Miramar FAQs for Massage Therapy
Where?
Hollywood office area; 16 min from Miramar.
Do I have to get massage to see Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC?
No.
Does massage treat depression?
No. It may ease tension. Depression still needs medical/psychological care.
Red-flag headache?
ER, not massage.
Cortisol claims?
We do not sell cortisol miracles.
Panic on the table?
We stop. If medical emergency, ER.
Do you understand Caribbean mental health perspectives?

Book Massage Therapy
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.
