Lighthouse Point FAQs for Massage Therapy
Red-flag headache?
ER, not massage.
Panic on the table?
We stop. If medical emergency, ER.
Where?
Hollywood office area; 32 min from Lighthouse Point.
Can I keep clothes on?
Yes.
Can it help anxiety?
Some people get short-term somatic relief. GAD still needs a diagnosis.
Meds that bruise?
Tell us.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
Indications and differentials
Not indicated for DVT, open wounds, unexplained fever.
Optional, never required for psych care.
Neck pain without red flags.

Parking, hours, and video visits
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Massage Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Lighthouse Point sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Massage Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
No diagnostic claims from the therapist.

Book Massage Therapy
Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Massage Therapy can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.

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.
