Hot flashes can wreck sleep, which then wrecks mood. We treat the chain, not a single token.

Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
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.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
Do you treat postpartum depression?
We evaluate and treat. Postpartum psychosis is an emergency.
Are you a gynecologist?
No. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC is a PMHNP-BC providing hormone-informed psychiatric care.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
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.
