HRT counseling that includes VTE, breast, and mood risk
Bone health claims stay inside what DEXA and endocrine guidelines actually support.
What Women's Hormone Therapy actually includes
Bone health is endocrinology plus lifestyle; we do not sell miracle density from a blog.
Booking an HRT consult is booking a medical visit with psychiatric overlap.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Lighthouse Point patients who drive 32 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Lighthouse Point include The Venetian Isles and Sample Road east of US-1. ZIP codes 33064 map to this service-area page.
Set monitoring: bleeding, mood scales, BP, labs.
Write the plan so the patient can repeat the risks.
DSM-5-TR framing for progesterone therapy women
Vasomotor symptoms wrecking sleep and daytime function.
Perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms with psychiatric comorbidity.
Not indicated as sole treatment of bipolar I mania.

Monitoring and safety in Women's Hormone Therapy
Refer DEXA when premature estrogen loss.
Bleeding on HRT = GYN, not 'watch forever.'

Questions we hear about Women's Hormone Therapy
Do leftover affordable URLs mean cheap estrogen?
No.
What about breast cancer risk?
We discuss it. Personal history may require oncology/GYN before estrogen.
Is bioidentical safer?
Bioidentical describes structure. Risk depends on dose, route, and your history — not the marketing word.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Crisis?
988 or ER. Especially for postpartum psychosis.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
32-minute path to the Hollywood office
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.
{access}. That access pattern is why Women's Hormone Therapy for Lighthouse Point is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Lighthouse Point (Broward County) has about 10,500 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 32 minutes from Lighthouse Point Yacht Club and the Venetian Waterway.
You were refused hormones 'because it's just psychiatry.'
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Women's Hormone Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
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.

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.
