lab testing psych
Psychiatric lab testing identifies biological factors contributing to mental health symptoms. We offer comprehensive panels including thyroid function, hormone levels, vitamin D, B12, folate, inflammatory markers, and pharmacogenetic testing to guide medication selection and identify treatable root causes.
Get a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your mental health. At Peace & Heart Wellness, Dr. Dorothy Chatelier conducts thorough 60-90 minute evaluations that go beyond surface-level symptom checklists. We assess mood patterns, cognitive function, sleep architecture, hormonal influences, and lifestyle factors that contribute to how you feel every day.
Our licensed experts assess mood, cognition, and root causes with functional testing. Unlike quick 15-minute assessments, our evaluations include a detailed clinical interview, review of medical history, and discussion of functional lab options — including hormone panels, thyroid function, and genetic testing — to identify biological factors that standard psychiatric evaluations often miss.
Every evaluation results in a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific diagnosis, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you need medication management, hormone optimization, therapy referrals, or a combination approach, you'll leave your first appointment with a clear path forward and a provider who truly understands your complete health picture.
We believe psychiatric evaluation should be the beginning of a partnership, not a one-time event. Dr. Chatelier follows up to ensure your treatment plan is working, adjusts as needed, and coordinates with your other healthcare providers for truly integrated mental health care.
