Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
Is brain fog always menopause?
No. Sleep, ADHD, depression, B12, and thyroid are on the list.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
What insurance do you accept for Pompano Beach patients?
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and more. Call (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific plan before your first visit.
Can you prescribe medication at the first appointment?
After a thorough psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Chatelier may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan. Initial evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes to ensure we understand your complete picture.
What changes if Women's Hormone Therapy is done thoroughly
Risk counseling: VTE, stroke, breast, endometrium — in plain language.
A follow-up to check whether the intervention changed sleep and PHQ-9, not just a refill.
Cultural context for menopause stigma.
Telehealth counseling for Pompano Beach when exams are not required.
Crisis path for postpartum psychosis: emergency, not a cream.
