About me

Juvenal George, Psy.D. Founder and Owner / Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Illinois

Hello.

My name is Dr. Juvenal George. I am a bicultural and bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Champaign, Illinois.

I am the founder and owner of George Psychology, PLLC, which opened in November 2021 to help improve the mental health and wellness of the underrepresented and marginalized communities of Central Illinois. I have 15-years of professional and personal experience working with individuals of culturally diverse populations and varying clinical presentations.

I specialize in the prevention, management, and treatment of anxiety, depression, stress and trauma, cultural identity and acculturation issues, college distress, career stressors, and life transitions/adjustments. In addition to my private practice, I am also a staff psychologist at the University of Illinois Counseling Center where I work with a diverse student population of undergraduate and graduate students struggling with academic, social, and numerous other life stressors.

I consider myself a socially responsible practitioner who incorporates culturally affirming perspectives into my practice with clients and in my clinical supervision with supervisees. I have been trained in the use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care practices, client-centered and mindfulness-based approaches. I am bilingual and offer individual therapy and consultation services in English and Spanish.

On my free time, I find restoration in nature and enjoy going on long hikes with my family. I am a loyal follower of the game of soccer, both as a player and a coach. I enjoy taking care of my vegetable and bonsai gardens in the presence of my two young daughters.
