A note from Dr. Josef

Hi there,

Before you book your admissions assessment, there's something I'd like you to know.

My team and I are a small group of clinicians who specialize in safely tapering patients off psychiatric medication. Most of us have been through this process ourselves.

That's why our approach looks different than what most doctors are trained to do. We work one-on-one with each patient using custom-compounded dosing, weekly clinical check-ins, and integrated support across nutrition, sleep, and mental health.

Our team is also frequently consulted by government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other physicians on psychiatric medication tapering.

If you'd like to work with our team directly, would you be open to a program that operates outside of insurance-based care?

For context, our program starts at $2,200 per month, plus an initial enrollment fee.

If yes, we'll prepare for the call so we can discuss whether the program is the right fit for you.

Sincerely,

Dr. Josef

Our job is to listen carefully, explain what's actually happening, and then build a plan that respects the nervous system you're working with. Our clinical team, many of whom have personally come off psychiatric medication themselves, has helped over 400 patients do this safely."
