Side-effect management that names the actual syndrome
If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.
Medication Management for Aventura patients
Sleep medication management asks whether the drug is treating insomnia or hiding apnea and alcohol.
Psych med management includes saying no when the requested drug does not match the diagnosis.
Indications and differentials
Taper request that requires a medical schedule.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Not indicated for out-of-state telehealth prescribing.
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
How Medication Management is structured
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Counsel on onset, alcohol, driving, pregnancy, and overdose risk.
Aventura FAQs for Medication Management
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 20 minutes from Aventura.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
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.
