Questions we hear about Wellness & Weight Management
Do I need a dietitian?
Often yes. We refer.
Is binge-eating an eating disorder?
Binge-eating disorder is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis. We screen for it.
Is this a weight-loss spa?
No. It is psychiatric and metabolic overlap care.
How far is the office?
36 minutes from Deerfield Beach.
Hormone weight loss?
Labs if indicated. Hormones are not a fat-melting SKU.
Supplements?
Only if evidence and safety support them. No mystery stacks.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?
Yes. We offer initial evaluations for seasonal visitors and can continue care via telehealth when patients return to their home state, subject to licensing requirements.
Do you treat depression related to isolation?
Absolutely. Isolation-related depression is common in coastal communities, especially among retirees and seasonal residents. Our evaluations identify contributing factors including hormonal changes and social disconnection.
