Deprescribing Support
Our deprescribing service is designed to support you through this process with care, clarity, and expertise.
What Is Deprescribing?
Why You Might Consider Deprescribing

- A desire to minimize the number of medications being taken
- A sense that a prescription may no longer be needed
- Concerns about long-term dependence
- Interest in alternative, more natural treatment options
Our Process: Safe, Personalized, and Collaborative
Deprescribing is not about stopping medications quickly. It’s about understanding what’s right for you and moving forward with care. Here’s how we approach it:
Complete Evaluation
We begin with a thorough review of your medications, health history, current symptoms, and personal goals.
Collaborative Planning
Together, we decide which medications might be appropriate to reduce or discontinue. This is based on your clinical history, preferences, and how you’re feeling.
We stay connected with regular check-ins to ensure you’re progressing comfortably. Adjustments are made based on your feedback and response to changes.
Supportive Alternatives
When helpful, we recommend additional strategies such as nutritional support, psychotherapy, sleep and lifestyle improvements, and targeted supplements.
Answers to Your Most Asked Questions
Deprescribing is the process of safely reducing or stopping medications that may no longer be necessary, helpful, or well tolerated. It is a thoughtful, guided approach that supports your mental and physical health while minimizing risks.
