Diagnostic interview for mood, anxiety, ADHD, and psychosis
The output is a problem list, a differential, and a plan you can take to another clinician if you move.
Psychiatric Evaluations for Miramar patients
Perinatal mood evaluation includes pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, and medication teratogenicity counseling — not a generic depression template.
Adult ADHD assessment uses developmental history, ASRS, and mimics (anxiety, trauma, sleep, thyroid). A childhood report card helps; a viral video does not.
Labs, scales, and follow-up cadence
Patients can request a copy of the formulation; mystery diagnoses are not a clinical style.
Benzodiazepines, when used, have an indication, a taper plan, and a discussion of dependence.
Higher level of care is recommended when outpatient Psychiatric Evaluations cannot hold the risk.
QT, sodium, TSH, and metabolic labs when the chosen medication class requires them.
DSM-5-TR framing for mood disorder evaluation
Perimenopausal, postpartum, PMDD, or androgen-related mood change that has not been medically reviewed.
Out-of-state patients cannot complete a Florida telehealth evaluation while physically outside Florida.
Not indicated solely to obtain a letter that the interview does not support.
Family history of bipolar disorder or psychosis that changes how aggressively we screen.
Access from Miramar
Miramar 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.
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.
{access}. That access pattern is why Psychiatric Evaluations for Miramar is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
You were discharged from an ER with a safety plan and no outpatient diagnostic appointment.
Visit flow for Psychiatric Evaluations
Scales are chosen to match the hypothesis — we do not print every questionnaire in the building.
Follow-up is scheduled before you leave so the evaluation is not a one-off performance.
Opening 10 minutes: chief concern, safety, and what you want the evaluation to decide.
Labs are ordered when they could change management, not to decorate the chart.
Clinical FAQ
Do you see children?
The practice is primarily adults and older adolescents, considered case-by-case.
How do I prepare?
Medication list, prior psych notes, recent labs, and a timeline of symptoms. Sleep and menstrual data help.
Do you treat ADHD in adults?
Yes, with a differential that includes sleep, trauma, mood, and thyroid mimics. Childhood history still matters.
Is this a psychiatrist (MD/DO)?
Care is provided by Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC — a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. She diagnoses and prescribes within Florida APRN scope. She is not an MD psychiatrist.
Do you accept insurance?
Most major plans are accepted; verify benefits before the visit. Coverage is not a clinical promise.
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
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.
