Clinical FAQ
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
Do I have to be in Florida?
Yes, at the time of the visit.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Does insurance cover telehealth?
Often; verify. Coverage is not guaranteed by this page.
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
Telehealth Psychiatry versus a generic template visit
Hybrid beats pure-video for labs and injections.
We will send you to the office rather than pretend a camera can do everything.
A chatbot is not Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
No prescribing if location cannot be established.
Convert to office if video cannot complete risk assessment.
Camera-on policy for MSE when required.

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.
