Gentle Deprescribing & Safe Medication Tapering in Atlanta
Because feeling overmedicated should never be your normal.
If you have ever wondered “Do I really need to be on this?” you are not alone.
Many adults in Atlanta come to us feeling overmedicated, dismissed, or stuck on SSRIs, SNRIs, or benzodiazepines that no longer feel like the right fit.
At Grounded Psychiatry in Atlanta, we guide you through a safe, slow, and intentional taper that matches your biology, your pace, and your nervous system. We use a root cause and whole person approach, along with research-backed deprescribing guidelines including the work of Dr. Mark Horowitz, to support a taper that is thoughtful, gentle, and truly personalized.
No fear.
No confusion.
Just a supportive, personalized plan that honors your health and your goals.

Psychiatric deprescribing is the gradual, medically guided reduction or discontinuation of psychiatric medications.
At Grounded Psychiatry, we specialize in helping clients taper off medications they no longer want or need, safely, gently, and without pressure.
Our approach is rooted in functional psychiatry, using genetic & lab testing, nutrition, and nervous system support to help you feel better from the inside out.
Common medications we help taper include:
SSRIs (such as Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac)
Benzodiazepines (such as Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax)
Mood stabilizers and antipsychotics (as appropriate)
