Hello! My name is Gemy George and I'm a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience in outpatient mental health. I received My Doctorate in Psychiatric Nursing Practice from the University of Washington in 2014. I am a dedicated and compassionate psychiatric nurse practitioner with a passion for improving mental health and well-being. I have a deep understanding of the complex interplay between mental and physical health, and I am committed to providing comprehensive and holistic care to my patients. With a firm belief in the power of both modern medicine and integrative approaches I believe in providing non-judgmental, compassionate, and empathetic care.
I began my psychiatric nursing career with a strong commitment to helping people navigate mental health challenges. Through years of experience working both in inpatient and outpatient settings and continuous learning, I've developed the skills and knowledge necessary to deliver exceptional care.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 18 years of experience in general health and 7 years of mental health. I diagnose and treat mental disorders with a sense of comfort and trust. My practice combines the best of psychiatric services with focus on the best treatment plan for your general well-being.
I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. This means I am trained to treat both physical health and mental health. WIN-WIN! I started off as a combat medic in the Army and after my enlistment went back to school for nursing. I have been in the nursing field for nearly 20 years, a nurse practitioner for six years and working in addiction medicine and mental health, specifically, for over the last two years. This is my PASSION and I feel like I am saving people’s lives while also treating them with kindness and compassion.

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 Tacoma
Finding the right psychiatrist in Tacoma starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and monitor how that medication is working over time. If you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or another condition that may benefit from medication management, a psychiatrist may be the right fit. Psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) can also evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe medication, and are another option available through Headway.
With many providers practicing across Tacoma and the surrounding Pierce County area, narrowing your search can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific condition, offers virtual appointments, or is located near your neighborhood. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you book.
Psychiatry in Tacoma can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a psychiatrist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
