Telehealth ADHD care after a real differential
You must be physically in Florida at the time of the visit. Crossing a state line pauses prescribing.
Clinical scope of Telehealth Psychiatry in Broward County
Functional telepsych = interview + local lab draw + video results visit.
Telepsych hormone therapy is follow-up and counseling; procedures stay in clinic or at a lab.
Clinical FAQ
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
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 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.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
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.
If risk is high, stop and use crisis instructions for Broward County.
Verify insurance telehealth coverage before the visit when possible.
Indications and differentials
Established patients with stable housing and privacy are the best telehealth fit.
Patients in Hillsboro Beach for whom 36 minutes plus parking is the barrier.

South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hillsboro Beach presentations. Telehealth Psychiatry intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
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 have no private room in a Hillsboro Beach multigenerational household.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Tech test before first visit when possible.
Interpreter use when language requires it.
Same documentation time standards.

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Telehealth Psychiatry. Mention Hillsboro Beach so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
