What Women's Hormone Therapy actually includes
PMDD hormone treatment starts by confirming luteal-phase timing with a symptom diary when possible.
Libido workup is medical, not moral.
How Fort Lauderdale patients actually get here
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Fort Lauderdale patients who drive 20 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.

Clinical FAQ
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Can HRT replace my antidepressant?
Sometimes mood improves when sleep and vasomotor symptoms improve. Sometimes you still need a psychotropic. We do not promise a swap.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Do you serve downtown Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale, and we offer telehealth appointments for busy downtown professionals.
Can you help with work-related anxiety and burnout?
Absolutely. We see many Fort Lauderdale professionals dealing with workplace stress, burnout, and performance anxiety. Our evaluations identify root causes and create targeted treatment plans.
Protocol elements we do not skip
No pellet-only practice.
Lactation: pump/dump or compatible med list.
Bipolar screen before unopposed-feeling antidepressant plans.
Pregnancy test when relevant before hormones.
20-minute path to the Hollywood office
Fort Lauderdale (Broward County) has about 183,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 20 minutes from Las Olas, Port Everglades, and the downtown medical district.

From intake to follow-up: Women's Hormone Therapy
Order labs that could change the plan.
Stop or change a hormone if mood destabilizes and the timeline fits.
Write the plan so the patient can repeat the risks.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Book Women's Hormone Therapy
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Women's Hormone Therapy, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Women's Hormone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
