From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
History of present illness is a timeline, not a mood adjective. We date onsets, postpartum windows, and medication trials.
Records from other clinicians are requested with your authorization; we do not pretend collateral is optional when the history is fragmented.
Labs are ordered when they could change management, not to decorate the chart.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.

Dania Beach FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.
What labs might you order?
Hypothesis-driven: TSH with free T4, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, folate, CBC, CMP, and selected hormones. Not every patient needs every test.
Is GeneSight required?
No. It is considered after failed medication trials or significant side effects.
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 10 minutes from Dania Beach.
Can I use this evaluation for a legal letter?
Only if the interview actually supports the opinion. We do not write unsupported letters.
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.
