Clinical FAQ
Trauma?
Only with consent and not as a substitute for trauma therapy.
Crisis?
988 or ER, not the table.
Is it required for HRT?
No.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Can it help anxiety?
Some people get short-term somatic relief. GAD still needs a diagnosis.
Contraindications?
Clots, fever, some skin/cardiac conditions — we screen.
Do you work with patients dealing with trauma-related anxiety?
Yes. Our psychiatric evaluations thoroughly assess anxiety and trauma-related conditions, and we create comprehensive treatment plans that may include medication, therapy referrals, and functional testing.
Is telehealth available for Coral Springs patients?
Absolutely. Many Coral Springs patients use our secure telehealth platform, especially for follow-up medication management appointments. It saves the drive while maintaining quality of care.

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
After Massage Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
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.
