Body work that stays in scope
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea patients use the Hollywood office campus. This is adjunctive, scheduled care.
What Massage Therapy actually includes
Neck tension from commuting is real and still not an MRI substitute when red flags exist.
Psychiatric adjunct massage is named honestly.
Clinical FAQ
Crisis?
988 or ER, not the table.
Red-flag headache?
ER, not massage.
Men welcome?
Yes.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Do therapists diagnose ADHD?
No.
Contraindications?
Clots, fever, some skin/cardiac conditions — we screen.
Are psychiatric services available near Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Massage Therapy, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Massage Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
