Hillsboro Beach FAQs for Massage Therapy
Red-flag headache?
ER, not massage.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Meds that bruise?
Tell us.
Do I have to get massage to see Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC?
No.
Can it help anxiety?
Some people get short-term somatic relief. GAD still needs a diagnosis.
Panic on the table?
We stop. If medical emergency, ER.
Can I do all appointments via telehealth?
After an initial evaluation (which we recommend in-person for the most thorough assessment), most follow-up appointments can be conducted via our secure telehealth platform.
How do you ensure privacy?
All appointments and records are HIPAA-compliant. Telehealth sessions use encrypted video, and we never share patient information without explicit consent.

Next step

If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Massage Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
