Telehealth medication management for Florida patients
Coral Springs patients (32 min to Hollywood) can split care: in-office labs, video titration when stable.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Refill-only care is not offered. If you need only a refill, you still need a monitoring interval.
Coral Springs FAQs for Medication Management
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
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.

32-minute path to the Hollywood office
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Coral Springs (Broward County) has about 134,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 32 minutes from Downtown Coral Springs and Mullins Park.
Coral Springs sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Refill delays in Broward County caused withdrawal that was called a 'relapse.'

From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.

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.
