“Dr. Mckenzie-Dajic was the first doctor I saw for help with medication and my mental health. I was nervous at first to have a male doctor, as I've always found myself more comfortable with female providers. But Dr. Mckenzie-Dajic made me feel very comfortable from our first session. He is very easy to talk to and he always creates a safe environment to share sometimes difficult personal information. I appreciate the help I've gotten from him and look forward to continue working with him.”

Getting to know George Mckenzie-Dajic
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Master’s in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Pace University, committed to delivering compassionate and thoughtful mental health care. I recognize the strength in each individual and apply my clinical knowledge to effectively support diverse populations.
I work with individuals navigating a range of mental health concerns—anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and concentration deficits. Many of the people I work with have complex lived experiences that shape how they view themselves and their mental health. You might feel emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or you might have tried therapy or medication before without feeling truly heard, supported, or understood. I also provide an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ clients and families.
I embrace a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel empowered to take charge of their mental well-being. Through personalized medication management and therapeutic support, I am committed to helping you build resilience and achieve lasting recovery.
What should a new client know about working with you?
New clients should know that I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where your experiences are respected and your goals guide our work together. I take time to understand your unique story, values, and challenges so we can create a treatment plan that feels both effective and aligned with who you are. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, or other concerns, you can expect a thoughtful, individualized approach rooted in empathy and evidence-based care.
I believe in open communication, shared decision-making, and building a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust. You're not just a diagnosis — you're a whole person, and I’m here to listen, support, and help you move toward greater stability, insight, and confidence in your mental health journey.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
You might be someone who’s unsure whether medication is right for you—or someone who has been on medications for a long time and is wondering if they’re still serving your needs. I see medication as one potential tool among many, and I work collaboratively with each client to make informed, personalized decisions.
Clients can expect a warm and supportive space where they feel heard and understood. My goal is to help clients build practical coping skills, strengthen their sense of self, and develop resilience in the face of challenges. With a proper therapy and medication management I will help clients in their health journeys.

George made me feel comfortable in my first two sessions enough to share things I haven’t spoken about. Clearly driven to help find and treat the underlining causes of what is afflicting me. Highly recommend.

I’ve been coming to the doctor for years but this review is going to focus on George. I had been seeing the previous Dr here so going to someone new isn’t always comfortable at first. But those feelings quickly vanished after my first telehealth visit with him. He asks a lot of questions to learn your back ground and really helps you out. On my 2nd visit with him, we reviewed results and are on a path to helping me. He has been great and I appreciate his thoroughness on medications, side effects, and everything I need to do and be aware of.

George is patient, empathetic, knowledgable and kind. I felt like he took the time to understand the full report of my symptoms and asked thoughtful questions. He was also promptly on time, had great lighting and audio and overall made the experience very smooth. Would recommend.

I am incredibly grateful to be under George's care. From the very first appointment, I felt genuinely heard, respected, and supported. George takes the time to truly understand concerns, explain treatment options clearly, and collaborate thoughtfully in decision-making. George's clinical expertise is evident, but what stands out most is his compassion and attentiveness. I always leave appointments feeling grounded, validated, and confident in my care plan. George has been absolutely phenomenal, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking thoughtful, high-quality psychiatric care.

George McKenzie has been a beacon of hope for our family. When my daughter first started seeing him, she was withdrawn and struggling. It was a difficult time, and we felt helpless. Dr. McKenzie approached her care with a gentle patience that immediately put us at ease. He took the time to truly listen, creating a safe space where she could express herself without judgment.
Over the months, we've witnessed a remarkable transformation. My daughter, once has blossomed into a confident and vibrant young woman. She's rediscovered her passions, forged meaningful connections, and embraced life with a newfound enthusiasm. It's as if a weight has been lifted, and she's finally free to be herself.
We owe so much to George . His expertise, combined with his genuine compassion, has made all the difference. He didn't just treat her symptoms; he helped her heal from the inside out.
