Hormone-informed psych evaluation near Promenade at Coconut Creek and the Butterfly World district
This page is for people who need a diagnosis formulated — not a same-day stimulant script from a portal message.
What Psychiatric Evaluations actually includes
Anxiety evaluation separates GAD, panic, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and medical mimics such as hyperthyroidism or stimulant toxicity.
Walk-in language on older URLs means we will try to find an earlier slot when risk is high — not that a diagnostic interview happens in a lobby.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
PDMP review before controlled substances. No stimulant start from a chat message.
Pregnancy status and contraception when prescribing agents with teratogenic or lactation issues.
Informed consent is documented for off-label use when evidence supports it and alternatives were discussed.
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
What we rule in — and rule out
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
Out-of-state patients cannot complete a Florida telehealth evaluation while physically outside Florida.
Prior diagnoses that conflict with each other or with the current mental status exam.
top rated psych eval is treated as a presenting complaint that still has to survive a differential, not as a self-diagnosis we rubber-stamp.

Visit flow for Psychiatric Evaluations
Scales are chosen to match the hypothesis — we do not print every questionnaire in the building.
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
After the visit you should be able to repeat the working diagnosis and the next three steps.
History of present illness is a timeline, not a mood adjective. We date onsets, postpartum windows, and medication trials.
How Coconut Creek patients actually get here
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Psychiatric Evaluations visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.

Next step
If Psychiatric Evaluations is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
After Psychiatric Evaluations is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
