60–90 minute psychiatric evaluation in Hollywood, serving Wilton Manors
Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC conducts a structured diagnostic interview, then decides which labs, scales, and follow-up cadence actually belong on the plan.
What Psychiatric Evaluations actually includes
Psychosis evaluation treats hallucinations, delusions, and disorganization as time-sensitive. Substance-induced and mood-with-psychosis are on the differential.
Mood disorder evaluation asks about duration, anhedonia, mixed features, postpartum onset, seasonality, and hypomania — because treatment diverges.

Care is hormone-informed and lab-aware rather than checklist-only.

Wilton Manors FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
How long is a psychiatric evaluation?
New evaluations are typically 60–90 minutes. Follow-up length depends on risk and how many variables changed.
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
Can the evaluation be done by video?
Often yes if you are physically in Florida and a physical exam is not required. High-risk, first-episode psychosis, or complex medical cases may need the Hollywood office.
Do you diagnose on the first visit?
Usually we can state a working diagnosis and differential after the first complete interview. Some presentations need collateral, labs, or a second visit.
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.
Will you prescribe on visit one?
Only when the diagnosis, safety, and monitoring plan support it. Controlled substances have a higher bar.
Do you provide LGBTQ+-affirming psychiatric care?
Yes. We provide competent, affirming psychiatric care for all patients. Our hormone therapy services and psychiatric evaluations are delivered with respect for every patient's identity.
Can you coordinate hormone therapy with psychiatric medication?
Absolutely. This is one of our specialties. We understand the interplay between hormone levels and mood, and manage both under one clinical roof for optimal outcomes.
