Clinical FAQ

Do you treat insomnia with medication only?

No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.

Can medication management be telehealth?

Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.

Can you help me taper?

Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.

What is GeneSight?

A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.

Do you prescribe stimulants?

When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.

Can I refuse a medication?

Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.

How close is Hallandale Beach to your office?

Our Hollywood office is only about 10 minutes from Hallandale Beach via US-1 or I-95. We're very convenient for Hallandale residents.

Do you work with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds?

Yes. Our practice serves South Florida's diverse communities with culturally aware psychiatric care. Dr. Chatelier's multicultural background informs her compassionate, evidence-based approach.

Next step

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.

If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
