Bioidentical is a chemistry word — still needs a chart
We order labs when the history of sleep HRT women suggests endocrine contribution. We do not diagnose menopause from a mood adjective.
What Women's Hormone Therapy actually includes
Hot flash care can improve sleep continuity, which then improves daytime mood scores.
Walk-in HRT URLs are retained; care is scheduled.
Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Is this anti-aging?
No.
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.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.
Do you take a functional approach to psychiatry?
Yes. Beyond traditional medication management, we investigate root causes including hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies — an approach Plantation patients particularly value.

Plantation sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Women's Hormone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
