Learn MoreAbout Me
Paula George, PMHNP-BC, FNP-C, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with Anthurium Healthcare LLC provides outpatient psychiatric care in Union, New Jersey and via secure telehealth. She offers medication management and individual therapy drawing on CBT, person-centered, compassion-focused, motivational interviewing and culturally sensitive approaches. Her style is holistic, empathetic and non-judgmental, with an emphasis on thoughtful assessment and individualized plans that support real-life functioning.
Anxiety Treatment and Medication Management
A core feature of Paula’s practice is helping children, teens, adults and older adults manage anxiety, including persistent worry, panic-like symptoms and stress that impacts sleep and daily routines. As a dual-certified PMHNP-BC and FNP-C with training through Felician University, Rutgers University, and psychiatry post-certification work she brings an integrated mind-body perspective to care.
Sessions typically start with am evaluation and diagnostic formulation, then move into a tailored plan that may include therapy tools alongside medication management when appropriate. Using CBT and compassionate strategies, she helps clients build coping skills, identify patterns that keep anxiety going and create practical steps for symptom relief between visits.
Support for Co-Occurring Concerns
In addition to anxiety care, Paula supports clients with ADHD and depression and she also treats concerns such as bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma/PTSD, insomnia, eating disorders, substance use, grief, autism spectrum and developmental disorders and personality-related challenges. Care may include referrals and coordination to ensure clients have the right supports across settings.
