North Miami Beach FAQs for Psychiatric Evaluations
Is the visit confidential?
HIPAA applies, with the usual safety exceptions (imminent harm, mandated reports).
Will you prescribe on visit one?
Only when the diagnosis, safety, and monitoring plan support it. Controlled substances have a higher bar.
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.
Where is the office?
7603 Davie Road Extension, Hollywood, FL 33024 — about 24 minutes from North Miami Beach.
How soon is follow-up?
Often 2–4 weeks after a new medication or a complex formulation; longer when stable.
Do hormones cause psychiatric symptoms?
They can contribute. They rarely explain an entire syndrome by themselves. We test when the history points there.
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.
