Diagnostic interview for mood, anxiety, ADHD, and psychosis
Patients driving from Margate (28 min) can complete the first evaluation in Hollywood or, when clinically appropriate, by Florida telehealth.
What Psychiatric Evaluations actually includes
Eating-disorder psychiatric evaluation looks at restriction, binge-purge, body image, electrolytes, and when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations.
Insurance-covered evaluations still require a medically necessary indication. 'Affordable' in a leftover URL slug is not a discount promise.
28-minute path to the Hollywood office
Margate (Broward County) has about 58,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 28 minutes from Margate Community Center and the Coconut Creek Parkway edge.
ZIP 33063 is the lead postal code listed for Margate. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Margate 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.
You want a second opinion but do not want to restart the entire story from birth.
From intake to follow-up: Psychiatric Evaluations
Safety: if risk is high, we stop the routine template and use crisis pathways.
Psychiatric review of systems covers mood, anxiety, psychosis, OCD, trauma, ADHD, sleep, eating, and substance use even if you came for only one of those.
Mental status exam is documented: appearance, speech, affect, thought process, insight, cognition, and risk.
Opening 10 minutes: chief concern, safety, and what you want the evaluation to decide.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Telehealth identity and location in Florida are verified.
PDMP review before controlled substances. No stimulant start from a chat message.
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
Safety screen every visit: SI/HI, psychosis, inability to care for self, and intoxication.
Parking, hours, and video visits
ZIP 33063 is the lead postal code listed for Margate. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. Margate patients who drive 28 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Formulation is shared in plain language: what is likely, what is possible, what we are watching.
Labs are ordered when they could change management, not to decorate the chart.
Indications and differentials
Out-of-state patients cannot complete a Florida telehealth evaluation while physically outside Florida.
Substance use that may be inducing or masking a primary psychiatric disorder.
Not indicated as a substitute for emergency care, inpatient psychiatry, or court-ordered forensic evaluation.
Not indicated solely to obtain a letter that the interview does not support.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Request a Psychiatric Evaluations visit by calling (888) 307-2199 or using the booking form. Bring current medications, prior labs, and a list of what has already been tried.
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.

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.
