Deprescribing and Tapering
Psychiatric Medications
Take Back Your Health. Take Back Your Power.
True healing isn't just about starting a medication — it's about knowing when (and how) to step away from one.
If you're feeling ready to explore life beyond long-term prescriptions, you're not alone. I'm here to guide you through the process of deprescribing and tapering with expertise, compassion, and a plan built around you.​​
What is Deprescribing?
Deprescribing is the thoughtful, individualized process of reducing or discontinuing psychiatric medications when they are no longer serving your highest health. It's a proactive step — not a reaction. It puts you back in control.
​
This is not about abandoning care or rejecting science. It's about moving toward a model of mental health that prioritizes your resilience, your root-cause healing, and your freedom over indefinite maintenance.
Why Consider Tapering?
​​
-
Many psychiatric medications (like SSRIs, benzodiazepines, and antipsychotics) were never designed for lifelong use.
-
Long-term use can carry risks: emotional blunting, cognitive decline, metabolic issues, and withdrawal challenges.
-
There are safer, holistic alternatives that deserve to be considered.
-
Healing your body, mind, and spirit often reduces — or even eliminates — the need for medication.
I believe your suffering isn't just a "symptom" to medicate away. It's often a call to deeper healing — physically, emotionally, spiritually.

How I Support You​
​
Together, we'll create a custom tapering and healing plan based on:
​
-
Your history (not just your diagnosis)
-
Your goals (short and long-term)
-
Your body’s feedback (slow, safe adjustments)
-
Integrative strategies to strengthen your nervous system, gut health, inflammation pathways, sleep, nutrition, and emotional resilience
-
​
Every step of the way, we work together. This isn't a "one-size-fits-all" approach. It’s your health, your timing, your life.
​

Important: Always Work With a Provider
Tapering psychiatric medications must be done carefully, with professional guidance. Abrupt or unsupported discontinuation can be dangerous.
