Video psychiatry that verifies your Florida location
First-episode psychosis, unstable vital-sign concerns, and some controlled-substance starts may still need 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What Telehealth Psychiatry actually includes
Virtual appointments still require a mental status exam — camera on when risk or diagnosis requires it.
Online mood-disorder care still screens mixed features.

Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Do you prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
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 about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
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.

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.
