Dr. Rachael Janet Murphy

I taper medications. This means most of my patients want to safely reduce or ultimately stop taking psychiatric medications, and I guide them through that process safely and at their own pace. We address root causes that may have been missed. Whether you're questioning long-term use, experiencing withdrawal, or simply exploring what's possible, I offer a therapeutic environment where your concerns are validated.

Together we will develop strategies to restore your natural balance, helping both your mind and body stabilize.

You deserve care that truly listens. I'm here when you're ready to have a conversation about what's possible for your healing journey.
