Valproate: level, LFTs, CBC, pregnancy counseling.
How Hillsboro Beach patients actually get here
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.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hillsboro Beach presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Decide: continue, adjust, switch, or taper — one primary change when possible.
Clinical FAQ
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.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Do you treat insomnia with medication only?
No. We look for apnea, circadian issues, alcohol, and psychiatric drivers.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
What is GeneSight?
A pharmacogenetic panel that may adjust probabilities for certain antidepressants. It does not diagnose ADHD or depression.
Where is the office for in-person med checks?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 36 minutes from Hillsboro Beach.
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.
