What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes
Thyroid mood testing is TSH with free T4 when indicated — not a T3 shopping list by default.
Lab testing psych in Hollywood includes interpretation.
Access from Hollywood
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hollywood presentations. Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Hollywood (Broward County) has about 153,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 0 minutes from Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and downtown Hollywood.

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.
