Women's Hormone Therapy for Sunrise patients
Hormone therapy for women with psychiatric symptoms needs both skill sets in one formulation.
Female hormone doctor in consumer search often means a prescriber. Here it is a PMHNP-BC coordinating with GYN.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
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.
Sunrise 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.
Reassess at a short interval because perimenopause is not a static lab value.
Write the plan so the patient can repeat the risks.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
TSH with free T4.

Clinical FAQ
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Is this anti-aging?
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.
How close is the office?
About 22 minutes from Sunrise.
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Do you accept insurance for Sunrise patients?
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Call us at (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.

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.
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.
