Lighthouse Point FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
How close is the office?
About 32 minutes from Lighthouse Point.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
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.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
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.

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.
