Functional psychiatric evaluation with targeted labs
PHQ-9, GAD-7, ASRS, and MDQ are scored when the history supports them. Scores guide Psychiatric Evaluations; they do not replace it.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Weston patients
Sleep assessment looks at insomnia, circadian delay, apnea clues, and whether poor sleep is driving the daytime syndrome or following it.
Walk-in language on older URLs means we will try to find an earlier slot when risk is high — not that a diagnostic interview happens in a lobby.
Credentials and method
Psychology Today verification and GeneSight partnership are listed as practice credentials. They support Psychiatric Evaluations; they are not a diagnosis and they are not a guarantee of outcome.
The practice is women-owned and Haitian-led. Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC documents cultural context — including stigma in Caribbean and Latin American families — during Psychiatric Evaluations rather than treating it as an afterthought.
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.
Clinical FAQ
What labs might you order?
Hypothesis-driven: TSH with free T4, ferritin, vitamin D, B12, folate, CBC, CMP, and selected hormones. Not every patient needs every test.
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
Can I use this evaluation for a legal letter?
Only if the interview actually supports the opinion. We do not write unsupported letters.
Is GeneSight required?
No. It is considered after failed medication trials or significant side effects.
Do you treat ADHD in adults?
Yes, with a differential that includes sleep, trauma, mood, and thyroid mimics. Childhood history still matters.
Do you offer discreet telehealth for Weston patients?
Yes. Many Weston patients prefer our secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth option for appointments from the privacy of their home or office.
Can you help with executive performance and focus issues?
Absolutely. We specialize in ADHD evaluations, cognitive performance optimization, and medication management for adults who need to perform at a high level.

Weston sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Psychiatric Evaluations when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Psychiatric Evaluations visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
