Medication management from the Hollywood medical home
Tapering is a procedure. Stopping paroxetine or a benzodiazepine 'cold' is not a plan.
Medication Management for North Miami Beach patients
Mood-stabilizer adjustment uses levels, kidney/thyroid labs, and teratogenicity counseling when relevant.
Tapering is scheduled. Paroxetine, venlafaxine, benzodiazepines, and stimulants each have different withdrawal physics.
Parking, hours, and video visits
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.
ZIP 33160 is the lead postal code listed for North Miami Beach. Mail-order labs and pharmacy routing still use the patient's actual address, not this page's city token.
Send the prescription to a named pharmacy; document the pharmacy.
Revisit the original diagnosis if two classes have failed.
Questions we hear about Medication Management
What labs do I need?
Depends on the drug: TSH, lithium level, A1c, etc. We will list them in the plan.
Can medication management be telehealth?
Yes if you are in Florida and the case is appropriate. Controlled-substance rules still apply.
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 monitor antipsychotics?
Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
What if side effects start this week?
Call the office. Do not wait for a distant follow-up if symptoms are severe. ER for emergency symptoms.
Do you prescribe stimulants?
When the evaluation supports ADHD and PDMP/safety checks pass. Not from a questionnaire alone.
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.
How Medication Management is structured
Check labs due for the current class.
Document why a requested stimulant or benzo was declined.
Share the plan with the therapist when consent exists.
If prior authorization is required, start it the same day.
24-minute path to the Hollywood office

{access}. That access pattern is why Medication Management for North Miami Beach is written as a service-area page, not as a fake storefront.
Commute noise on I-95 and the Turnpike changes whether an in-office Medication Management visit is realistic this week. Telehealth is used when the clinical exam does not require the office.
You have been on an SSRI for years with no documented target symptom and no trial of a therapeutic dose.
Monitoring and safety in Medication Management
Missed labs = delayed titration.
Informed consent stored in the chart.
SGAs: weight, A1c, lipids; AIMS on a schedule.
Alcohol withdrawal is not managed as an anxiety refill.

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.
