Dr. George is a board-certified psychiatrist committed to providing high quality, evidence-based treatment to adults.

She has worked in a variety of mental health settings including psychiatric ERs, crisis walk-in centers, outpatient clinics, inpatient units, and as an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at PennState College of Medicine where she taught psychiatry residents and medical students. She has over 10 years of clinical experience and has been in private practice for the past 5 years.
