Children's rooms, workplaces, and cars can be inappropriate settings. We will reschedule rather than fake privacy.
Telehealth Psychiatry for Lighthouse Point patients
Digital mental health without a chart is not this clinic.
Telepsych hormone therapy is follow-up and counseling; procedures stay in clinic or at a lab.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence

Neighborhoods and ZIPs: 33064
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Neighborhoods we hear from most in Lighthouse Point include The Venetian Isles and Sample Road east of US-1. ZIP codes 33064 map to this service-area page.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Lighthouse Point patients who drive 32 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
You have no private room in a Lighthouse Point multigenerational household.
Clinical FAQ
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Do you record the visit?
We document a note. We do not post visits.
What if my kids are home in Lighthouse Point?
We need a private room. Headphones help; a closed door is better. We will reschedule rather than take a corrupted history.
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
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.
How Telehealth Psychiatry is structured
No dual-tasking (driving) during visits.
Do not start high-risk controlled substances on a first video visit without a supporting protocol.
Send prescriptions only to a legitimate pharmacy.
If video fails, call the number on file.
Indications and differentials
Diagnostic evaluation when a physical exam is not required that day.
Perinatal patients may use video for counseling and some follow-up; obstetric emergencies are not telehealth.
First visit in-office is recommended when records are chaotic or risk is unclear.
Weather, illness, or mobility limits that still allow a private room and camera.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Telehealth Psychiatry. Mention Lighthouse Point so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Telehealth Psychiatry so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.

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.
