Clinical FAQ
How close is the office?
About 28 minutes from Pompano Beach.
Can this be telehealth?
Counseling and some follow-up, if you are in Florida. Procedures and some exams cannot.
Is this anti-aging?
No.
Can HRT replace my antidepressant?
Sometimes mood improves when sleep and vasomotor symptoms improve. Sometimes you still need a psychotropic. We do not promise a swap.
Will you check thyroid?
Yes when the history fits. Fatigue and mood are not 'just estrogen' by default.
Can progesterone worsen mood?
Yes in some patients. Tell us; we change the plan.
What insurance do you accept for Pompano Beach patients?
We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross, United, and more. Call (888) 307-2199 to verify your specific plan before your first visit.
Can you prescribe medication at the first appointment?
After a thorough psychiatric evaluation, Dr. Chatelier may recommend medication as part of your treatment plan. Initial evaluations typically last 60-90 minutes to ensure we understand your complete picture.
Credentials and method
The Hollywood office is the only brick-and-mortar site. Women's Hormone Therapy for Pompano Beach is service-area care from that office plus telehealth — not a separate clinic in every city.
Crisis care is not provided after hours. Women's Hormone Therapy patients in acute danger are directed to 988 or an emergency department. Ongoing care resumes after medical stabilization.
Hormone-informed psychiatry means estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and cortisol are considered when the history for Women's Hormone Therapy points there — not as a default panel on every patient.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Pompano Beach (Broward County) has about 112,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 28 minutes from Pompano Beach Pier and the Atlantic Boulevard corridor.

Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Women's Hormone Therapy can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.
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.

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.
