Deerfield Beach FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
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.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Can seasonal residents establish psychiatric care with you?
Yes. We offer initial evaluations for seasonal visitors and can continue care via telehealth when patients return to their home state, subject to licensing requirements.
Do you treat depression related to isolation?
Absolutely. Isolation-related depression is common in coastal communities, especially among retirees and seasonal residents. Our evaluations identify contributing factors including hormonal changes and social disconnection.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated when VTE or estrogen-sensitive cancer history blocks estrogen without oncology input.
SSRI sexual dysfunction plus a hormone question.
Contraindication counseling itself can be the visit goal.
Surgical menopause with mood destabilization.
