Free Herbal Clinic
If you’d like to see a clinical herbalist, but can’t afford the cost of the visit, please consider becoming a client in the Free Clinic. While we focus on mental health, all clients are welcome.
In the Free Clinic, you will meet with me, Kelly McCarthy, a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild with 9 years of clinical experience. We’ll meet via Zoom with a small group of other herbalists observing.
All of the observing herbalists are trained in privacy and confidentiality, and nothing will be discussed outside of a secure environment. You will get the full attention, smart brains, and open hearts of up to 10 herbalists at once.
What’s included when you sign up for the Free Clinic:

What’s included when you sign up for the Free Clinic:
- 90 minute herbal consultation with me, Kelly McCarthy
- Dedicated attention of up to 10 highly trained herbalists thinking through your case
- A list of herbal, diet, and simple lifestyle recommendations tailored to you
- One 60 minute follow-up visit
What’s not included:
- The cost of any herbs that you’d like to purchase. Herbs tend to range between $20 - $70 for one month’s worth, although if you're a Black Philadelphia, we can use the Philly Herb Hub to source some or all of your herbs!
Please note that this is not primary healthcare.
What happens when you sign up?
- You’ll be invited via email to create a free account with Better. This will give you access to client intake forms and the zoom link for our session.
- You’ll fill out two forms (health history / goals and liability waiver), and that form will be shared with the observing herbalists. I ask that you fill out your forms at least 4 days before our appointment so all the other herbalists have time to look them over.
- We’ll meet for 90 mins on zoom to go over your health concerns and goals, with the observing herbalists present. It will be your choice whether they have their videos on or off.
- You’ll receive herbal recommendations within 4 days of our visit. I’ll send an email with a link to the full protocol, which you can access via Better. Let me know if you’d like to buy any of the recommended herbs.
- I can formulate your herbs for you, and if you live in Philadelphia you can pick them up that week in West Philly (707 S. 50th St) or if you live further, I will ship them to you.
- You are welcome to schedule a free follow-up appointment about a month after you start taking your herbs, with some of the same herbalists present.
