Bone health is endocrinology plus lifestyle; we do not sell miracle density from a blog.
Booking an HRT consult is booking a medical visit with psychiatric overlap.
Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
How close is the office?
About 10 minutes from Dania Beach.
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.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
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.
What we rule in — and rule out
Surgical menopause with mood destabilization.
Premature hypoestrogenism needing specialist collaboration.
Thyroid disease as a co-indication for labs, not a DIY HRT start.
SSRI sexual dysfunction plus a hormone question.
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.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Women's Hormone Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Coordinate with GYN/PCP.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Write the plan so the patient can repeat the risks.
Document lactation plans.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Bipolar screen before unopposed-feeling antidepressant plans.
Postpartum: screen for psychosis.
Do not exceed physiologic replacement as a mood experiment.
No pellet-only practice.
