Bioidentical is a chemistry word — still needs a chart
Thyroid disorders mimic perimenopause. TSH with free T4 is not optional when the story fits.
What Women's Hormone Therapy actually includes
Thyroid and HRT overlap: check TSH before attributing everything to estradiol.
PMDD hormone treatment starts by confirming luteal-phase timing with a symptom diary when possible.
Clinical benefits of a complete Women's Hormone Therapy plan
Thyroid mimics identified before another psychotropic is stacked.
One medical home instead of a hormone boutique plus a separate psych app.

Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
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 treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
How long is the drive from Plantation?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Plantation via 595 or Broward Boulevard. Telehealth is also available for follow-up appointments.
Do you take a functional approach to psychiatry?
Yes. Beyond traditional medication management, we investigate root causes including hormone levels, thyroid function, and nutritional deficiencies — an approach Plantation patients particularly value.

Local context for Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County

Book Women's Hormone Therapy
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.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Women's Hormone Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
