A PERSONALIZED APPROACH TO BETTER HEALTH

Dr. Rose George has a passion for helping patients who are struggling with emotional problems. She is committed to helping others on the path to happiness. At the age of 40 with 5 children, she went to medical school to gain the education needed to make a difference. She has been able to help many patients improve their emotional health.

Dr. Rose George graduated from the Medical College of Wisconsin in 2007 and did a residency in psychiatry at Maine Medical Center which she completed in 2011. She then did a fellowship at the University of Utah in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. She practiced in Utah in both private practice and as psychiatrist/medical director for 2 different residential facilities. Moving to Fort Collins to start a private practice in 2019 was prompted by a desire to be near her grandchildren. She loves the outdoors and the biking trails in this area were also a big attraction.

In starting Brighter Day Psychiatry, Dr. George, decided to incorporate Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to help those struggling with treatment resistant depression. TMS has grown in indications and is now FDA approved for OCD and anxious depression as well as smoking cessation. This treatment has been a tremendous satisfaction seeing individuals who feel hopeless after failing medication treatment feel happy again and gain their life back. Dr. George’s medication management style is conservative and she focuses on patients with depression, anxiety, OCD, and children with behavioral issues as well. She also does some adult therapy with individuals struggling with depression and anxiety.

Experience

My goal is to help you get feeling better utilizing my knowledge, training, and experience to teach you about your mental health and suggest treatments that research has shown to be effective.

Partnership

I believe the best doctor/patient relationships include developing a partnership between the physician and the patient/family. This includes a thorough discussion of symptoms, severity, timing, background, history, and prior treatments utilized. Also a discussion of the likely diagnosis and implications. The discussion of treatment options includes a discussion of the risks, benefits, side effects, alternatives and duration of treatment.

Commitment

This doctor/patient partnership includes an obligation or commitment to the treatment on the part of the patient and family including utilizing strategies that include good sleep hygiene, exercise, good nutrition, building skills for relationships and emotional regulation, participation in recommended therapy and regular office visits.

TMS

The Brighter Day TMS clinic provides Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or TMS. Brainsway TMS is an FDA approved therapy that treats patients with depression or OCD who previously failed to respond to medications. Because TMS is non-invasive it has very minor side effects if any.

We have treated over 175 patients with TMS and are in awe of the change in these individuals who start out with severe depression and find relief from so many of their symptoms.

Many of our patients describe this treatment as “life changing” and are thrilled to be free of the life restrictions that come with severe depression.

Medication

• Medications are often an important part of mental health treatment.

• It is important that they be utilized judiciously.

• A patient should be on the least amount of medication to help their condition while minimizing any negative side effects.

• The right medication used appropriately can make a huge difference in a patient’s emotional health.

• Side effects must be appropriately monitored and taken into consideration when deciding dosages and which medications to employ.

Therapy

The discussion of treatment options includes a discussion what type of therapy(ies) would be most appropriate and beneficial for the patient and a discussion of recommended provider options for therapy. Then a decision would be made together as to which option will be utilized. I feel strongly and research shows that therapy is an important and crucial part of the long term solution of many mental health issues. When used in conjunction with appropriate medication it is an essential part of most mental health treatment plans.

Double Board Certified

Dr. George completed her fellowship at The University of Utah and is double boarded in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Adult Psychiatry. She has served as Medical Director for two residential treatment centers and enjoys running her own private practice. She prides herself in the conservative use of medications and a collaborative, caring approach, seeking to provide each patient with the greatest level of well-being.

Not afraid of doing what was best for my child

“I have a 16 year old son which no doctor wanted to diagnose at his age. As a mother who has been bipolar, I recognized my son’s behavior and knew that he was plagued by the same symptoms I have dealt with in my life. I had taken my son to several doctors and had been told he was depressed, or he just needed more sleep, or many other reasons for his outrageous behavior. I finally found Dr. George who recognized my son’s symptoms and was willing to not only to diagnose him properly but give him the medication he needed so badly. My son’s behavior changed almost overnight. He is no longer ingaging in high risk behavior and is now able to hold down a regular job, do his school work and is not out partying every night and using marijuana. I thank Dr. George for giving my son the chance to have a normal life and not being afraid of doing what was best for my child!”
