Estradiol, progesterone, and the psychiatric differential
Estrogen and progesterone affect serotonin and sleep architecture. That is physiology, not a guarantee that HRT will replace an antidepressant.

Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
Do you help with libido?
We evaluate causes, including SSRI effects and endocrine factors. No guaranteed outcome.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
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 do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
How close are you to Pembroke Pines?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from central Pembroke Pines via Pines Boulevard or Sheridan Street. We also offer telehealth for maximum convenience.
Do you serve Century Village Pembroke Pines?
Yes, we serve many patients from Century Village and specialize in age-related mood changes, medication management for seniors, and hormone therapy.
DSM-5-TR framing for PMDD hormone treatment
Postpartum mood or anxiety needing medical evaluation.
Patients who want a second opinion on a pellet clinic plan.
SSRI sexual dysfunction plus a hormone question.
Not indicated when VTE or estrogen-sensitive cancer history blocks estrogen without oncology input.
Parking, hours, and video visits

Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Women's Hormone Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Write the plan so the patient can repeat the risks.
Reassess at a short interval because perimenopause is not a static lab value.
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.
If Women's Hormone Therapy is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
