Virtual clinic guiding evidence-based antidepressant tapering
Outro Health is the first virtual clinic dedicated to helping people safely taper psychiatric medications, starting with antidepressants. For many of our patients, we are the first to offer a real, safe path to a med-free life.
Our model is grounded in the neurobiology of antidepressant discontinuation and hyperbolic tapering, co-developed by our co-founder Dr. Mark Horowitz, one of the world's leading researchers in psychiatric deprescribing. We use gradual, individualized tapering strategies that reflect how these medications actually interact with the brain—minimizing withdrawal and supporting transitions that last.
We were founded by clinicians, researchers, and people with lived experience of long-term psychiatric medication use. We're building a new standard for responsible psychiatric care, and we're looking for clinicians who believe that standard is long overdue.
You'll join the first generation of trained deprescribing clinicians in the US, working within a small team led by field leaders and expert deprescribers.
Your goal is to deliver individualized tapering care to patients who have often spent decades without a real path off their medications, and no one to safely guide them. This is not a high-volume prescribing role—it's a thoughtful, relationship-driven practice built around gradual, patient-centered tapering.
This is a 1099 role. Longer term, PMHNPs that grow their panel with Outro will have a path to full-time opportunities.
Conduct psychiatric evaluations and develop individualized tapering plans grounded in hyperbolic tapering methodology
Manage ongoing patient care, including medication adjustments, symptom monitoring, and withdrawal support

Virtual clinic guiding evidence-based antidepressant tapering
Outro Health runs a virtual clinic that guides people through tapering antidepressants under clinician supervision using deprescribing methods. It employs hyperbolic tapering to align dose reductions with brain biology and minimize withdrawal symptoms. Patients start with a 45-minute evaluation by trained psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners, then receive a personalized taper plan delivered through the Outro app, with monthly video visits, symptom tracking, care-team messaging, and mail-delivered compounded prescriptions, plus peer support and lifestyle classes. The service is offered via subscription plans with varying levels of clinician visits and access, serving patients in 14 US states from its New York headquarters, with the goal of helping people taper safely and maintain long-term wellbeing.
