It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear - Thoreau
I strive to help clients by being curious, kind, reliable, and insightful. This is how I believe therapy helps people to grow, and to ultimately feel better about themselves and their lives.
I primarily work through a psychodynamic lens, focusing on a client's emotional life, exploring connections between a client's past and present, and addressing internal conflicts. I also use ideas found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy such as exploring thought patterns and negative core beliefs.

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.
