Telehealth Psychiatry for Miramar patients
Telehealth ADHD care does not mean a stimulant from a form.
Online psychiatrist in consumer language often means a prescriber on video. Here that prescriber is a PMHNP-BC.
What we rule in — and rule out
Perinatal patients may use video for counseling and some follow-up; obstetric emergencies are not telehealth.
Not indicated for emergency agitation, overdose, or active SI with plan and intent that needs a room.
Hybrid plans are preferred when controlled substances or complex medical comorbidity exist.
Not a replacement for psychotherapy groups or IOP.

Miramar FAQs for Telehealth Psychiatry
What about emergencies?
988 or ER. Video visits are not emergency departments.
How close is the office if I need to convert?
About 16 minutes from Miramar to 7603 Davie Road Extension.
Can I do the first visit by video?
Often yes if privacy and risk allow. We may require Hollywood for complex or high-risk cases.
What if Zoom fails?
We call you. If safety is in question, we use emergency pathways.
Can a family member sit in?
With your consent, as collateral. Not as a substitute historian who takes over.
Is this the same as therapy?
No. This is medical psychiatric care. Therapy referrals remain separate.
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
Miramar sits in Broward County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Telehealth Psychiatry when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Telehealth Psychiatry visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
Share after-visit summary through the portal.
Send prescriptions only to a legitimate pharmacy.
Next step
After Telehealth Psychiatry is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.
Call (888) 307-2199 to hold an appointment for Telehealth Psychiatry. Mention Miramar so staff can plan in-office versus Florida telehealth for the first visit.

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.
