Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
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 prescribe Adderall by video?
Only if the evaluation and PDMP support it, and policy allows. Not as a first-click product.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 0 minutes from Hollywood to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Protocol elements we do not skip
Convert to office if video cannot complete risk assessment.
Do not use SMS for clinical decision-making.
Emergency address confirmed (where EMS would go).
Interpreter use when language requires it.

Clinician: Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Last medical review: 2026-09-21.
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.
