Secure telepsychiatry from a Hollywood medical home
This is not 'virtual therapy' as a synonym for weekly psychotherapy. This is medical psychiatric care by video.
Telehealth Psychiatry for Hillsboro Beach patients

Clinical FAQ
Can you order labs?
Yes, to draw sites near 33062.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
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.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
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.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
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.
Hillsboro Beach sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.
No dual-tasking (driving) during visits.
36-minute path to the Hollywood office
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.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Hillsboro Beach presentations. Telehealth Psychiatry intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
{access}. That access pattern is why Telehealth Psychiatry for Hillsboro Beach is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
You were told telehealth cannot order labs, so thyroid never got checked.

Next step
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Telehealth Psychiatry, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
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.
