Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
Will you see me in a parked car?
Only if it is private, stationary, and clinically appropriate. Driving is a no.
Can you send meds to my pharmacy?
Yes, a Florida pharmacy you designate.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
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.
