When Your Mental Health Is on the Line, Experience Matters
30 years, 78,000 clinical hours, and zero guesswork
Many psychiatrists just throw pills at symptoms. Or they are still learning and use a "try-and-see" approach.
That's why many people try several meds before something works and believe that side effects are just part of the deal.
Dr. George Kelly takes a different approach. He created the “78,000-Hour Method™” — a seasoned clinical process that combines expert pattern recognition, advanced symptom interpretation, and medication optimization to help patients feel better faster — with fewer side effects and avoid the trial-and-error.
After treatment, people say they feel relieved, hopeful, seen, in control again.
