Sleep medication management that does not skip apnea
We measure what the drug can harm: sodium, TSH, lipids, A1c, weight, AIMS, pregnancy — class by class.
Medication Management for North Miami Beach patients
ADHD titration follows a confirmed differential. Heart rate, sleep, appetite, and diversion risk are part of the visit.
Genetic testing (pharmacogenomics) may change CYP2D6/2C19 probabilities. It is not a personality test.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
Do you monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
Can I refuse a medication?
Always. Informed consent includes the option of no medication.
Will I get a refill without a visit?
Not as a routine. Monitoring interval is part of the prescription.
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.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
Do you prescribe benzodiazepines long-term?
Rarely, with a documented indication and a taper orientation. They are not a standing plan for GAD.
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.
Do you understand immigration-related mental health challenges?
Yes. We see many patients dealing with adjustment stress, anxiety related to immigration experiences, and intergenerational trauma. Our evaluations consider these cultural and social factors alongside clinical symptoms.
What we rule in — and rule out
Need for metabolic or neurologic monitoring on an existing antipsychotic or mood stabilizer.
Perinatal prescribing only with risk-benefit counseling.
Hypnotics only after sleep differential, not as a standing nightcap.
Intolerable side effects that might respond to dose change, switch, or adjunct.
Parking, hours, and video visits
South Florida heat, hurricane disruption, shift work, and multigenerational households show up in North Miami Beach presentations. Medication Management intake asks about those stressors explicitly.
Parking at 7603 Davie Road Extension is on site. North Miami Beach patients who drive 24 minutes should plan for weekday 9:00–17:00 hours; Saturday is by appointment only.
Set the next visit before the bottle runs out.
If side effects appear, do not wait for the next quarterly slot — tighten follow-up.
Access from North Miami Beach
North Miami Beach (Miami-Dade County) has about 43,000 residents. The nearest Peace & Heart Wellness exam room is the Hollywood office, about 24 minutes from Oleta River State Park and the 163rd Street corridor.

You fear dependency, so you skip doses and then crash, which looks like 'nonadherence.'

Clozapine: ANC monitoring — we refer if we cannot meet the REMS cadence.

Formulary alternatives offered without pretending they are identical.
