Hormone-informed psych evaluation near Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and downtown Hollywood
Patients driving from Hollywood (0 min) can complete the first evaluation in Hollywood or, when clinically appropriate, by Florida telehealth.
What Psychiatric Evaluations actually includes
Functional psychiatric evaluation adds labs and metabolic context to the psychiatric interview. Labs do not license skipping DSM-5-TR criteria.
Screening appointments can triage; they do not replace a full evaluation when bipolar, psychosis, or perinatal risk is on the table.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Safety screen every visit: SI/HI, psychosis, inability to care for self, and intoxication.
Informed consent is documented for off-label use when evidence supports it and alternatives were discussed.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.
We do not combine MAOIs with contraindicated agents. We do not ignore serotonin syndrome risk.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Safety: if risk is high, we stop the routine template and use crisis pathways.
Opening 10 minutes: chief concern, safety, and what you want the evaluation to decide.
Before the visit: intake forms, medication list, prior labs. Incomplete forms shrink the diagnostic hour.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Hollywood FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
How long is a psychiatric evaluation?
New evaluations are typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk and how many variables changed.
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
Do you replace my therapist?
No. Psychiatric evaluation and psychotherapy are complementary.
Is this a psychiatrist (MD/DO)?
Care is provided by Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She diagnoses and prescribes within Florida APRN scope. She is not an MD psychiatrist.
Can you evaluate psychosis?
Yes, and we will escalate to a higher level of care if outpatient treatment is unsafe.
Do you treat ADHD in adults?
Yes, with a differential that includes sleep, trauma, mood, and thyroid mimics. Childhood history still matters.
