Questions we hear about Massage Therapy
Cortisol claims?
We do not sell cortisol miracles.
Can it help anxiety?
Some people get short-term somatic relief. GAD still needs a diagnosis.
Is this a spa?
No. Adjunctive clinical setting.
Insurance?
Often not covered like a medical visit. Ask before booking.
Do therapists diagnose ADHD?
No.
Meds that bruise?
Tell us.
Do you treat anxiety related to life transitions?
Yes. Life transitions — career changes, relocations, relationship shifts — are common triggers for anxiety and depression. Our evaluations assess these factors and create targeted treatment plans.
How far is Oakland Park from your office?
Our Hollywood office is about 20 minutes from Oakland Park. Telehealth appointments are also available for follow-up medication management visits.
Parking, hours, and video visits
ZIP 33304 is the lead postal code listed for Oakland Park. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
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.
If you are a psych patient, we confirm massage is adjunctive.
Do not book through a party-spa package as if it were psychiatry.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence

Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Oakland Park patients who drive 22 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Oakland Park presentations. Massage Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.

Book Massage Therapy
After Massage Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Massage Therapy, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

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.
