Women's Hormone Therapy for Pompano Beach patients
Perimenopause HRT decisions require a history of cycles, vasomotor symptoms, and psychiatric syndromes.
Bioidentical means molecular structure; it does not mean unregulated or safer by default.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Pompano Beach patients who drive 28 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
ZIP 33060 is the lead postal code listed for Pompano Beach. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Order labs that could change the plan.
Write the plan so the patient can repeat the risks.
28-minute path to the Hollywood office
Pompano Beach (Broward County) has about 112,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 28 minutes from Pompano Beach Pier and the Atlantic Boulevard corridor.
Pompano Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Women's Hormone Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
{access}. That access pattern is why Women's Hormone Therapy for Pompano Beach is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Libido collapse after SSRI was never named as a side effect.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Do not start estrogen and a new antidepressant on the same day without a reason.
Shared decision: HRT, psychotropic, both, or neither.
Discuss mammography and cervical screening as primary-care tasks we will not skip mentioning.
Review contraindications to estrogen.
Clinical FAQ
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
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 we rule in — and rule out
Thyroid disease as a co-indication for labs, not a DIY HRT start.
Not indicated as sole treatment of bipolar I mania.
Surgical menopause with mood destabilization.
Patients who want a second opinion on a pellet clinic plan.
Next step
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.
Start with one thorough Women's Hormone Therapy evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.

Florida telehealth psychiatry is available to established and new patients located in Florida at the time of the visit, subject to licensure and clinical appropriateness. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
