What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Booking telepsych is booking a medical visit with a location rule.
Telehealth psychiatry is a delivery setting for medical psychiatric care, limited to Florida presence.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Emergency address confirmed (where EMS would go).
Tech test before first visit when possible.
Location attestation in the note.
Same PDMP rules as office.
14-minute path to the Hollywood office
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Cooper City patients who drive 14 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Cooper City sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Time-zone tricks to look like you were in Florida.

Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
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.

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.
