Side-effect management that names the actual syndrome
We measure what the drug can harm: sodium, TSH, lipids, A1c, weight, AIMS, pregnancy — class by class.
What Medication Management actually includes
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Sleep medication management asks whether the drug is treating insomnia or hiding apnea and alcohol.
Parking, hours, and video visits

Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
No-show after a high-risk start triggers outreach.
Clinical FAQ
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.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Will you take over my current list?
After a diagnostic review. We do not rubber-stamp unsafe combinations.
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.
How Medication Management is structured
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
Check labs due for the current class.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Indications and differentials
Not indicated for out-of-state telehealth prescribing.
Not indicated as a replacement for inpatient care when risk is high.
Polypharmacy review when the list exceeds what the diagnosis can justify.
ADHD medication only after the evaluation supports ADHD over mimics.
Protocol elements we do not skip
MAOI diet and washout rules if that class is ever used.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
Opioid + benzo overlap is treated as a safety event.
Next step
Start with one thorough Medication Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
After Medication Management is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
