Telehealth Psychiatry for Lighthouse Point patients
Digital mental health without a chart is not this clinic.
Functional telepsych = interview + local lab draw + video results visit.
Questions we hear about Telehealth Psychiatry
Who is on camera?
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — not an anonymous coach.
Is 'online psychiatrist' an MD?
Consumer language. Your clinician is a PMHNP-BC. We do not hide that.
Is it encrypted?
Yes. Still avoid public Wi-Fi.
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.
What platform do you use?
A HIPAA-compliant video platform. You will get a link after booking.
Affordable online psych URL?
Retained slug. Not a discount brand.
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

Verify insurance telehealth coverage before the visit when possible.
Same history and MSE as office, adapted to camera.
Parking, hours, and video visits
Lighthouse Point 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.
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.

Patients in Lighthouse Point for whom 32 minutes plus parking is the barrier.
Perinatal patients may use video for counseling and some follow-up; obstetric emergencies are not telehealth.
Diagnostic evaluation when a physical exam is not required that day.
32-minute path to the Hollywood office
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.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Lighthouse Point presentations. Telehealth Psychiatry intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
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.

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.
