In-office versus Florida telehealth
Lighthouse Point sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Massage Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
ZIP 33064 is the lead postal code listed for Lighthouse Point. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Privacy for undressing.
Red flags (chest pain, neuro) stop the session.

Lighthouse Point FAQs for Massage Therapy
Can it help anxiety?
Some people get short-term somatic relief. GAD still needs a diagnosis.
Pregnancy?
Tell us. Prenatal rules apply.
Do I have to get massage to see Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC?
No.
Meds that bruise?
Tell us.
Insurance?
Often not covered like a medical visit. Ask before booking.
Contraindications?
Clots, fever, some skin/cardiac conditions — we screen.
Do you offer pharmacogenetic testing?
Yes. We offer pharmacogenetic (GeneSight) testing to determine which psychiatric medications are most likely to be effective for your specific genetic makeup, reducing trial-and-error in medication selection.
What makes your evaluations comprehensive?
Our initial evaluations last 60-90 minutes and include clinical assessment, review of functional lab options, hormone screening discussion, and a personalized treatment plan — not a 15-minute med check.
Next step
If Massage Therapy is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
Crisis now is 988 or the ER — not the booking form. For non-urgent Massage Therapy, use (888) 307-2199 during weekday hours.

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.
