Can North Miami Beach residents use your Hollywood office?
Yes. Our Hollywood office is about 15 minutes from North Miami Beach via I-95. We also offer telehealth for routine medication management and follow-up appointments.

North Miami Beach sits in Miami-Dade County. County-level resources (crisis lines, hospital ERs, IOP programs) are discussed during Massage Therapy when a higher level of care is safer than outpatient titration.
Refer to Dr. Dorothy Chatelier, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC if the real need is a psychiatric evaluation.
Privacy for undressing.
Next step
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.
After Massage Therapy is scheduled, complete intake forms once. Repeating the same history at every visit is what we are trying to avoid.

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.
