GeneSight-informed trials after failed antidepressants
We measure what the drug can harm: sodium, TSH, lipids, A1c, weight, AIMS, pregnancy — class by class.
What Medication Management actually includes
Top-rated language in old keywords is ignored. Monitoring quality is the product.
Antidepressant management includes adequate dose/duration, activation screening, and suicide-risk follow-up after initiation.
How Medication Management is structured
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Access from Hillsboro Beach
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hillsboro Beach presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Hillsboro Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Medication Management when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Hillsboro Beach patients who drive 36 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
You fear dependency, so you skip doses and then crash, which looks like 'nonadherence.'
Parking, hours, and video visits
Hillsboro Beach (Broward County) has about 2,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 36 minutes from Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse and Millionaire Mile.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Hillsboro Beach include The barrier-island residential strip along A1A. ZIP codes 33062 map to this service-area page.

Confirm the target symptom and the diagnosis it belongs to.
What we rule in — and rule out
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
Not indicated to supply controlled substances without a supporting diagnosis and monitoring plan.
Antidepressants only after bipolar-spectrum screening.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Hillsboro Beach FAQs for Medication Management
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
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 about pregnancy?
Tell us before a prescription is sent. Some agents need specialist coordination.
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
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.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Medication Management so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Medication Management, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

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.
