More about Georgette
- 36 years' experience
- Female
- Psychologist
I am a Licensed Psychologist in PA. I have worked in the mental health field since 1986 and have been in private practice since 1992. I have worked with many and varied individuals and families during these years. My early training was in Structural Family Therapy and I continue to seek to understand the role the family system plays, and has played, in each client's current life challenges.
I strive always to meet the client where they are in their current situation so that I can begin to understand their needs and goals in seeking treatment. As I learn more about a client and their situation, we can then determine together what treatment modality would best fit their needs and proceed from there. When clients are not quite sure how to express these needs and concerns, the first goal is then to determine what is causing the current distress and what can be done to resolve it. Again, meeting the client where they are in the moment and walking with them through the resolution of any underlying issues is the primary goal of all treatment.
Therapy can be very difficult at times and some sessions are more difficult than others. I can't guarantee that you will leave each session "feeling good" or even "feeling better" as there are often tough things to address. However, it is important to note that this is also a critical part of the therapy. Even in tougher therapeutic times, I will continue to provide support and encouragement to you.
So, welcome aboard Better Help! I hope I can make your life easier in some way.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is very willing to listen and respect boundaries.
She is very helpful and knowledgeable in the issues I need help with. Listens without judgement and gives me multiple ways to handle each one. I am very appreciative and excited to continue my journey with her
Great listener & has a lot of experience helping us with our problems and is kinda funny
Georgette is amazing to put it simply. She tells me exactly what I need to hear, sometimes not what I want, but what I NEED. I have healed more in the short time I’ve had with her than I have with any one else. She listens to listen, not to respond. She hears me out and address my concerns and gives me tips on what to do when I have anxiety. Truly couldn’t ask for a better therapist.
I’m so happy that Georgette is my therapist. She’s a perfect fit for me.
Caring, responsive, very helpful and knowledgeable about the areas I am looking for therapy regarding
Excellent speaker, relateable, and patient listener with an extraordinary amount of personal and professional experience.
I have recommended better help to a colleague. I know it wasn't easy for him, but he knew this wasn't easy for me either. I highly recommend this service
George helped me navigate through a particularly tumultuous time. I always felt comfortable being honest and was certain that whatever I divulged would be met with patience, guidance, and an open heart and mind. Her support helped me realize my self-worth and fostered an environment in which I gained confidence in my decisions and took ownership of my life.
She is very knowledgeable
I feel so comfortable being open and honest with Georgette!
Supremely talented communicator. Tactful in her speech, she knows how to be critical without making you feel attacked or judged. Everything you want in a counselor.
I enjoy my sessions with Georgette and glad she was assigned to me. She listens and is assisting me through some issues.
