Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
Crisis plus a medication question is still a crisis: 988 or ER first.
What Medication Management actually includes
Sleep medication management asks whether the drug is treating insomnia or hiding apnea and alcohol.
Functional psychiatry does not mean 'no medication.' It means medication plus the labs that could change the choice.
From intake to follow-up: Medication Management
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Telehealth visits verify Florida location.
Clinical FAQ
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
Can you help me taper?
Yes. Tapers are scheduled by drug class. Do not stop MAOIs, benzos, or paroxetine abruptly on your own.
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.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
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.

If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
Book Medication Management
If Medication Management is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
Questions about insurance, labs, or whether Medication Management can be done by video: call (888) 307-2199 before you book so the visit type matches the clinical need.

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.
