Women's HRT from a PMHNP-BC medical home
Walk-in HRT is not how this clinic works. Hormone decisions follow labs and a history.
Clinical scope of Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County
Top-rated language is ignored. Risk counseling is the product.
Libido workup is medical, not moral.
Visit flow for Women's Hormone Therapy

Map the menstrual, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopausal timeline onto the mood timeline.
How Lauderdale-by-the-Sea patients actually get here
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Women's Hormone Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Women's Hormone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Document lactation plans.
What we rule in — and rule out
SSRI sexual dysfunction plus a hormone question.
Postpartum mood or anxiety needing medical evaluation.
Thyroid disease as a co-indication for labs, not a DIY HRT start.
Not indicated to treat breast cancer.

{access}. That access pattern is why Women's Hormone Therapy for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea patients who drive 28 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
ZIP 33308 is the lead postal code listed for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
DEXA was never discussed despite premature hypoestrogenism.
Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Are psychiatric services available near Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
While we're not located in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, our Hollywood office is about 25 minutes away, and our telehealth platform makes follow-up care extremely convenient for coastal residents.
Do you address seasonal mood changes?
Yes. Seasonal affective patterns, including reverse SAD (summer-related), are recognized in our evaluations. Florida's unique climate patterns can affect mood differently than northern states.

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.
