so much action behind the words. I respect that Covertility educates women about their bodies and I love the transparency behind their work.
