Clinical FAQ
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
Are leftover 'affordable refill' URLs a discount?
No. They are retained slugs. Billing follows insurance contracts.
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.
Does Dr. Chatelier understand Caribbean cultural views on mental health?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural perspectives on mental health common in Caribbean communities. She provides respectful, culturally aware psychiatric care.
