Clinical FAQ
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
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.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
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.
What we rule in — and rule out
Patients who want a second opinion on a pellet clinic plan.
Thyroid disease as a co-indication for labs, not a DIY HRT start.
Vasomotor symptoms wrecking sleep and daytime function.
PMDD meeting diagnostic timing.
