Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
If the diagnosis is wrong, no titration schedule will look like recovery. We will re-evaluate rather than stack drugs.
Clinical scope of Medication Management in Broward County
Antipsychotic monitoring is metabolic and neurologic, not just 'mood better / worse.'
Sleep medication management asks whether the drug is treating insomnia or hiding apnea and alcohol.
Clinical FAQ
How often are visits?
Tighter after a start or change; wider when stable and labs are current.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Can a PMHNP-BC prescribe psychiatric medication in Florida?
Yes. Dr. Chatelier is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Prescribing is within Florida APRN scope, with monitoring.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
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.
What we rule in — and rule out
Bridge care after hospitalization until a stable outpatient cadence exists.
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
ADHD med titration still has to map to a problem on the list.
Need for metabolic or neurologic monitoring on an existing antipsychotic or mood stabilizer.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Stimulants: BP/HR, sleep, appetite, PDMP, diversion discussion.
Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.
Hyponatremia: BMP in older adults on SSRIs when symptoms fit.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
Visit flow for Medication Management
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Review PDMP and allergies.
Reconcile the current list, including OTC, cannabis, and hormones.
In-office versus Florida telehealth
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in Miramar presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
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.
Check labs due for the current class.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
Book Medication Management
Start with one thorough Medication Management evaluation rather than a series of 15-minute check-ins. Book at (888) 307-2199 or online.
If Medication Management 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.

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.
