Mental health assessment that records differentials
Patients driving from Dania Beach (10 min) can complete the first evaluation in Hollywood or, when clinically appropriate, by Florida telehealth.
Clinical scope of Psychiatric Evaluations in Broward County
Adult ADHD assessment uses developmental history, ASRS, and mimics (anxiety, trauma, sleep, thyroid). A childhood report card helps; a viral video does not.
Best-practice evaluation is the one that writes a differential and a monitoring plan. Star adjectives in old keywords are marketing residue, not a ranking.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Notes are written the same day whenever possible so the record matches the visit.
Informed consent is documented for off-label use when evidence supports it and alternatives were discussed.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.

Dania Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Psychiatric Evaluations when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
A perinatal mood episode was called 'baby blues' past the window where screening tools say otherwise.
Dania Beach FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
Do you replace my therapist?
No. Psychiatric evaluation and psychotherapy are complementary.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 10 minutes from Dania Beach.
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
Can the evaluation be done by video?
Often yes if you are physically in Florida and a physical exam is not required. High-risk, first-episode psychosis, or complex medical cases may need the Hollywood office.
Do you accept insurance?
Most major plans are accepted; verify benefits before the visit. Coverage is not a clinical promise.
Is GeneSight required?
No. It is considered after failed medication trials or significant side effects.
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.
Parking, hours, and video visits
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Dania Beach presentations. Psychiatric Evaluations intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Dania Beach patients who drive 10 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
History of present illness is a timeline, not a mood adjective. We date onsets, postpartum windows, and medication trials.
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
