GeneSight-informed trials after failed antidepressants
Missed monitoring labs pause titration. That is safety, not punishment.
Medication Management for Hallandale Beach patients
Functional psychiatry does not mean 'no medication.' It means medication plus the labs that could change the choice.
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Clinical FAQ
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
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.
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.

12-minute path to the Hollywood office
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Hallandale Beach include Three Islands, Golden Isles, and downtown Hallandale. ZIP codes 33009 map to this service-area page.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Hallandale Beach patients who drive 12 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Perinatal patients were given a drug with a lactation profile nobody explained.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Hallandale Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Hallandale Beach (Broward County) has about 42,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 12 minutes from Gulfstream Park and the A1A beach district.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
Check labs due for the current class.
Next step
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Medication Management. Mention Hallandale Beach so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.

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.
