Adult psychiatric evaluation for Hollywood patients

Psychiatric Evaluations for Hollywood patients
Functional psychiatric evaluation adds labs and metabolic context to the psychiatric interview. Labs do not license skipping DSM-5-TR criteria.
Booking a psychiatric evaluation is the start of a record, not a guarantee of a preferred medication.
How Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC practices Psychiatric Evaluations
When Psychiatric Evaluations overlaps with psychotherapy needs, the practice coordinates with therapists rather than replacing weekly therapy. Medication and psychotherapy have different mechanisms and both may be indicated.
Florida telehealth for Psychiatric Evaluations requires the patient to be physically in Florida at the time of the visit. Crossing a state line mid-treatment can pause prescribing until licensure allows.
Visit length for new Psychiatric Evaluations is typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk, controlled substances, and how many variables changed since the last visit.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Before the visit: intake forms, medication list, prior labs. Incomplete forms shrink the diagnostic hour.
History of present illness is a timeline, not a mood adjective. We date onsets, postpartum windows, and medication trials.
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
If telehealth was used, we record why an in-office visit was or was not required.
Access from Hollywood

Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Hollywood patients who drive 0 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
ZIP 33019 is the lead postal code listed for Hollywood. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
PHQ-9 was never scored, or it was scored once and never repeated, so nobody can tell whether treatment is working.

Next step
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Psychiatric Evaluations. Mention Hollywood 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 Psychiatric Evaluations so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
