Fort Lauderdale FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.

Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.

Absolutely. We see many Fort Lauderdale professionals dealing with workplace stress, burnout, and performance anxiety. Our evaluations identify root causes and create targeted treatment plans.

How Fort Lauderdale patients actually get here

Fort Lauderdale sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Women's Hormone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.

Discuss mammography and cervical screening as primary-care tasks we will not skip mentioning.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
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.
Start with one thorough Women's Hormone Therapy evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
