Women's HRT from a PMHNP-BC medical home
PMDD is a DSM-5-TR diagnosis with luteal-phase timing. It is not 'bad PMS' as a vibe.
Clinical scope of Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County
Bioidentical means molecular structure; it does not mean unregulated or safer by default.
Hormone therapy for women with psychiatric symptoms needs both skill sets in one formulation.
10-minute path to the Hollywood office
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.
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.
{access}. That access pattern is why Women's Hormone Therapy for Dania Beach is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Migraines with aura were not in the HRT note.
In-office versus Florida telehealth

Shared decision: HRT, psychotropic, both, or neither.
Coordinate with GYN/PCP.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence

Document lactation plans.
Reassess at a short interval because perimenopause is not a static lab value.
Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
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.
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.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
