Secure video means a HIPAA platform, not FaceTime.
DSM-5-TR framing for home psych evaluation
Weather, illness, or mobility limits that still allow a private room and camera.
Hybrid plans are preferred when controlled substances or complex medical comorbidity exist.
Not a replacement for psychotherapy groups or IOP.

Clinical FAQ
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.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 12 minutes from Hallandale Beach to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
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.
Protocol elements we do not skip

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
If Telehealth Psychiatry 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.
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
