Davie sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Davie include NSU district, Ivanhoe, Park City, and western Davie equestrian tracts. ZIP codes 33314, 33317, 33324, 33325 map to this service-area page.
ZIP 33314 is the lead postal code listed for Davie. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
You thought 'online psychiatrist' meant an MD; you got an unsupervised coach.

Camera-on policy for MSE when required.
Same PDMP rules as office.
Tech test before first visit when possible.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Davie presentations. Telehealth Psychiatry intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Convert to Hollywood office when a physical exam is needed.
Confirm Florida GPS/self-attested location and identity.
Clinical FAQ
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 12 minutes from Davie to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
How far are you from NSU?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 10 minutes from Nova Southeastern University's main campus, making us a convenient option for students seeking psychiatric care.
Do you treat college students from Davie?
Absolutely. We work with many college-age patients on ADHD management, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders common in academic settings.

Clinician: Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Last medical review: 2026-09-21.
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.
