While technology has given us more connection and opportunities for expression than ever, we have not fully grasped its impact on our mental health. Millions of people are feeling lonely, isolated, and struggling with their mental health. We need a new approach that meets young people where we are: online.
We create resources that take into account the effects of modern stressors, such as social media, video games, and online dating. We also help people navigate the modern work environment, find fulfillment, and figure out parenting, always staying accessible to anyone grappling with the side effects of our modern society.

Our Story
Our Story
Our Story
In 2018, Dr. Alok Kanojia, a Harvard-trained addiction psychiatrist specializing in modern mental health, had an open afternoon and decided to post to r/IamA. The response was overwhelming - thousands not only posted their own questions but engaged in a meaningful discussion about mental health challenges.
The desire to talk about mental health and the commonalities among participants inspired Kanojia to find a way to keep the discussion alive. Enter: Twitch.
A community quickly formed, what started with a handful of people quickly grew to hundreds of thousands. Dr. Kanojia became known to those thousands as Dr. K, and his thrice-weekly Twitch streams evolved into a desire to take action.
He founded Healthy Gamer in 2020 as a way to provide resources to a generation that was struggling with mental health, and struggling to be understood by traditional resources.
After a successful coaching pilot, Healthy Gamer has continued to expand its offerings, striving to provide resources that meet our generation where we’re at. Because mental health is about more than mental illness.
