Telehealth ADHD care after a real differential
This is not 'virtual therapy' as a synonym for weekly psychotherapy. This is medical psychiatric care by video.
Telehealth Psychiatry for Lauderhill patients
Digital mental health without a chart is not this clinic.
Booking telepsych is booking a medical visit with a location rule.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
Lauderhill sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Lauderhill patients who drive 18 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.

If risk is high, stop and use crisis instructions for Broward County.
Clinical FAQ
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
What if I travel to Georgia?
We cannot see you by telehealth while you are outside Florida.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
What if my kids are home in Lauderhill?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
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.
How far is Lauderhill from your office?
Our Hollywood office is approximately 20 minutes from Lauderhill via University Drive or 441. Telehealth is available for patients who prefer virtual visits.

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.
