Bioidentical is a chemistry word — still needs a chart
Hot flashes can wreck sleep, which then wrecks mood. We treat the chain, not a single token.
Women's Hormone Therapy for Dania Beach patients
Bioidentical means molecular structure; it does not mean unregulated or safer by default.
Libido workup is medical, not moral.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Refer DEXA when premature estrogen loss.
Informed consent stored.
Emergency precautions for chest pain/neuro deficits on estrogen.
No pellet-only practice.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Complete psychiatric evaluation standards (safety, bipolar screen, substances).
Stop or change a hormone if mood destabilizes and the timeline fits.
Coordinate with GYN/PCP.
Telehealth for counseling; office or GYN for procedures.
Clinical FAQ
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
How close is the office?
About 10 minutes from Dania Beach.
How close is your office to Dania Beach?
Extremely close — our Hollywood office is approximately 5-10 minutes from Dania Beach. We're one of the nearest psychiatric practices for Dania Beach residents.
Is the practice large or small?
We're a focused private practice where you work directly with Dr. Chatelier, DNP — not a large clinic. This ensures continuity of care and a strong therapeutic relationship.
Indications and differentials
PMDD meeting diagnostic timing.
Not indicated to treat breast cancer.
Surgical menopause with mood destabilization.
Contraindication counseling itself can be the visit goal.
How Dania Beach patients actually get here
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Dania Beach presentations. Women's Hormone Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Dania Beach patients who drive 10 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Shared decision: HRT, psychotropic, both, or neither.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Women's Hormone Therapy. Mention Dania Beach so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
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.

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.
