Why we’re here
Why we’re here
Why we’re here
People today face a mental health crisis unlike any before, with soaring rates of depression, anxiety, and ADHD fueled by a digital landscape that traditional support systems weren't designed to address. Despite being more “connected” than ever, people are struggling to find balance in systems that prioritize distraction over genuine connection.
HG Institute was created to meet this moment. We offer certification programs, clinical continuing education, and specialized training modules that equip professionals with practical tools at the intersection of behavior change, mental health, and digital life.
As the mental health industry struggles to adapt to the impact of endless scrolling and constant digital noise, we're building a new generation of professionals who recognize that healthy digital habits and overall well-being are deeply connected. Because when we spend so much of our lives online, we can't afford to treat it like an afterthought.

Our Origin Story
HG Institute was founded by Dr. Alok Kanojia, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist best known as Dr. K. Since 2019, Dr. K has provided accessible psycho-educational content on mental health, gaming, and digital life to a global audience, with a community of nearly 3 million subscribers on YouTube. His mission has always been to make mental health more relatable, inclusive, and grounded in real-world experience.
HG Institute furthers this mission by bridging the gap between mental health, technology, and professional development. Our team brings together clinicians, educators, and coaches who are part of the digital generation themselves. Together, we’re building a new standard to train professionals to meet the complex needs of modern life—whether through therapy, coaching, or other forms of support.
Our partner, Healthy Gamer, focuses on content, community, and coaching. Over the past five years, their global coaching program has supported more than 20,000 clients in 160 countries. That work has shown us what truly creates change: Personalized, context-aware approaches rooted in mental health knowledge and digital awareness. Powered by HG's extensive data from supporting thousands, we turn those learnings into valuable educational resources that enhance professional practice.
