Thyroid plus sex-hormone review for psychiatric symptoms
Lauderhill patients can complete counseling by Florida telehealth; some exams and procedures cannot.
Clinical scope of Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County
Affordable estrogen URLs are retained; not a discount promise.
Women's HRT in this clinic is hormone-informed psychiatry, not a med-spa catalog.
From intake to follow-up: Women's Hormone Therapy
Stop or change a hormone if mood destabilizes and the timeline fits.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Reassess at a short interval because perimenopause is not a static lab value.
Discuss mammography and cervical screening as primary-care tasks we will not skip mentioning.
Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
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.
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.
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.
Does Dr. Chatelier understand Caribbean cultural views on mental health?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural perspectives on mental health common in Caribbean communities. She provides respectful, culturally aware psychiatric care.

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.
