Hollywood (Broward County) has about 153,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 0 minutes from Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and downtown Hollywood.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Massage Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
A spa ignored your lithium tremor and deep-tissueed anyway.
Next step
If Massage Therapy is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Massage Therapy, 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.
