Bone, brain, and mood: what we can and cannot claim
Estrogen and progesterone affect serotonin and sleep architecture. That is physiology, not a guarantee that HRT will replace an antidepressant.
Clinical scope of Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County
Top-rated language is ignored. Risk counseling is the product.
Hot flash care can improve sleep continuity, which then improves daytime mood scores.
How Women's Hormone Therapy is structured
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Coordinate with GYN/PCP.
Discuss mammography and cervical screening as primary-care tasks we will not skip mentioning.
Document lactation plans.
Wilton Manors FAQs for Women's Hormone Therapy
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
What is PMDD?
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis with symptoms in the luteal phase that remit after menses. Timing matters.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Do you prescribe HRT?
When indicated after history, labs, and risk counseling, and often in coordination with GYN. This is not a pellet mill.
Do you provide LGBTQ+-affirming psychiatric care?
Yes. We provide competent, affirming psychiatric care for all patients. Our hormone therapy services and psychiatric evaluations are delivered with respect for every patient's identity.
Can you coordinate hormone therapy with psychiatric medication?
Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We understand the interplay between hormone levels and mood, and manage both under one clinical roof for optimal outcomes.

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.
