Hormone Mood Assessment
Hormone mood assessments investigate how hormonal imbalances — thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol — contribute to mood symptoms. Many patients diagnosed with depression or anxiety actually have underlying hormonal causes that respond to targeted hormone treatment alongside or instead of psychiatric medication.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Pembroke Pines Residents
Pembroke Pines is one of Broward County's largest cities with over 170,000 residents. Known for its top-rated schools, family-friendly neighborhoods like Century Village and Chapel Trail, and major shopping destinations, Pines attracts diverse families seeking suburban comfort. The pressures of parenting, career demands, and South Florida's cost of living drive significant mental health care needs.
Our licensed experts assess mood, cognition, and root causes with functional testing. Unlike quick 15-minute assessments, our evaluations include a detailed clinical interview, review of medical history, and discussion of functional lab options — including hormone panels, thyroid function, and genetic testing — to identify biological factors that standard psychiatric evaluations often miss.
Why Choose Psychiatric Evaluations in Pembroke Pines?
Every evaluation results in a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific diagnosis, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you need medication management, hormone optimization, therapy referrals, or a combination approach, you'll leave your first appointment with a clear path forward and a provider who truly understands your complete health picture.
We believe psychiatric evaluation should be the beginning of a partnership, not a one-time event. Dr. Chatelier follows up to ensure your treatment plan is working, adjusts as needed, and coordinates with your other healthcare providers for truly integrated mental health care.
