Women's HRT from a PMHNP-BC medical home
Thyroid disorders mimic perimenopause. TSH with free T4 is not optional when the story fits.
Clinical scope of Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County
Perimenopause HRT decisions require a history of cycles, vasomotor symptoms, and psychiatric syndromes.
Hormone therapy for women with psychiatric symptoms needs both skill sets in one formulation.
22-minute path to the Hollywood office
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Sunrise presentations. Women's Hormone Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Sunrise (Broward County) has about 96,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 22 minutes from Sawgrass Mills and the Amerant Bank Arena district.

Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
How close is the office?
About 22 minutes from Sunrise.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Call us at (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.

Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Women's Hormone Therapy can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.
After Women's Hormone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
