Libido, sleep, and hot flashes documented as symptoms, not slogans
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
Top-rated language is ignored. Risk counseling is the product.
Postpartum hormone therapy is not a substitute for postpartum depression/psychosis protocols.
12-minute path to the Hollywood office
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.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Davie patients who drive 12 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 Davie presentations. Women's Hormone Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
You were promised bioidentical means risk-free.
Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
How far are you from NSU?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from Nova Southeastern University's main campus, making us a convenient option for students seeking psychiatric care.
Do you treat college students from Davie?
Absolutely. We work with many college-age patients on ADHD management, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders common in academic settings.

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
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.
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.
