Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Is your practice discreet for Aventura patients?
Absolutely. We maintain strict HIPAA compliance, and our telehealth option ensures complete privacy. Many Aventura patients prefer virtual appointments from their residence or office.
Do you address image-related anxiety and mood disorders?
Yes. We treat the full spectrum of anxiety and mood disorders, including those related to social pressure, perfectionism, and performance expectations common in high-achieving communities.
How Aventura patients actually get here
ZIP 33160 is the lead postal code listed for Aventura. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Aventura presentations. Women's Hormone Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Map the menstrual, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopausal timeline onto the mood timeline.
Next step
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Women's Hormone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
If Women's Hormone Therapy is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
