Clinical FAQ
Crisis?
988 or ER, not the table.
Where?
Hollywood office area; 32 min from Lighthouse Point.
Insurance?
Often not covered like a medical visit. Ask before booking.
Trauma?
Only with consent and not as a substitute for trauma therapy.
Meds that bruise?
Tell us.
Cortisol claims?
We do not sell cortisol miracles.
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.

Next step
Start with one thorough Massage Therapy evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
After Massage Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
