Questions we hear about Massage Therapy
Do therapists diagnose ADHD?
No.
Can it help anxiety?
Some people get short-term somatic relief. GAD still needs a diagnosis.
Is it required for HRT?
No.
How often?
Individual. Packages are not a psychiatric protocol.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Meds that bruise?
Tell us.
Do you understand Caribbean mental health perspectives?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is Haitian-American and deeply understands the cultural nuances that affect mental health care in Caribbean communities. We provide culturally sensitive psychiatric treatment.
Is your office accessible from Miramar?
Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from Miramar via Miramar Parkway. We also offer telehealth appointments for added convenience.
Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
If Massage Therapy is the right next step, schedule a 60–90 minute intake with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC. Same-week telehealth follow-ups are used after the diagnostic visit when clinically appropriate.
If you already have records from another psychiatrist, NP, or therapist, send them before Massage Therapy so the interview can start from data instead of from a blank page.
