Sleep medication management that does not skip apnea
Tapering is a procedure. Stopping paroxetine or a benzodiazepine 'cold' is not a plan.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Functional psychiatry does not mean 'no medication.' It means medication plus the labs that could change the choice.
Antipsychotic monitoring is metabolic and neurologic, not just 'mood better / worse.'
Clinical FAQ
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 22 minutes from Wilton Manors.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Do you provide LGBTQ+-affirming psychiatric care?
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.
Can you coordinate hormone therapy with psychiatric medication?
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.
