Meet Dr. Dor
"My mission is to hold space for your story, connect the dots science reveals, and walk alongside your healing."
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, lovingly called "Dr. Dor," blends psychiatric mental health expertise with hormone optimization, functional nutrition, and faith-centered counseling. Over the course of her career, she has guided pastors, executives, creatives, and caregivers through complex mental health journeys - always reminding them that healing is collaborative, sacred, and possible.
She believes in slowing down enough to listen, running advanced labs when traditional answers fall short, and designing integrative plans that empower you to sustain your breakthroughs far beyond the prescription pad.

Philosophy of Care
Whole-hearted psychiatry meets functional wellness.
Peace & Heart Wellness believes people heal when mind, body, and spirit are invited into the same conversation. We look beyond symptom management to identify nutritional gaps, hormonal shifts, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic stressors impacting your emotional balance.
Every visit is collaborative. We co-create plans that involve carefully selected medications (when appropriate), micronutrient support, trauma-informed therapy referrals, spiritual direction, and nervous system regulation tools.
Relational First
Therapeutic alliances grounded in genuine listening, respect, and culturally aware care.
Root-Cause Focused
Functional testing, hormone insights, and lifestyle mapping to uncover what fuels your symptoms.
Evidence-Informed
Board-certified psychiatric expertise blended with integrative modalities that support long-term stability.
Personalized Plans
No copy-paste medicine - each plan is layered around your history, values, and goals.
Meet the Team
Experts who lead with empathy.
We are clinicians, educators, and advocates who normalize conversations about mental health, hormones, culture, and faith - because your healing deserves a village.

About Us
Compassionate Psychiatry for Real People, Real Struggles, and Real Healing
