Clinical intake for mental health assessment in Hollywood
This page is for people who need a diagnosis formulated — not a same-day stimulant script from a portal message.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Hollywood patients
Booking a psychiatric evaluation is the start of a record, not a guarantee of a preferred medication.
Adult ADHD assessment uses developmental history, ASRS, and mimics (anxiety, trauma, sleep, thyroid). A childhood report card helps; a viral video does not.
Stressors we document in Hollywood
Labs were never ordered despite fatigue, hair loss, cold intolerance, or perimenopausal flooding.
The last evaluation ended with a prescription and no explanation of monitoring, risks, or alternatives.
English is not the language you think in; culturally flattened interviews miss the actual syndrome.
Psychiatric Evaluations versus a generic template visit
ER psychiatry stabilizes crises. Outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations is for people who can wait for a scheduled diagnostic hour.
Direct-to-consumer ADHD apps optimize for conversion. This clinic optimizes for a differential that can survive a chart audit.
Traditional 15-minute med checks assume the diagnosis is already correct. We do not assume that.
Monitoring and safety in Psychiatric Evaluations
Pregnancy status and contraception when prescribing agents with teratogenic or lactation issues.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.
Telehealth identity and location in Florida are verified.
Informed consent is documented for off-label use when evidence supports it and alternatives were discussed.
What we rule in — and rule out
Pediatric primary care is not the focus of this clinic; adolescents are considered case-by-case.
Family history of bipolar disorder or psychosis that changes how aggressively we screen.
Substance use that may be inducing or masking a primary psychiatric disorder.
Insomnia that is either a syndrome of its own or a driver of daytime psychiatric symptoms.
Questions we hear about Psychiatric Evaluations
What if I am in crisis?
Call 988 or go to an emergency department. This clinic is not an after-hours crisis line.
Is GeneSight required?
No. It is considered after failed medication trials or significant side effects.
Do hormones cause psychiatric symptoms?
They can contribute. They rarely explain an entire syndrome by themselves. We test when the history points there.
What does 'affordable' in some URLs mean?
Leftover slugs. We do not market cheap care. We bill insurance when in-network and discuss costs before non-covered labs.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 0 minutes from Hollywood.
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.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Medical review flags thyroid, anemia, cardiac QT risk, pregnancy, and neurologic symptoms that redirect the workup.
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.
Records from other clinicians are requested with your authorization; we do not pretend collateral is optional when the history is fragmented.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Book Psychiatric Evaluations
Request a Psychiatric Evaluations visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.

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.
