Remote medication management when you are in Florida
Aventura is about 20 minutes from the office. Use video when traffic is the obstacle and the case is appropriate.
What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Remote medication management still uses PDMP and labs.
Functional telepsych = interview + local lab draw + video results visit.
In-office versus Florida telehealth

No dual-tasking (driving) during visits.

Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33160.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
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.

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.
