Cooper City FAQs for Massage Therapy
Crisis?
988 or ER, not the table.
Panic on the table?
We stop. If medical emergency, ER.
Do I have to get massage to see Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC?
No.
Men welcome?
Yes.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Trauma?
Only with consent and not as a substitute for trauma therapy.
Is Cooper City close to your office?
Very close — our Hollywood office at 7603 Davie Road Extension is about 10 minutes from Cooper City via Stirling Road or Griffin Road.
Do you work with families?
Yes. We provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults, and can coordinate care with family therapists for a comprehensive approach.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
If Massage Therapy 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.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Massage Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
