Anna German
primary health care nurse practitioner and certified nurse psychotherapist
Welcome! I am Anna German, an experienced Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Psychotherapist with a passion for providing comprehensive and compassionate care. With a robust background in various healthcare settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice.
I began my journey in healthcare by earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from York University in 2007. Driven by a commitment to excellence and continuous learning, I went on to complete my Master of Science in Nursing, further enhancing my skills and knowledge. In 2015, I obtained my Nurse Practitioner's degree from Ryerson University, solidifying my foundation in advanced clinical practice.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in diverse clinical settings, including acute care environments including NICU, in clinic settings, community settings, and long-term care environments. These experiences have given me a well-rounded perspective on patient care and the unique challenges individuals face in different stages of life.
For the past 10 years, I have been dedicated to shaping the next generation of nurses by teaching at a post-secondary institution. This role has allowed me to share my knowledge, mentor aspiring nurses, and contribute to the future of the nursing profession.
Now, as a Certified Nurse Psychotherapist, I offer counseling sessions to individuals and couples who may be experiencing challenging life situations, conflict, or need support managing mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use, borderline personality disorder, ADHD/ADD, and OCD.
My approach is rooted in the nursing model, which emphasizes a holistic perspective. I consider the whole person, taking into account lifestyle, background, family dynamics, and other variables that can influence mental health.
In my practice, I strive to create a nurturing, non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe and understood. I am here to help you navigate feelings of being "stuck," lost, hopeless, or discouraged. We all experience these emotions at some point in our lives, and sometimes it feels like there's no one to talk to. My goal is to support you with compassion and care, helping you find a path forward.
One of benefits of seeing a Certified Nurse Psychotherapist and a Nurse Practitioner is that they can prescribe and monitor medications for mental health as well as provide psychotherapy sessions with one health care practitioner.
I am dedicated to offering personalized care tailored to your unique needs. Together, we can work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
