Life can look “fine” on the outside while still feeling overwhelming internally. Hi! I'm Mary and I am a Doctorally prepared nurse practitioner, mom and first responder wife. I have over nine years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most vulnerable moments and as a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Family Nurse Practitioner, I take a thoughtful, whole-person approach to care.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood symptoms, and cognitive changes, often during periods of high stress or hormonal transition. My approach looks at the full picture including mental health, sleep, metabolism, and overall well-being to develop personalized treatment plans. I combine medication management with practical strategies to help you feel more balanced, focused, and in control.
I am a board-certified, Harvard-trained psychiatrist providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management and therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I treat a wide variety of mental illness, and I specialize in helping individuals with ADHD, depression, anxiety, autism and those who are gender-diverse or other LGBTQ+ individuals.
You deserve a prescriber who listens before prescribing. I'm George Njoroge, a board certified psychiatric provider helping people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and insomnia with practical, personalized medication management. I believe mental health treatment works best when it's collaborative, not one size fits all. My background spans community mental health and private practice, giving me experience with people from many walks of life, including young adults, working professionals, parents, and older adults navigating life transitions. I take time to understand your full picture, your history, your goals, and your daily life, before recommending a treatment plan. Patients often tell me they feel genuinely heard, not rushed through a checklist. I stay current on the latest psychiatric research so you get evidence based care that actually fits your life. Whether you're starting treatment for the first time or looking for a new provider after a frustrating experience elsewhere, I'm here to help you feel like yourself again, with warmth, respect, and zero judgment.
I know reaching out for mental health care can feel like a big step, and I'm glad you're here. My goal is to provide a welcoming, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself. We'll work together to understand your needs, explore treatment options, and create a plan that supports your goals and helps you feel your best.
With over 15 years of nursing experience, my passion for psychiatry began early in my nursing career as I witnessed patients transform their lives through healing, self-discovery, and resilience. It is profoundly humbling meeting someone at their lowest point and having the privilege of walking alongside them as they do the work to become their best selves.
I work with adults ages 18 to 60 from all walks of life, with a special focus on individuals who are often overlooked, misunderstood, or silently struggling. Many of the people I work with appear “put together” on the outside—successful, dependable, and strong—while internally feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or barely holding it together.
I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, to immigrant parents from Haiti, and my cultural background plays an important role in who I am as a provider. Being deeply connected to both Haitian and American cultures has given me a broad perspective and a deep appreciation for cultural identity, family systems, and the shared human experience. At the core, struggle looks very similar across cultures—and everyone deserves care that is respectful, culturally responsive, and compassionate.
I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner based in Massachusetts, and I've built my practice with a focus on making mental health care accessible. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I bring a straightforward, caring approach to every session. I believe in taking things one step at a time, so you always feel comfortable with the process, and I stay open to whatever approach works best for you. I also work at a crisis center, which keeps me grounded in the realities of what people face when they need support most.
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, my goal is to treat the illness and not the symptoms. I specialize in working with adults experiencing depression and anxiety, and I focus on care that does not rely on medications that can be addicting or create dependence. For the past decade, I have helped clients feel more informed, more supported, and more hopeful about what healing can look like. I want our work together to feel thoughtful, personal, and grounded in what matters most to you, not just a list of symptoms or a quick fix. I work to understand the whole picture of your life so care feels meaningful, steady, and deeply your own.

I have been in healthcare for over 20 years and enjoy partnering with patients . As a gay man, I understand the comfort that comes with working with someone from the community.
Taking the first step toward better mental health can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. As an ANCC board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I strive to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, sharing your story, and knowing that you’ll be met with understanding, not judgment. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or other challenges, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to take charge of your mental health.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Massachusetts
Searching for psychiatrists in Massachusetts starts with knowing which type of care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through different approaches. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, either talk therapy, medication management, or both may be part of your search. Across urban and rural parts of Massachusetts, available psychiatrists and areas of focus can vary, so look for a bio that clearly lists experience with your concerns.
Practical fit matters, too. Whether you are looking near Boston, Worcester, Springfield, or another part of Massachusetts, consider appointment format, scheduling, and whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients. Medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Virtual appointments can add flexibility, while in-person visits may be easier to fit near home, work, or school. Reading psychiatrist profiles can help you compare communication style, specialties, appointment structure, and consultation options before you book.
Psychiatric care in Massachusetts can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm whether a provider accepts your plan. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. From there, you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
