After Benzodiazepines & Anti-depressants

My coaching work is focused on helping people with health and life challenges in areas where I have expertise, knowledge, and deep understanding gained from significant training and extensive personal experience. With that, one of my priority focus areas is to provide coaching, guidance, training, support - and hope - to people who are planning to decrease or are already working through taper and withdrawal from benzodiazepines, anti-depressants, and related psychiatric drugs. Additionally, I offer coaching to family and friends who are supporting their loved ones. If you’re interested in learning more, please schedule an initial consultation. We’ll start with an introductory conversation where you’ll do most of the talking while I listen. You’ll talk about your current situation, how you arrived here, and anything else that’s important for you to share – and give you a chance to see how you feel about working together. If you decide to move forward after the first call, we'll begin our coaching sessions. We’ll start by identifying your priorities for change and initially focus on developing a short-term plan to address crucial "triage" areas that need urgent attention in critical aspects of your life and health – with an understanding that psychiatric drug withdrawal can cause significant problems and side effects in a wide variety of interrelated health areas. Next, we’ll identify your priority areas - the most significant challenges that are resulting from withdrawal, for example, sleep and insomnia, brain and cognitive function, pain management, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, and stress management, as well as personal relationships, parenting, work, and related. Then, we’ll work together and determine how to best help you get through the withdrawal experience and create a “do able” plan that’s customized specifically to your needs. From there, I’ll continue to provide you with ongoing support, training, and guidance as you move forward to recover and heal after benzodiazepines, anti-depressants, and related psychiatric medications. That’s just a quick summary so please reach out with any questions. I’m always happy to connect so feel free to comment or say hi! *Please note: some people may need additional support for highly complex situations. If it’s beyond my scope of expertise, I support my clients by making referrals to other appropriate psychiatric RX withdrawal experts to meet their specific requirements whenever possible.
