Our Story

Alternative to Meds Center was born from the vision that people deserve more than a lifetime of prescriptions. Founder Lyle Murphy established ATMC as a place where individuals could safely taper off psychiatric medications, explore root causes of symptoms, and rediscover health through natural methods. While Lyle passed in 2024, his philosophy lives on through our clinical team, who continue to blend evidence-based medicine with holistic practices in Sedona’s healing environment.
