Aventura FAQs for Massage Therapy
Contraindications?
Clots, fever, some skin/cardiac conditions — we screen.
Insurance?
Often not covered like a medical visit. Ask before booking.
Pregnancy?
Tell us. Prenatal rules apply.
Can it help anxiety?
Some people get short-term somatic relief. GAD still needs a diagnosis.
Meds that bruise?
Tell us.
Panic on the table?
We stop. If medical emergency, ER.
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.

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Request a Massage Therapy visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.

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.
