Cooper City FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
What if my kids are home in Cooper City?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
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.
Book Telehealth Psychiatry
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
