Lauderhill (Broward County) has about 74,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 18 minutes from Lauderhill Mall and the Inverrary corridor.

Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Can I refuse HRT?
Yes.
Do you work with my OB/GYN?
With consent.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Does Dr. Chatelier understand Caribbean cultural views on mental health?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural perspectives on mental health common in Caribbean communities. She provides respectful, culturally aware psychiatric care.

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.
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.
