Labs as instruments, not identity
Crisis is not a lab day.
What Functional Psychiatry & Lab Testing actually includes
Hormone panel mental health: timed, interpreted, not pellet bait.
GeneSight testing in Hollywood is optional and post-failure, not a rite of intake.
Clinical FAQ
Genetic privacy?
We treat it as sensitive data.
What if labs are normal?
We still treat the psychiatric diagnosis if it is there.
Who interprets?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.
Iron?
Ferritin when the story fits.
Crisis?
988/ER, not a draw center.
Insurance?
Varies by test. We discuss non-covered costs.
Is your practice discreet for Aventura patients?
Absolutely. We maintain strict HIPAA compliance, and our telehealth option ensures complete privacy. Many Aventura patients prefer virtual appointments from their residence or office.
Do you address image-related anxiety and mood disorders?
Yes. We treat the full spectrum of anxiety and mood disorders, including those related to social pressure, perfectionism, and performance expectations common in high-achieving communities.
