Titration and monitoring — not a refill mill
Polypharmacy is treated as a risk to be justified, not a badge of complexity.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Antidepressant management includes adequate dose/duration, activation screening, and suicide-risk follow-up after initiation.
Mood-stabilizer adjustment uses levels, kidney/thyroid labs, and teratogenicity counseling when relevant.
DSM-5-TR framing for med side effects help
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
A DSM-5-TR diagnosis that has an evidence-based pharmacologic option the patient wants to consider.
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
med side effects help still has to map to a problem on the list.

South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Coral Springs presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
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.
A previous clinic used 'med check' as a 6-minute billing event.
In-office versus Florida telehealth

Clinical FAQ
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
What about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
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.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
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.
Next step
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Request a Medication Management visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.

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.
