Postpartum mood is time-sensitive. This page is not a substitute for emergency obstetric or psychiatric care.
Clinical scope of Women's Hormone Therapy in Broward County
Progesterone therapy can help some sleep/anxiety pictures and worsen others — that is why follow-up exists.
Women's HRT in this clinic is hormone-informed psychiatry, not a med-spa catalog.

Document lactation plans.
Telehealth for counseling; office or GYN for procedures.
Clinical FAQ
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
Do you do pellets?
We do not run a pellet-first model. If a GYN uses them, we still require a psychiatric formulation.
What labs?
Individualized: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, TSH, ferritin, vitamin D as indicated.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Hillsboro Beach include The barrier-island residential strip along A1A. ZIP codes 33062 map to this service-area page.
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.
Order labs that could change the plan.
Refer to emergency care for postpartum psychosis or severe SI.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Bipolar screen before unopposed-feeling antidepressant plans.
Lactation: pump/dump or compatible med list.
Refer DEXA when premature estrogen loss.
Do not exceed physiologic replacement as a mood experiment.
Indications and differentials
Thyroid disease as a co-indication for labs, not a DIY HRT start.
Premature hypoestrogenism needing specialist collaboration.
Not indicated as anti-aging retail.
Contraindication counseling itself can be the visit goal.
Credentials and method
HIPAA-compliant records, encrypted telehealth, and a single Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension keep Women's Hormone Therapy identifiable to one medical home instead of a rotating locum panel.
Women's Hormone Therapy at Peace & Heart Wellness is directed by Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, a Florida-licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with more than a decade of hormone-informed psychiatric practice. Care is hormone-informed and lab-aware rather than checklist-only.
GeneSight pharmacogenetic testing is available when prior antidepressant trials failed or side effects were limiting. Results are probabilistic, not deterministic.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Start with one thorough Women's Hormone Therapy evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
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.

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.
