Clinical FAQ
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
How close is the office?
About 22 minutes from Oakland Park.
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.
