Adult psychiatric evaluation for Hollywood patients
Bring prior labs, medication lists, and therapy notes. Repeating the entire life history from zero wastes the diagnostic hour.
Clinical scope of Psychiatric Evaluations in Broward County
Anxiety evaluation separates GAD, panic, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and medical mimics such as hyperthyroidism or stimulant toxicity.
Psychosis evaluation treats hallucinations, delusions, and disorganization as time-sensitive. Substance-induced and mood-with-psychosis are on the differential.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
Before the visit: intake forms, medication list, prior labs. Incomplete forms shrink the diagnostic hour.
Opening 10 minutes: chief concern, safety, and what you want the evaluation to decide.
0-minute path to the Hollywood office
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Hollywood patients who drive 0 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.

PHQ-9 was never scored, or it was scored once and never repeated, so nobody can tell whether treatment is working.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Hollywood patients who drive 0 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.

Follow-up is scheduled before you leave so the evaluation is not a one-off performance.
Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
Monitoring and safety in Psychiatric Evaluations
Notes are written the same day whenever possible so the record matches the visit.
If GeneSight is used, results are filed with the limitation statement in the note.
Follow-up interval tightens when a new antidepressant, antipsychotic, or mood stabilizer is started.
PDMP review before controlled substances. No stimulant start from a chat message.
What we rule in — and rule out
Not indicated solely to obtain a letter that the interview does not support.
New or unexplained mood, anxiety, attentional, or psychotic symptoms lasting beyond a brief adjustment reaction.
Prior diagnoses that conflict with each other or with the current mental status exam.
Not indicated as a substitute for emergency care, inpatient psychiatry, or court-ordered forensic evaluation.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
If Psychiatric Evaluations 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.
After Psychiatric Evaluations is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
