Massage therapy as a psychiatric adjunct in Wilton Manors
You can decline body work and still receive psychiatric care.

Clinical FAQ

ER, not massage.

Yes.

Yes. We provide competent, affirming psychiatric care for all patients. Our hormone therapy services and psychiatric evaluations are delivered with respect for every patient's identity.

Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We understand the interplay between hormone levels and mood, and manage both under one clinical roof for optimal outcomes.
What we rule in — and rule out
