Dania Beach FAQs for Medication Management
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
How close is your office to Dania Beach?
Extremely close — our Hollywood office is approximately 5-10 minutes from Dania Beach. We're one of the nearest psychiatric practices for Dania Beach residents.
Is the practice large or small?
We're a focused private practice where you work directly with Dr. Chatelier, DNP — not a large clinic. This ensures continuity of care and a strong therapeutic relationship.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
