Panic-related muscle guarding: body work plus diagnosis
You can decline body work and still receive psychiatric care.
Massage Therapy for Miramar patients
Stress massage does not treat bipolar disorder.
Massage therapy on this site is an adjunct to a medical home, not a standalone psychiatric treatment.
Neighborhoods and ZIPs: 33023, 33025, 33027, 33029
ZIP 33023 is the lead postal code listed for Miramar. 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. Miramar patients who drive 16 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Miramar presentations. Massage Therapy intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Headache red flags ignored.
From intake to follow-up: Massage Therapy
Document response.
If you are a psych patient, we confirm massage is adjunctive.
Aftercare: hydration, dizziness precautions.
Reschedule if febrile or acutely ill.
Questions we hear about Massage Therapy
Is this a spa?
No. Adjunctive clinical setting.
Cortisol claims?
We do not sell cortisol miracles.
Panic on the table?
We stop. If medical emergency, ER.
Pregnancy?
Tell us. Prenatal rules apply.
Contraindications?
Clots, fever, some skin/cardiac conditions — we screen.
Insurance?
Often not covered like a medical visit. Ask before booking.
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.
Parking, hours, and video visits
{access}. That access pattern is why Massage Therapy for Miramar is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Massage Therapy visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Do not book through a party-spa package as if it were psychiatry.

Schedule with Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Massage Therapy. Mention Miramar 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 Massage Therapy 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. An in-person evaluation at the Hollywood office may be recommended when a physical exam, vital signs, or a more complete diagnostic interview is needed.
