Women's HRT from a PMHNP-BC medical home
We order labs when the history of women's HRT suggests endocrine contribution. We do not diagnose menopause from a mood adjective.
What Women's Hormone Therapy actually includes
Hormone therapy for women with psychiatric symptoms needs both skill sets in one formulation.
Bioidentical means molecular structure; it does not mean unregulated or safer by default.
Clinical FAQ
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Can HRT replace my antidepressant?
Sometimes mood improves when sleep and vasomotor symptoms improve. Sometimes you still need a psychotropic. We do not promise a swap.
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 help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Where is your Hollywood office?
Our office is located at 7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024. We're easily accessible from I-95, the Turnpike, and US-441.

Yes! We serve all Hollywood neighborhoods including Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Hills, Emerald Hills, and surrounding areas.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
