Wilton Manors sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Wilton Manors presentations. Telehealth Psychiatry intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Wilton Manors patients who drive 22 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Video visits that last eight minutes and still bill as an evaluation.

Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
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.
What we rule in — and rule out
secure video psychiatry still has to be a medical visit, not a chat.
Hybrid plans are preferred when controlled substances or complex medical comorbidity exist.
Perinatal patients may use video for counseling and some follow-up; obstetric emergencies are not telehealth.

Book Telehealth Psychiatry

Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Telehealth Psychiatry, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
