BIO

Kelly Burris, PhD is a behavioral scientist, author of nine books on human behavior, developer of Subconscious Restructuring® and  CEO at the Burris Institute. Even though Kelly specializes in anorexia and bulimia he has used the SR® process with exemplary results for MDD (depression), PTSD, weight loss, OCD, ADHD, smoking cessation, bipolar disorder, suicide prevention, substance abuse and relationships. The reason this is possible is SR® bypasses background information from the client and goes directly to the fix. Behavioral health and coaching are the only industries who do not have an infrastructure which indicates their effectiveness. The question is... "Do you hold your doctor, plumber or the mechanic who works on your car accountable?" If the answer to this is yes, then is it time to hold your counselor or coach accountable?Interest in behavior science and psychology came early for Kelly at age 16 with studying every major religion and the works of all major influences in psychology. Kelly joined forces with Barry Brenner M.D. Ph.D. in 1984 and developed the first iteration of what is now the SR® process.In 1990 Kelly introduced the SR® process into psychiatric care and in 1992 implemented the first study which solidified proof of its effectiveness in depressed patients. This established the SR® model as the only evidence-based program process in mental health and the only proven process for depression. SR® will hold up to scrutiny from the mental health and medical communities every time it was used.

In 2001 Kelly developed a Certification for the SR® process and now has Workbooks for three demographics including, Subconscious Restructuring® for Adults, Subconscious Restructuring® Ages 7-17 and Subconscious Restructuring® for Warriors. The contention of the program process Kelly developed has always been, "One cannot fix it if one does not know how it works and one does not know how it works if one cannot answer the question." (What determines human behavior?) If one cannot answer this question one are guessing how to help oneself or anyone else.

Kelly has written 9 books (with 10 and 11 in the works) on the SR® process with three of them exclusive to the CSRC. Kelly believes it is time for all in mental health to join the scientific community and begin the process of proving what they claim to produce.

The next step in the evolution of the SR® process is to prove Subconscious Restructuring® can change ones physiology especially in regard to the physiology of the brain. Dr. Helen Mayberg of Emory University has inadvertently proven it is the software (subconscious) that effects the hardware (brain) and not the other way around as is the claim of the pharmaceutical companies. This also relates to work in brain imaging done by Dr. Arthur Toga out of UCLA on neuroplasticity that confirms what Kelly has contended for the last 21 years. It is the software (subconscious) that will not only determine your life outcome but your physiological health as well.

May of 2009: In recognition of the 25 years Kelly has committed to the development and refinement of Subconscious Restructuring®, he was granted a doctoral degree from Heritage University.
